Travel Tour

Back in October of 2010 I took a trip to Atlanta GA to go to games 3 and for of the Baseball playoff series between the San Francisco Giants against the Atlanta Braves. I stayed there for a total of 3 days and two nights. I spent about $180 for a hotel for two nights plus it also cost me $30 in transportation to the game via the train round trip from the hotel to the stadium plus I also spent $300 for a ticket to game 3 as well as a ticket to game 4. It was a memorable trip for me because I got to watch the Giants win the first round of the playoffs in another teams park and I also got to see the Atlanta Braves manager Bobby Cox manage the final game of his career. I figured I spent about on this trip a total of $1565 including hotel, airfare, game tickets, food and transportation to the game as well as going to the night clubs and bar scenes. I wouldn’t say I had much of an impact on the economy of the state of Georgia because the attendance to the game was no surprise it was always sold out and it was the playoffs. My attendance though is just one of many people who spent money to make the trip to Georgia for the playoff games but whether I go or not the City of Atlanta is going to make money on tourists in other ways such as visiting the Coca Cola Plant or the Martin Luther King Library as well.

With tourism in another country it has its positives and negatives. The positives of tourism in another country is that people can get used to the climates and the culture but the negatives are sometimes people forget that you are not in America when you visit a foreign country so when you go to another country sometimes the way you eat or the way you dress or even the way you speak to people as well as the way you conduct yourself when you eat in their restaurants. Now with pollution in a foreign country that is more likely to have a negative impact because some people may get sick and not get used to the atmosphere in a foreign country. Ecotourism in
