Which of the following has NOT had a direct impact on tourism demand?&#10;A)Ebola&#10;B)Water scarcity in Mediterranean destinations&#10;C)Foot and Mouth Disease&#10;D)Terrorism

Accepted Answer

Water scarcity in Mediterranean destinations primarily affects the supply side of tourism by limiting the resources available for tourists, rather than directly impacting the demand for tourism. In contrast, Ebola, Foot and Mouth Disease, and terrorism directly affect tourism demand due to health and safety concerns.

Which is incorrect? Weather and climatic factors impact tourism in the following ways:&#10;A)Through the hours of daylight and sunshine that a destination possesses&#10;B)Through the amounts of annual precipitation and snow it receives&#10;C)Through attention to weather forecasts for daily activities&#10;D)By making visitors more willing to experience extreme weather events

Accepted Answer

D is incorrect because weather and climatic factors impacting tourism generally relate to the conditions that affect travel plans and comfort levels, rather than making visitors more willing to experience extreme weather events. Visitors typically seek to avoid extreme weather rather than being attracted to it.

Question 7

Which city does not have a tourist tax?&#10;A)London&#10;B)Edinburgh&#10;C)Paris&#10;D)Barcelona

Accepted Answer

London does not have a tourist tax. Tourist taxes are levied in many cities to help fund tourism infrastructure, but as of my last update, London does not impose such a tax on visitors.

Accepted Answer

The number of hotel rooms available is a measure of supply, not demand. Demand in the context of tourism typically refers to the desire and ability of people to travel to and stay in places outside their usual environment, which can be measured by the volume of visitors, value of tourism, and nights spent in accommodation.

Question 9

National tourism statistics are NOT commonly measurements of:&#10;A)Arrivals&#10;B)Excursions&#10;C)Trips&#10;D)Expenditure

Traditional methods include counts at borders, interviews, and accommodation data.
