Page 2: Tourism in New Age

BRIEF HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

Times are changing and so are the demands and expectations of the 'new'

traveller, the search for different experiences, different adventures,

different lifestyles has paved the way for this concept called the 'new tourism'

Attention is being turned to exploring new frontiers or daring to go where traditional

thought did not allow.

As tourism is so unpredictable and volatile in today’s world any changes, be they social, economic, environmental, political, cultural or religious can have a counter effect on the trends of the industry at that point. When it comes to travel consumers are incredibly influenced. Since the development of tourism began in 1700 (wikipedia article) it has changed radically in that it is available to the masses and with a wide choice. This report will study the technological advances and how this affects tourism through volume, type or impact on a place at a certain period.

Technological changes within tourism surround several different factors from medical advances to the innovative space tourism. Similar to tourism, technology is an ever changing and sometimes unstable business. Better communication, transport and safety have encouraged new consumers to the industry. Improvements in water supply, medicine and knowledge have meant areas are opened up which were not possible before technological advances. In today’s society in which a consumer wants easier, quicker and cheaper service only technology has helped tourism fulfil the customers demand

FACTORS THAT BROUGHT ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT OF TOURISM

Factors that have led to the growth in travel and tourism

The end of the Second World War in 1945 was a watershed in the history of the world, also

in the development of the travel and tourism industry. The industry has grown rapidly since the

1950s, including:

more leisure time and higher income levels have allowed people to travel more often, particularly

on overseas holidays.

* Developments in technology: developments in jet aircraft and computer technology have contributed to the growth in domestic and

international travel and tourism.

* Product development and innovation: the development of seaside resorts, introduction of

holiday camps, package holidays, long-haul destinations and all weather attractions have all

been introduced to meet growing demand for travel and tourism products and services.

Page 21: Tourism in New Age

* Changing consumer needs, expectations and fashions:

through exposures to television and other mass media, people

are looking for more opportunities to travel

overseas.

Contributions of the Age of

New Technology

Page 23: Tourism in New Age

SOME OF THE COMMON CONTRIBUTIONS THAT LED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF TOURISM:

Transportation Technology in the New Era has helped in

advancing the different forms of transportation in order for tourism to take place. Tourism will be requiring every available transportation for the guest travelers. With the help of technology, these modes of transportation such as buses, railways, cruise ships and airplanes will have us reach any destination around the world, including the most remote areas in the shortest time possible, thus increasing time for leisure and recreation.

Communication For Tourism to function

properly, there must be a proper form of communication from person to person. That is why we have technology to thank for its contribution to the tourism industry. Because of it, there are various transactions that have been successfully completed without mistakes and misunderstandings such as using personal computers for online ticketing reservations.

Entertainment

There comes a time when travelers seek ways on how they can pass the time while traveling onto their destination because they get bored just by sitting back in their seats, waiting for their journey to end. Entertainment in the New Era has given tourists an opportunity to “move about the cabin” or interact with the tour’s set of activities until such time that they arrive at their chosen destination. One of which is airline movies and other tour activities.
