  1. Conceptual Framework of Tourism - AritroDasgupta

  2. Tourism Impacts- Conceptualization • Dynamic: No. of people traveling to a destination • Static: No. of people staying at a destination • Consequential: A combination of dynamic & static where economic, physical & social subsystems come directly or indirectly in contact with the tourist

  3. Flow of Impacts • Impacts result from processes of change • Not a point event but a continuous process • Not necessarily immediate consequences but part of broader process of change which are unexpected & difficult to predict • Changes may also be due to external uncontrollable factors like wars, natural disasters, political /economic causes etc.

  4. Flow of Impacts • Expenditure of time & money being discretionary, there are variations depending on individuals’ choice • Thus market gets fragmented

  5. Dynamic Element

  6. Components of Dynamic Element • Demand: the actual requirement or willingness to embark upon tourism activities • Influencers of demand: factors which influence the requirement & willingness

  7. Tourism Demand • Actual Demand: the present, existing list of travelers • Potential Demand: motivated to do so but unable to because of financial or other practical constraints • Deferred Demand: will travel if motivated at a later date, but presently lack of awareness or knowledge of opportunities

  8. Influencers of Tourism Demand • Changes in disposable income • Stress levels • Mobility • Level of Education • Growing Intermediaries

  9. Influencers of Tourism Demand • Development of new tools • Coordination within tourist industry • Stimulation of demand by converting potential & deferred demand to actual

  10. Static Element

  11. Components of Static Element • Carrying Capacity • Economic Capacity

  12. Carrying Capacity • It is the maximum number of people who can use a site without an unacceptable alteration in the physical environment • No unacceptable decline in quality of experience for visitors • Limit beyond whose threshold, any change induced by tourist activity is primarily negative

  13. Components of Carrying Capacity • Physical: physical damage done to area beyond which recovery is improbable • Social: irrevocable damage done to society’s culture through spread of social contamination like usage of drugs, alcoholism etc.

  14. Economic Capacity • Space available for various tourism related infrastructure development • Total capital available on land in given area for economic development
