LESSON

Tour guides work in an industry called “tourism”. Tour guides must therefore
understand how the industry works and learn about its basic concepts. They
should be able to define tourism and identify how tourism differs from other forms
of travel.
What is tourism?

People travel to do something which they cannot do if they stayed at home. The
purpose may include work, play, school, religion, relationships, and others that
may satisfy the traveler’s need. For example, you come to school to study. Your
parents go out for work. Your relatives abroad visit your family during holidays.
Sometimes, families go out of town to go shopping and do all sorts of fun things.
However, not all forms of travel are considered as tourism. As discussed in Module
1, tour refers to the activities of people when they go through a place in order to see
and learn about it in person.
According to the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) tourism is:
“the activities of persons traveling to and staying in places outside their usual
environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and other
purposes, except activities remunerated from within the place visited.”
We can dissect the UNWTO definition through the use of the 5-WH questions (who,
what, when, where and why).
5 WH - Questions

The activities that the travelers do when they go to a place, such as

WHAT
sightseeing, swimming, shopping etc.

WHO Persons who travel to and stay in another place.

WHERE The place that the traveler goes to or the destination.

WHEN The length of stay, from a few minutes to one whole year.

WHY The purpose of travel, which excludes paid work and residence.

Note that there is a time limit to tourism activities. If a visitor stays in a particular
destination for more than a year, he/she will no longer be a visitor. If this happens,
the tourist should get a resident visa, or he/she will be considered as an illegal
alien. Also, note that zero minute or no time at all is not considered as tourism. The
travelers must “stay” and do something in the destination; transit or pass-through
is not considered as a tourism activity. Based on this definition, tourism excludes
the travel of people to earn money at the destination, and travel to familiar
environments, such as commuting to work or school.

Generally, tourists tend to stay longer in a place when the distance from the origin
to the destination is longer. Tourists can be classified based on their length of
stay in the destination:
1. Same day visitors (excursionists)
2. Stay for at least one night (tourists)
Excursionists and tourists can be further classified into the following:
1. Day trippers or excursionists
2. Overnight trippers or tourists
a. Weekenders
b. Long haul vacationers
Types of tourists (based on their point of origin)

We can classify tourists according to their point of origin: domestic, outbound, or

inbound.
a. Domestic tourists - refer to residents of a country who travel within their own
country. ex. Resident of Manila going to Boracay
b. Outbound Tourists – residents traveling to another country.
ex. Filipinos going to Singapore

Type of Tourists Country A (Point of View) Country B

 The destination and origin are within
Domestic the same country

Outbound Origin Destination

Inbound Destination Origin

c. Inbound Tourists – refer to non-residents visiting a country other than their

own. ex. Nigerians visiting the Philippines

Forms or tourism (based on tourist’s purpose of travel)

The tourists’ needs are shaped by their purpose of travel and the activities that
they want to do in the destination. These may be one or a combination of the
following:

1. Visiting Friends and Relatives (VFR) – travel whose main purpose is the
strengthening of relationships with friends and relatives. VFR tourists tend
to rely on their friends and family for their travel itinerary.
2. Ecotourism – responsible travel to natural areas that conserve the
environment and improve the well-being of local people.
3. Cultural Tourism – form of tourism that focuses on the culture of a
destination- lifestyle, heritage, arts, industries, and leisure pursuits of the
local population.
4. Sports Tourism – form of tourism that focuses on sports activities as the
main purpose or travel motivator; extreme or adventure tourism can be
considered as a subset of sports tourism.
5. Medical Tourism – traveling to avail of medical treatment, usually for
wellness and/or aesthetic purposes.
6. Philanthropic Tourism – travel undertaken to improve human welfare by
donating goods, money or volunteer hours. Philanthropy pertains to the
altruistic concern for human welfare and advancement usually manifested
by donations of money, goods or time.
7. Space Tourism – travel outside Earth for leisure purposes.
8. MICE (Meetings, incentives, convention & exhibition) – main purpose is to
attend a special event in a particular destination.

There are many other subsets of tourism. The important thing is for tourism
workers to understand their guests’ needs in order to serve them well.

Keep in mind
Tourism workers must also know where tourists come from and to be culturally sensitive.
