Regulation, research and development

In tourism

The roles of government are very important for tourism. They set the policy of their country towards tourism. To regulate the dif­ferent components of the tourist industry is one of their tasks.

Travel is made easier when there are no visa requirements and when the entry formalities are simple. Visa is a travel document that gives permission for a foreigner to enter, or in some cases to leave another country. It is important for tourist promotion to relax the kind of regulation that is usually called "'red tape''.

National policy can also discourage tourism. Any country can­not provide accommodations and catering services or is able to re­strict the length of time a traveller can stay in that country. To re­strict entry some countries have set visa and entrance requirements.

Governments are also involved in day-to-day regulation of tour­ism including various kinds of licensing.

A license to be taken is a document giving permission to carry on a particular kind of activity after paying a fee.

Governments perform the research and analysis that result in sta­tistics on the tourist industry. Research generally means collecting data that can be put into statistical form and the analysis means inter­preting trends from the statistical figures. Research involves travel sta­tistics, tourist expenditures, the purpose of the trip or the tourist's re­actions to his holiday. Deeper research makes it possible to find out why tourists visited a particular resort and what their reactions were. The main aim of another kind of research is to determine the social impact of tourism on an area. It is necessary for governments to be engaged in promoting a flow of tourism. In many countries, tourism is so important that its interests are represented at the ministerial level of government. To promote tourism counties or regions, relax some regulations. The location and density of new developments to be reg­ulated affects spreading the economic benefits more widely.

Where government investment in tourism is not direct, there must be an indirect investment in the form of building or improving the infrastructure. The infrastructure consists of those things that are necessary before development can take place — roads, electrici­ty, telephone service, airports, and water supply. The facilities to be based on the infrastructure are often called the superstructure.

Before a government undertakes tourist development, it usually attempts to determine the market potential — the number or per­centage of travellers it can hope to attract. This is followed by stud­ies of the social impact and very often of the environmental impact.

The research is followed by the actual planning and development that include improvement of the infrastructure, financial arrange­ments and construction of the superstructure. The tendency at the present time is in favour of careful research and planning instead of unrestricted growth and expansion.
