[Music] [Music] [Music] hello again class and i would like to welcome everyone in our part two of lesson one which is entitled the meaning importance and history of tourism in the stream and the first topic that we need to deal in part two is the nature of a tour and nature of a tour is subdivided into two types the first one is according to the destination for the first one we have two subtypes which is the domestic and international travel for us to differentiate the two when we talk about domestic travel we are looking for destinations inbound or in the national sense or in the specific country itself unlike for international tours or international tourism we will be dealing here with travels abroad or outbound the only difference between the two is in domestic it is easier to travel because we will not be needing any um documents at the same time there are no barriers to compel unlike for the international travel that we have three barriers to consider and the very first bar to consider is the different languages so since we are traveling outbound we will be expecting that their language is very different from our language itself so it is very important to have an idea of the language that they are using as well specifically those basic terms like on how to greet like in japan they are greeting good morning by ohio saimas or they want to say hello in japanese we call it konichiwa and some other languages depending on the country where we will be traveling the next one is the different currencies since we are traveling from outbound we have to convert our money into their specific currency and this will be having specific values at the same time very different from what we have in the national point of view and of course lastly we will also be dealing with the documentation requirements that would include the passports visa of course tickets for both domestic and international travel so those are the barriers to consider secondly is according to the type of a tour and the first one is the package tour or the inclusive tour wherein it is arranged by a travel agency under which we have two different types the very first one is it is actually done by the tour operator and the other one is done by what we call travel agents of course travel agents are direct sellers of tour packages coming from the packages done by the tour operators so at first hand the tourist would have to go to the travel agency in order for him or her to book his or her tour then the travel agency would have to consult it with a tour operator if these tours are possible and what are the inclusions at the same time secondly is what we call the independent tour and from the word independent tour we are arranging it by our own so most likely we are considered to be travelers or backpackers or we consider our diy tours there are two subtypes under which we have the independent inclusive tour wherein you are traveling by yourself compared to the group inclusive tour you are traveling with a group but at the same time you arrange it by yourself since it is called a do-it-yourself tour or a diy tours the next topic that we need to deal with are tourist products and when we talk about tourist products these are considered to be intangible products intangible meaning it cannot be perceived by the senses easily and like for manufactured products that we are dealing with products which are tangible and it can be perceived by the census easily it is actually what the tourist buys in a specific destination like for example the sceneries the historical monument the tour packages the services rendered by the airline industry the service is rendered by the food establishment at the same time the food itself which is considered to be tangible and of course the services rendered by the hotels we're in we can buy different types of rooms based on what we want there are different characteristics of a tourist product and the very first characteristic talks about a tourist product which is a service since i have said that a tourist product is mostly intangible we are pertaining to services that's what they sell and examples were given a while back the second one is psychological in its attraction it is because we tend to um appreciate what we have in the tourism industry like for example products that we buy such as the culture of the people that we experience in a specific place their customs their traditions their beliefs at the same time what are the norms of this people from this specific destination the third one is what we call variety of standard and quality over time this means that the product that we are buying are not consistent not consistent in the sense that for example we are buying the same tour package going to boracay one tourist would have to buy it on a summer season and another tourist would have to buy it on a rainy season so the difference will be the attraction is enjoyed more and much by the tourists who availed during the summer season because there are no traces of rain at the same time there are no traces of typhoons unlike for the ones who bought it on a rainy season there are traces of typhoons and rains at the same time they cannot enjoy as much as they can because of the weather disturbances the fourth one is what we call the supply of the product is fixed that only means that the products are only availed on a specific attraction or place or destination itself at the same time we cannot bring home the product after buying it because we are only buying the experience so it only boils down to what we call characteristics as a service we're in only the experience and at the same time the services are what we are buying and not the specific place of destination itself other than a tourist product we also need to discuss what we call tourist destinations as products bought by the tourists in the tourism industry so tourist destinations are actually geographical units where the tourist visits and stays at the same time so there are actually differences between what we call tourist destination and a tourist spot when we talk about a tourist destination this is actually the main place that we consider like for example the province itself or the town itself and when we talk about the tourist spots we are pertaining to the specific places in the town or in the provinces where in the tourists visits and enjoy the recreational activities for example in cebu since cebu is considered to be a tourist destination we can find several tourist spots like for example if you wanted to explore downtown cebu then you can go to the taoist temple other than that in cebu they offer the badian canyoneering in badian cebu south of cebu they have also what we call oslob whale watching in oslo cebu so these are specific examples of tourist spots another example is palawan since palawan is considered to be a tourist destination the spots that we could consider in this specific place are the first one is koron palawan we also have el nido palawan and we also have palawan which is found in the southernmost part of the palawan province and the palawan islands at the same time so this tourist destinations also considers three basic factors and the very first factor is it is an attraction since it is an attraction it can refer to a site attraction or an event attraction a site attraction can be subdivided into two as well and we have the man-made attractions and we also have the natural attractions natural attractions are talking about the natural resources natural landscapes natural forms of lands bodies of water like for example beaches mountains for for of to be specific we have mount apple other than that we also have um man-made which are considered to be typically man-made in the sense that we are considering um structures like for example churches in iloilo we have the model church if we talk destinations in the locality we also have bahrain other than that we also have the um bell tower in burgos what what they call as the cape bojador okay so these are man-made compared to the natural attractions other than site attractions we also have event attractions where in event attractions are considered to be hallmark events or festivals like for example we have the sinulog festival in cebu we have the nagyang festival in iloilo we have the panagbenga festival in baguio and other festivals to be included under event attractions the second basic factor is what we call amenities and when we talk about amenities these are considering the offers of the hotel which the tourists can enjoy for example in a hotel since they offer a room and this room would have its facility which we call bathroom under which for the amenities that they offer other than that they have spa they have pool they have um restaurants the lobby itself and other examples of amenities that they can avail the third one is what we call accessibility and when we talk about accessibility this are the means and ways on how to reach the specific destination like for example are they are there transportations allowed to enter in the specific destination or are there transportations which can reach the destination itself when we go to a specific place or tourist destination or maybe a tourist spot as well so those are the three basic factors under the tourist destinations what are the differences between the products that we offer in terms of tangible and intangible at the same time tourist destinations in the tourism industry now we will be discussing the characteristics of tourism and we have enlisted seven of them the very first one is what we call the product is not brought to the tourist rather the tourists are going to the specific destination in order for us to enjoy the product this is very typical at the same time very obvious because unlike manufactured products we cannot bring these products into the market where the tourists can buy it uh other than that or rather we are going to the specific destination and us as tourists will have to avail the product in a specific destination of course if you want to go to boracay for example you cannot say that please deliver boracay at my doorstep that would not be possible and you as the tourists would have to go to the destination in order for you to enjoy the tour at the same time the recreational activities offered in boracay the second one is what we call the products are not used up okay again we differentiate it from the manufacturing products for manufactured products we are using this raw materials in order to produce the products since raw materials are exhausted and limited if the supply of the raw material is already used up then there will be no production of the product anymore unlike in the production of a tourist destination for instance the tourist destination is just there so even if it is consumed by many tourists it is not actually used up or it is still there and ready for new tourists to explore the third one is tourism is considered to be labor intensive industry and when we talk of tourism as a labor intensive industry we tend to come up with much of the labor since we are dealing with services as our products for example if a hotel is being built we will be needing labor so as to engineers architects construction workers at the same time and after the hotel was already built it doesn't stop there so man power pulling is still continuing because in order for this hotel to operate we will be still needing employees and these are the chefs the room attendant the managers and so on and so forth who will operate the hotel itself the next one is tourism is people oriented of course because since we are providing much of the services rather than tangible products we will be needing people or what we call service providers in order for us to execute the products okay and the next one is tourism is a multi-dimensional phenomenon therefore there are happenings events at the same time that happens or that occurs in the tourism industry because we are considering the elements of dynamic and static as we have said in the first part of the video we're in when we talk about dynamic it pertains about the journey of the tourist while for static it pertains about the stay at the same time the enjoyment of the recreational activities of this tourist the next one is the tourism industry is seasonal in the tourism industry we consider peak and lindsey sun peak season is the high sales season while in season is considered to be the low sales season we're in during peak season tourists are meeting the specific height we're in the demand is high but the supply is actually low this seasons are considered to be the sunny seasons or summer seasons of the year in the philippines that we can enjoy these tourist spots unlike for the lindsay sun these are the seasons where in people tend not to go for travel because of weather disturbances and because of this profit is low at the same time the supply is high demand is low therefore products to be sold are considered to be low as well so therefore during peak season in order to cope up the expenses at the same time the profit that should be gained during the lin season they tend to double up or triple up the prices like for example a hotel which is sold on a lean system at 500 pesos we can sell it up to 1500 because it jogs up since the supply is low and the demand is higher and the last one is the industry is actually dynamic dynamic in the sense that it is changing because the tourists do have their own interest and this interests are actually changing the best example for this is us since we tend to look for something new in a specific product that we are availing we tend to consider also if we are the tourism industry we tend to consider also what are the changes that could be done in order for us to cope up and come up with examples of products which are innovative at the same time creative for the tourists to be interested in a specific product so those are the seven characteristics of tourism [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] so thank you for listening again for our part two of our lesson two we hope that in the video conferencing we'll be giving more ideas about the topics that has been discussed in this video presentation and happy learning everyone thank you for watching
