THE SCOPE OF TOURISM
The tourism industry provides goods and services that are primarily for consumption by tourists, for example: transport services, accommodation, travel agencies, package tours, reservation systems, and tourist attractions such as theme parks, guided tours, and retail outlets.
Tourism is a diverse industry that often encompasses the skills and resources of other industries. Industries that may start out as primary or secondary producers can very easily become (at least in part) a tourist facility. For example:
Farms might offer bed and breakfast facilities to supplement their income
Factories conduct factory tours
Shops that originally catered to local trade add new products to their shelves to cater for tourists
Local craftspeople can cooperate to attract tourists to their workshops, galleries etc.
Whilst some businesses only cater for tourists (e.g. cruise ships and guided tours) others, such as restaurants and car rental firms, might be predominantly a tourism product in one locality but attract a different clientele (e.g. local and business people) in another locality.
The tourism industry provides a wide range of services: some essential, others optional. Accommodation, transport, food and toilet facilities are essential services. Sightseeing might not be essential, but without appropriate points of interest, the tourism value of a destination is certainly diminished.
SCOPE OF HOSPITALITY
Hospitality can encompass providing accommodation, food services (catering, restaurants), managing events, or any other services geared to make like comfortable and enjoyable for the client
Scope of Accommodation
Shelter is not a basic human invention; it is something which all humans seek instinctively, as do all animals, in a world which is very seldom attuned exactly to an individual's physiological and social needs.
The concept of what a building needs to be is more than just a shelter. It is, functionally, what we expect it to be. The following list makes an attempt to include all the functional requirements which a building is expected to fulfil:
1. Provision for the most immediate needs of human metabolism.
· Clean air for breathing.
· Clean water for drinking, food preparation, washing, and flushing of wastes.
· In some buildings, facilities for preparation and food consumption.
· Removal and recycling of wastes, including excrement, wash food wastes and rubbish.
2. Creation of the necessary conditions for human thermal comfort:
· Control of the mean radiant temperature.
· Control of the air temperature.
· Control of the thermal characteristics of surfaces which are contacted directly by the human body.
· Control of humidity and air circulation.
· Exclusion of water from inhabited space.
3. Creation of the necessary conditions for sensory comfort, efficiency and privacy.
· Optimum visual conditions
· Visual privacy
· Optimum hearing levels
· Acoustic privacy
4. Control of the exit and entry of living creatures.
5. Distribution of concentrated energy to convenient points for use in powering various tools and appliances.
6. Provision of certain channels of connection and communication with the outside world - windows, telephones, mailboxes, etc.
7. Facilitation of bodily comfort, safety and productive activity through the provision of useful surfaces, floors, walls, stairs, shelves, countertops, benches, etc.
8. Provision of static support for the weights of all people, belongings, equipment, etc., and of sufficient structural resistance to adverse weather conditions.
9. Furnishing of reasonable protection to its occupants, its contents and itself against fire damage.
10. A building must be built without excessive expense or difficulty.
11. A building must be capable of being operated, maintained and changed in a useful economical manner.
