Tourism Theory

Tourism Theory explores why people travel and how it impacts destinations. It examines factors like economic benefits, cultural exchange, and personal fulfillment, as well as challenges such as environmental sustainability and local community effects. The theory helps us understand the motivations behind travel, the decision-making process, and the resulting social, cultural, and ecological changes. It integrates ideas from economics, sociology, and environmental science to guide sustainable tourism development that benefits both travelers and host communities. Overall, it provides a framework for analyzing the complexities of tourism’s role in shaping societies and environments.
