Contemporary institutionalized tourism:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Contemporary institutionalized tourism is a mass production industry, where standardized experiences are offered to a large number of tourists. This allows for efficiency, cost-effectiveness and large-scale profits for tourism operators. However, the downside is that it may lack authenticity and uniqueness in the tourist experience.

Option B is incorrect as maximum novelty of experience is not a characteristic of institutionalized tourism, but rather of alternative forms of tourism such as ecotourism or adventure tourism.

Option C is also incorrect as institutionalized tourism can be attractive to many people, especially those who seek convenience, comfort and familiarity in their travels.

Option D is partially correct as institutionalized tourism may focus more on profitability rather than sustainable tourism development in developing countries, but it can also bring foreign investment, create jobs and contribute to the economy.
