tourism in a green economy.

Last Thursday, our class have to answer some quiz about sector in tourism industry. After that, Miss Ean Na give us assignment that we need to make in the group which is prepare a presentation on the selected title. The three of us are, me, Fatehah and Nad have chosen topic 1 which is explain the concept of tourism in a green economy and discuss challenges for tourism in a green economy.

Next. Miss Ean Na also give us same assignment but we need to in group blog which consists me, Nad, Fatin and Izzani. But, this group will do topic 1 until topic 4 for the first week. We divide the topic by selecting one topic per person. I choose the first topic for the first week.

1. Explain the concept of tourism in a green economy.

2. Discuss challenges for tourism in a green economy.
    a. Energy and greenhouse gas(GHG) emissions
       Tourism is a significant contributor of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at the global scale. The         growth of energy consumption in :

      b. Water consumption 

• The figure excludes domestic tourism as well as indirect water consumption
• for example for the construction of tourist infrastructure or the production of food. It also excludes water used for fuel and electricity generation, which may be more important in terms of overall water use than direct water use at the destination

      c. Waste management

• Waste management is another increasing and well recognized challenge in the industry. Every international tourist in Europe generates at least 1 kg of solid waste per day, and up to 2 kg/person/day. Based on various sources, UNEP estimates that 692.5 million international tourists are likely to have generated no less than 4.8 million t of solid waste. 
• Tourism also affects water quality indirectly. For instance, the over-use of water can lead to saltwater intrusion, land subsidence, and deteriorating groundwater quality. Impacts such as these, will be exacerbated in many coastal areas under climate change scenarios.

      d. Loss of biodiversity

• Coral ecosystems have suffered strong negative impacts from the use of coral for construction materials for hotels, over-fishing of reefs to feed tourists, sewage dumping and sedimentation from improperly managed runoff from buildings, parking lots, and golf courses.
• Failure to incorporate biodiversity concerns in destination planning and investment will have detrimental effects on the natural environment, increase conflict with local communities, and lead to reduced value creation potential for both the destination and investors. 

     e. Effective management of cultural heritage 

• examples of communities overrun by large numbers of visitors, commercialization of traditions, and threats to cultural survival from unplanned and unmanaged tourism. 
• Tourism destinations are occasionally built by outsiders in areas that indigenous or traditional communities consider to be theirs, and where the development was neither desired nor locally validated. 
• Frequently, the cultural issues overlap and are aggravated by environmental issues such as access to water, coastal resources, and wildlife.
• with the growth in ecotourism and alternative travel, tourism impacts on vulnerable cultures has begun to be taken seriously by the tourism industry, governments, non-governmental organizations, and the cultural groups involved.

Tourism :)

What Is Tourism?

Tourism is a social, cultural and economic phenomenon which entails the movement of people to countries or places outside their usual environment for personal or business/professional purposes. These people are called visitors (which may be either tourists or excursionists; residents or non-residents) and tourism has to do with their activities, some of which imply tourism expenditure .

The tourism-related groupings created using North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) are:

1. Accommodation
2. Food and beverage services (commonly known as “F & B”)
3. Recreation and entertainment
4. Transportation
5. Travel services

The Hospitality Industry

When looking at tourism it’s important to consider the term hospitality. Some define hospitality as “the business of helping people to feel welcome and relaxed and to enjoy themselves”. Simply put, the hospitality industry is the combination of the accommodation and food and beverage groupings, collectively making up the largest segment of the industry.

Origins of Tourism

Travel for leisure purposes has evolved from an experience reserved for very few people into something enjoyed by many. Historically, the ability to travel was reserved for royalty and the upper classes. From ancient Roman times through to the 17th century, young men of high standing were encouraged to travel through Europe on a “grand tour".  Through the Middle Ages, many societies encouraged the practice of religious pilgrimage, as reflected in Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales and other literature.

The word hospitality predates the use of the word tourism, and first appeared in the 14th century. It is derived from the Latin hospes, which encompasses the words guest, host, and foreigner. The word tourist appeared in print much later, in 1772 (Griffiths and Griffiths, 1772). William Theobald suggests that the word tour comes from Greek and Latin words for circleand turn, and that tourism and tourist represent the activities of circling away from home, and then returning (Theobald, 1998).

Environmental Impacts

Tourism relies on, and greatly impacts, the natural environment in which it operates. Even though many areas of the world are conserved in the form of parks and protected areas, tourism development can have severe negative impacts. According to UNEP, these can include:

• Depletion of natural resources (water, forests, etc.)
• Pollution (air pollution, noise, sewage, waste and littering)
• Physical impacts (construction activities, marina development, trampling, loss of biodiversity)

Sectors of Hospitality Industry !

Hi guys, we are backkk. Today, we going to learn more about sectors in hospitality industry. As we know, tourism has a great potential in hospitality industry where a place without tourism can be called as a downgraded country. Why? Tourist from all over the world will travel just get the services that provided by the hospitality industry in their favorite places and will increase economy's profit. Now, lets look at sectors of hospitality industry :)

FOOD AND BEVERAGE

First and foremost, food and beverage. In hospitality, food and beverage is the largest element of the hospitality industry. It conclude of high-end restaurants, fast-food eateries, catering establishments and many other manifestations. The food and beverage trade can symbiotically function as part of other businesses, such as in bowling alleys or movie theaters.

ACCOMONDATION

Hotels, bed and breakfast enterprises and other places offering lodging represent a broad segment of the hospitality industry. The business should focus on providing lodging should integrate comfort, efficiency and attentive customer service as its foundation. When they feel appreciated and catered to, your guests will tell others about their experience and may become repeat customer.

TRAVEL AND TOURISM

Lastly, a chief segment of the hospitality business is transportation such as airlines, trains and cruise. Flight attendants and cruise staff function as food servers and hoteliers in their efforts to provide food or drink and a comfortable experience. Business travelers and vacationers alike form the basis for this area of hospitality. Destinations such as amusement parks draw thousands of people, all of whom want to benefit from great customer service while enjoying a memorable adventure.

By having sectors of hospitality industry, tourism potential in economy will increase. That's it <3

NadiahKarim’ Carrier

This is the sketch of my carrier after the Dip of Tourism Management. Now, I am a kayakers, I need to focus on my carrier of kayak first because SUKMA 2020 is around the corner, after the SUKMA later, i can think about the next carrier of mine, but this is the imagine of my life and i will try hard to get what i want in my life. 

This is the beginning, of anything I WANT!

Everyone has the dreams they sketch and the dream they want to come true in the future. Same goes to me where I was started to realise when I was 10 years old that I was very interested in cooking. So I started my efforts to achieve that dream. Politeknik Ibrahim Sultan is a place of study that I sit in to obtain a diploma in the course of tourism does not look like my way in cooking right?

I know that everyone must be asking why it goes like that. It is because when I was studying in matriculation, I has met a counselor because it was a difficult decision whether to stay in matriculation or to take advantage in a polytechnic with course tourism. But the counselor was said after graduate in diploma, continue with degree in culinary. So when i applying a job it will be more easy to get because of having two knowledge that is related and the company will think twice if they want to fired me maybe.

After that, my plan was i will find a job that is suit with me according to what i have learned before. I will work as a chef in a exclusive hotel and maybe become a chef manager after 3 years who knows. I was hoping that I will look like person in the image. After crossing the target, I will try to open my own hotel which can increase the economy of this country.

MY DREAM HOTEL

LOOK LIKE THIS!!

I may marry after my finances are stable and I'm ready hehehe. After married i will start my new own business which will make me more relax and has time to spend with my family. I was plan to open my own bakery shop and be a big boss😁.

This was how my career opportunity looks like.

         Back then, I always wanted to travel alone by myself. There are many places inside or outside of the country that I would like to travel. There are many reasons to travel alone, from not having to coordinate with others schedules to getting to spend time doing only what interests you most. Plus, lots of activities that can make for exploring alone.  There are 3 places outside the country that I always wanted travel.

The first one is at Cayman Islands. Known for its friendly locals and outstanding cuisine, the latter of which has led many to call this island the capital of the Caribbean, Grand Cayman. The Cayman Islands has a tropical wet and dry climate, with a wet season from May to October, and a dry season that runs from November to April. Seasonally, there is little temperature change. This islands offer scuba diving and Cayman Islands is home to several snorkelling locations where tourists can swim with stingrays. The most popular area to do this is Stingray City, Grand Cayman. The stingrays started to associate the sound of the boat motors with food, and thus visit this area year round. Another attraction to visit on Grand Cayman is the Observation Tower, located in Camana Bay. The Observation Tower is 75 feet tall and provides 360-degree views across Seven Mile Beach, George Town, the North Sound, and beyond. It is free to the public and climbing the tower has become a popular thing to do in the Cayman Islands

Second place is located at Rome. Rome is capital city of Italy.  It is the fourth-most populous city in the European Union by population. It is the centre of the Metropolitan City of Rome. Rome is one of the most important tourist destinations of the world, due to an archaeological and artistic treasures, as well as for the charm of its unique traditions, the beauty of its panoramic views, and the majesty of its magnificent parks. Rome became a major artistic centre with forms of important Roman art such as architecture, painting, sculpture and mosaic work. Rome is a major archaeological hub, and one of the world's main centres of archaeological research. There are numerous cultural and research institutes located in the city.

Lastly, the place that I really wanted to travel is located in Austin, Texas. Austin is the capital of the U.S. state of Texas. It's easy to get around Austin, whether you're driving, riding the bus or MetroRail, renting a bike or hiring a pedicab. This relaxed Texas city, known for its superb music scene and creative atmosphere, is a safe and exciting getaway for solo travelers. Visit one of 250-plus live music venues, have a drink on happening Sixth Street or walk or jog along the Ladybird Lake Hike & Bike Trail. If you have a car, drive outside the city to Texas Hill Country, which boasts historic towns and more than 20 vineyards.

Career opportunity after graduate

Last week, our lecturer, Miss Ean Na, gave us an assignment about career opportunity in tourism and hospitality industry. We choose a job that we aspire to be someday.

I chose to finish my studies after graduation and had a diploma in tourism management, I wanted to be a tourist guide for a year in a travel company. This is because I want to feel like traveling to the world and bringing travelers to travel. Other than that, I would like to see their own way of life abroad.

After a year working as a tour guide, I would like to continue studying undergraduate degree in tourism management for 4 years. After getting excellent results and graduating, I aspire to be a manager in a travel company. This is because, if we want to get a high position, we need a graduate in a bachelor's degree

After I became my manager and financially stable, I would like to choose to get married with my future husband. After that, be happy family with husband and children.

My career as a travel company manager will continue to be implemented. but need to divide time into families and work
