Step 5 Developing reading skills
Task 1. Read and translate the text ‘Basic Definitions in Tourism’
The World Tourism Organization distinguishes between three basic forms of tourism:
domestic tourism, involving residents of the given country travelling only within the country;
inbound tourism, involving non-residents travelling in another country;
outbound tourism, involving residents travelling in another country. International tourism consists of inbound and outbound tourism.
Tourism expenditure can be defined as ‘the total consumption expenditure made by a visitor or on behalf of a visitor for and during his/her trip and stay at destination.’
International tourism expenditure is defined as expenditure of outbound visitors in other countries including their payments to foreign carriers for international transport.
Basic definitions of tourism were established at the United Nations Conference on Tourism and International Travel, Rome (1963) and by the United Nations Commission on Statistics (April, 1968).
These definitions were revised and updated at the World Tourism Organization (WTO) conference in Ottawa in June 1991 and certain recommendations were formulated.
These have been adopted by most countries. The WTO has published these recommendations in its report ‘Recommendations on Tourism Statistics.’
The WTO’s definition of the traveller moves away from the concept of the ‘visitor’ and distinguishes between the ‘tourist’ and the ‘excursionist.’ In fact, travellers can be categorised in four ways:
Domestic visitors;
International visitors;
International tourists;
Excursionists.
