    Introduction :

    The geography of tourism is dominated by number


    of key themes, which relate location, place and space,
    human and cultural characteristics, and the movement of
    people or mobility. The geography of tourism is also
    concerned with the flows of tourism from generating
    countries to destinations.
    These can be heavily influenced by economic and
    political factors, with the flows of tourism traditionally
    being from western developed countries to less developed
    countries.

    The Geography Of Resources For Tourism :

    With a growing demand for tourism focused on a resource base.

    Different types of tourism will have distinctive requirements for


    growth, and certain sites, regions or countries will be more
    favorable for development than others,

    we can examine tourism resources on 3 scales,


    • Global
    • National
    • Local

    9
    Characteristics Of Tourism Resources :
    Tourism resources have three main characteristics,

    • Tangible features

    • Most tourism resources are not used exclusively by tourist

    • Tourism resources are perishable

    10
    Tourism Resources At Global Scale :
    Physical features

    The land surface of the earth is composed of a variety of landforms which we can
    broadly group into four categories.

    - Mountains - Elevated plateaus


    - More gently sloping hill lands - Low land plains

    Cultural features

    A country’s resources in the arts, culture and entertainment


    so-called ‘creative industries’ are at least important as its
    physical resources and sport facilities in attracting tourists.

    11
    12
    Relationship Between Climate And Tourism:

    • People in tourist activities directly contact with the


    atmosphere, and tourist activities are influenced by
    climate. Pleasant climate conditions may attract tourists
    and urge tourist industry making progress; but
    unpleasant climate conditions can block the
    development of tourist industry. Climate, as a natural
    element, takes part in building tourist landscape
    directly or indirectly.

    13
    How Climate Change Impact To Tourism:

    • Climate change have a significant impact on global


    tourism. Climate defines the length and quality of the
    tourism season, and it plays a major role in the choice
    of destination and tourist spending.

    • Climate change is a major factor influencing the


    geography of consumption of tourism. The area most
    affected by the 2004 Asian Tsumami have taken some
    time to recover from the blow to their tourism trade.
