Chapter 1 1.1 Introduction of Tourism Travel and tourism is a major industry in this country and is at the top of the league of invisible earners of foreign currency. Tourism is travel for recreational, leisure or business purposes. The World Tourism Organization defines tourists as people who "travel to and stay in places outside their usual environment for more than twenty-four hours and not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and other purposes not related to the exercise of an activity remunerated from within the place visited". India’s travel and tourism industry is one of them most profitable industries in the country, and also credited with contributing a substantial amount of foreign exchange. Tourism has become a popular global leisure activity. In 2008, there were over 922 million international tourist arrivals, with a growth of 1.9% as compared to 2007. International tourism receipts grew to US$944 billion in 2008, corresponding to an increase in real terms of 1.8%. Tourism is traveling for predominantly recreational or leisure purposes or the provision of services to support this leisure travel. The World Tourism Organization defines tourists as people who "travel to and stay in places outside their usual environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and other purposes not related to the exercise of an activity remunerated from within the place visited". Tourism has become a popular global leisure activity. In 2004, there were over 763million international tourist arrivals. Tourism is vital for many countries, due to the income generated by the consumption of goods and services by tourists, the taxes levied on businesses in the tourism industry, and the opportunity for employment in the service industries associated with tourism. These service industries include transportation services such as cruise ships and taxis, accommodation such as hotels, restaurants, bars, and entertainment venues, and other hospitality industry services such as spas and resorts. The Travel and Tourism industry is still one of the largest single businesses in world commerce and its importance is widely recognized. The tourism industry is now one of the largest sectors earning foreign exchange. In the face of many benefits, many countries have started assigning due weight age to the tourism industry in their national development agenda.

Tourism Statistics: i. The Tourism Industry as a whole is presently estimated to earn over US$ 3.5 trillion worldwide. ii. The Travel and Tourism industry generates about 11% of world GDP and 200 million job across the global economy. 7

TOURISM INDUSTRY IN INDIA Indian Tourism industry is one of the most important export industries of the country. Although the international tourist inflow is relatively low, India has found tourism emerging as an important sector of its economy. Recent statistics have revealed that during the first quarter of 2006, the performance of the tourism industry has been very encouraging which has registered an 11% increase in foreign tourist arrivals.

Tourism and its Major Components:The vast majority of business organizations such as travel agents, meeting planners, and other service providers including accommodation, transportation, attractions and entertainment are classified as travel and tourism related business. In practice, these organizations are closely linked in the provision of services to the travelers. Tourism is so vast, so complex, and so multifaceted that the practitioners need to obtain a wide range of knowledge related to tourism.

8

Here are three basic components of tourism which are also known as 3 A’s of tourism: 1. Accessibility (Reach ability/Transportation):- Accessibility means reachability to the place of destination through various means of transportation. Transportation should be regular, comfortable, economical and safe. Today there are various means of transportation like airlines, railways, surface (road transportation) and water transportation. The transportation should be there for all kinds of tourists and destinations.

2. Accommodation: - It Is A Place Where Tourists Can Find Food And Shelter Provided He/ She Is In A Fit Position To Pay For It. There Are Various Types Of Accommodation From A Seven Star Deluxe Hotel To A Normal Budget Class Hotel.

3. Attraction (Locale): - It is considered as the most important basic component of tourism. Attraction means anything that creates a desire in any person to travel in a specific tourist destination or attraction. Locale is another basic component of tourism. The locale may be used to include the holiday destination and what it offers to the tourist. The holiday destination may offer natural attractions. It is considered as the most important basic component of tourism. Fashion is an important factor in the demand for various tourist attractions and amenities. The tourist who visits a particular 9

place for its natural beauty may decide to visit some other attractions due to a change in fashion. Elements of tourism: - There are certain elements or ingredients of tourism. They are the fundamental attractions of tourism. They are. 1. Pleasing weather 2. Scenic attractions 3. Historical and cultural factors. 4. Accessibility 5. Amenities 6. Accommodation 7. Safety and security 8. Other factors a. Guide/ escort facilities. b. Basic medical facilities. c. Electricity d. Water e. Communication system. 1. Pleasing weather: - Fine weather with warm sun shine is one of the most important attractions of any tourist place. Particularly good weather plays an important role in making a holiday pleasant or an unpleasant experience. Tourist from countries with extremes of weather Visit Sea beaches in search of fine weather and sunshine. Due to this many spas and resorts along the sea coasts come into existence. In Europe, countries like Italy, Spain and Greece have developed beautiful beach resorts. There are many such resorts along the coasts of Mediterranean sea INDIA, Sri Lanka, Thailand Indonesia, Australia, Philippines and some other countries have beautiful sea beaches with fine weather are best examples where weather has played a prominent in attracting tourists. In some countries hill station resorts’ have been developed to eater the needs of tourists. The best example for this is Shimla. 2. Scenic attractions: - No doubt scenic attractions are very important factors in tourism. Scenery consisting of mountains, lakes, waterfalls, glaciers, forests, deserts, is strong forces attracting people to visit them. Thousands and thousands of tourists are attracted by the northern slopes of the Alps in Switzerland and Austria and the southern slopes at Italy And also Himalayan. Mountain slopes of India and Nepal. 10

3. Historical and cultural factors: - Historical and cultural interest exercised tremendous influence over travellers. Large numbers of tourists are attracted every year by the great drawing power of start food on Avon in England because of its association with Shakespeare, or the city of Agra in India because of its famous leaning tower. Large number of Americans and Canadians visit London because of its historical and cultural attractions. So also the world famous caves of Ajanta and Ellora in India are visited by tourists because of its architecture and painting.

4. Accessibility: - Accessibility is another important factor of tourism. There should be accessibility for each and every location of tourist attractions. If their locations are inaccessible by the normal means of transport, it would be of little importance. All kinds of transport facilities are to be made available for such locations. The distance factor also plays am important role in determining a tourist’s choice of a destination. Longer distance cost much than to short distances.

5. Amenities: - facilities are very essential for any tourist centre. They are considered necessary aid to the tourist centre. For a seaside resort facilities like swimming, boating, yachting surf riding and such other facilities like deeming recreations and amusements are an important feature. There are two types of amenities viz. Natural and man made. Beaches, sea-bathing, fishing, climbing, trekking, viewing etc. Are come under the former category. Various types of entertainments and facilities which cater for the special needs of the tourists come under the latter category. 6. Accommodation: - The need and necessity of accommodation cannot be ignored in tourist destination. Accommodation plays a vital role in this field. Many changes have taken place in accommodation recently. New types of accommodation, particularly, holiday villages, apartment houses camping and caravan sites and tourist cottage etc, have become very popular. Usually a large number of tourists visit a particular spot simply because there is a first class hotel with excellent facilities. Today Switzerland, Holland, Austria and the Netherlands have gained reputation for good cuisine, comfort and cleanliness. 7. Safety and Security: Safety and security are vital to providing quality in tourism. More than any other economic activity, the success or failure of a tourism destination depends on being able to

provide

a

safe

and

secure

environment

for

visitors.

Other factors: - Besides the above factors, hospitality is one such factor among the variety of factors. It is the duty of the host country to be hospitable towards tourists. For this French and Indian governments have done a lot. A series of short films on various themes like “being 11

courteous”, “cleanliness” and “welcoming” a visitor” were prepared and exhibited through a wide network cinema theaters all over the country. Slogans like “welcome a visitor- send back a friend” were displayed at various important exists and entry points like railway stations, airports and seaports. Following the above methods, many other countries launched “Be nice” campaigns. It means that the tourists must be treated as friends.

Significance of tourism Tourism is an important, even vital, source of income for many countries. Its importance was recognized in the Manila Declaration on World Tourism of 1980 as "an activity essential to the life of nations because of its direct effects on the social, cultural, educational, and economic sectors of national societies and on their international relations Tourism brings in large amounts of income into a local economy in the form of payment for goods and services needed by tourists, accounting for 30% of the world's trade of services, and 6% of overall exports of goods and services. It also creates opportunities for employment in the service sector of the economy associated with tourism] The service industries which benefit from tourism include transportation services, such as airlines, cruise

ships,

including hotels and resorts;

and taxicabs; and

hospitality

services,

entertainment

venues,

such

as accommodations,

such

as amusement

parks, casinos, shopping malls, music venues, and theatres. This is in addition to goods bought by tourists, including souvenirs, clothing and other supplies.

Travel Travel comprises all journeys from one place to another. It includes all journeys made by people who enter a country for leisure, to work, reside, study or who just pass through a country without stopping.

Definition •

In 1936, the League of Nations defined a foreign tourist as "someone travelling abroad for at least twenty-four hours". Its successor, the United Nations, amended this definition in 1945, by including a maximum stay of six months

•

In 1941, Hunziker and Krapfs defined tourism as "the sum of the phenomena and relationships arising from the travel and stay of non-residents, insofar as they do not lead to permanent residence and are not connected with any earning activity.

•

In 1976, the Tourism Society of England's definition was: "Tourism is the temporary, short-term movement of people to destinations outside the places where they normally live and work and their activities during the stay at each destination. It includes movements for all purposes.

•

In 1981, the International Association of Scientific Experts in Tourism defined tourism in terms of particular activities chosen and undertaken outside the home.



Domestic tourism, involving residents of the given country travelling only within this country.



Inbound tourism, involving non-residents travelling in the given country.



Outbound tourism, involving residents travelling in another country.

The terms tourism and travel are sometimes used interchangeably. In this context, travel has a similar

definition

to

tourism,

but

implies

a

more

purposeful

journey.

The

terms tourism and tourist are sometimes used pejoratively, to imply a shallow interest in the cultures or locations visited. By contrast, traveler is often used as a sign of distinction. The sociology of tourism has studied the cultural values underpinning these distinctions and their implications for class relations.

Tourism Tourism means the temporary short-term movement of people to destinations outside the places where they normally live and work, as well as their activities during their stay at these destinations. Tourism comprises the activities of persons travelling to and staying in places outside their usual environment for less than a year and whose main purpose of travel is other than the exercise of an activity remunerated from within the place visited. The term “usual environment” is intended to exclude trips within the area of usual residence and frequent and regular trips between the domicile and the workplace and other community trips of a routine character. Based on the UNWTO definition on tourism, tourism could be categorized as: Domestic Tourism Domestic tourism involves trips made by local residents within their own countries. Example: An American, who lives in New York, takes a business trip to Los Angeles. International Tourism International Tourism involves trips between 2 countries. To a certain country, visits by residents of that country to another country is her outbound tourism; visits to that country by residents of another country is her inbound tourism. Example: Trips between Hong Kong and Japan. Hong Kong as the point of origin/point of destination: 17

 Visits made by Hong Kong residents to Japan are Hong Kong’s outbound tourism.  Visits made by Japanese to Hong Kong are Hong Kong’s inbound tourism. International tourists are those who travel to a country other than the one in which they normally live.

The tourist leaves Country A (which is a tourist generating country) to Country B (which is a tourist receiving country). From the point of view of Country A, this person is an outbound tourist; but from the point of view of Country B, he or she is an inbound tourist.

Forms of tourism.

1.2 Introduction of Travel Agency

Travel agency definition A travel agency is a retail business, that sells travel related products and services to customers, on behalf of suppliers, such as airlines, car rentals, cruise lines, hotels, railways, sightseeing tours and package holidays that combine several products. In addition to dealing with ordinary tourists, most travel agencies have a separate department devoted to making travel arrangements for business travelers and some travel agencies specialize in commercial and business travel only. There are also travel agencies that serve as general sales agents for foreign travel companies, allowing them to have offices in countries other than where their headquarters are located.

Travel Agents A travel agency may either be one of a chain of retail outlets or a single operation. The work of the larger agencies is often divided between different divisions, e.g. counter service, business travel and foreign exchange. In smaller concerns each member of the staff will have to handle many aspects of the agency's business. Some agencies limit their activities to arranging travel and/or holidays to a specific area, but most cater for a very much wider demand and fulfill all the functions associated with acting as intermediary between the providers of holidays, transport, accommodation etc., and the client. Companies that deal only with business travel are called Business Travel Houses. They may also be responsible for dealing with the planning, publicity and bookings for trade fairs and conferences. Travel agency sales clerks take bookings on behalf of tour operators, sell tickets for travel, make hotel bookings, take payments from the public and give advice, on types of holidays, methods of travel, passports, visas, travelers cheques, foreign currency etc., They need to have a good knowledge of the products and destinations offered by the tour operating and travel companies. Managers and assistant managers are responsible for the day-to-day operation of branch offices. This includes staffing, marketing, accountancy, complaints etc. Travel managers should have professional qualifications and experience. In a small agency training will probably be on-the-job. Large companies may offer a training programme.

21

Importance of travel agency. Travel Agencies are the primary source for travel resources for both normal individuals and tourist service providers. The latter includes the promotions for all travel essential for both business and leisure travelers including: hotels, airlines, car rentals, and theme parks, among other travel needs. The role of a travel agent is to make the process of designing a trip as stress-free as possible. They provide clients professional, personalized service and expertise to fulfill travel requests. Travel agencies are the most important and lowest cost channel of distribution for airlines. They contribute to 80% of total airline tickets sales this number is likely to decrease in the future due to airlines’ introduction of special fares through the Internet. Travel agencies also manage 1/3 of hotel room sales and car rentals in the US The role of travel agencies is changing with the change in technology. The Internet has provided regular individuals with all the resources that a travel agent has. Regular individuals like you or me are now able to book tickets, search for hotels and make car rental reservations. The main difference is that we only have access to the resources available online whereas agencies possess also the power of global reservations system (GRS) such as Galileo or Amadeus. The importance of travel agencies in the future will be directed related to their ability of combining the resources they already have with an efficient use of the resources provided in the web. Travel agencies should be able to hunt for bargains in an efficient way. In terms of travel agency's importance to airlines it is important to mention that thanks to travel agencies, airlines are able to reduce operational costs. Not only do travel agencies book and process most of airlines’ reservations but also they allow airlines to focus mainly

on

quality

associated

with

flying

airplanes.

The fact that airlines don’t have to worry about selling and distributing tickets make travel agencies a perfect friend for airlines.

22

3.3:-Ticketing 45

TICKET -printed slip indicating the right to admission, transportation, etc.

E-ticket (electronic ticket) An e-ticket (electronic ticket) is a paperless electronic document used for ticketing passengers, particularly in the commercial airline industry. Virtually all major airlines now use this method of ticketing. When a customer books a flight by telephone or using the Web, the details of the reservation are stored in a computer. The customer can request that a hardcopy confirmation be sent by postal mail, but it is not needed at the check-in desk. A confirmation number is assigned to the passenger, along with the flight number(s), date(s), departure location(s), and destination location(s). When checking in at the airport, the passenger simply presents positive identification. Then necessary boarding passes are issued, and the passenger can check luggage and proceed through security to the gate area. The principal advantage of e-ticketing is the fact that it reduces booking expense by eliminating the need for printing and mailing paper documents. Another advantage is that it eliminates the possibility of critical documents getting lost in the mail or being sent to the wrong address.

CHAPTER 6 CONCLUSION Training is the most important aspect of anyone’s life before going to enter in any type of field weather is it a govt. sector or is it a private sector. Being a student of tourism it is too much essential to be familiar with all the different perspectives of tourism. Tourism product is totally different from other product available in the market. So for that training play a major role in this field to know about the specialties of a particular place, people, price and promotion. Training make us capable to take decisions as according to the taste of traveler that what places he/ she want to visit, what attractions they want to visit, how much amount they want to spent.
