yes i did tourism as economic activity.
Nature of tourism: -tourism undergone rapid change since WWII
-improvements in technology brought phenomenon of mass tourism
- tourism largest industry ( provide some statistics, how many $ millions and people travel)
-definision of tourism
- forms of tourism( domestic international)

Spacial patterns:
-technological improvements and increases in living standarts made tourism acceptable to masses.
-tourism growth rates ( europe and n.america has slow tourism growth rates, asia and pacific experience faster rates)
-source countries ( 70% of tourists coming from developed countries)
-role of globalisation


Future of tourism: - tourism is dynamic industry ( changing constantly)
- long term( continue to grow, its is dominant industry)
-short term ( terrorist attacts affected tourism)
-future predictions ( shorter more freq holidays ,ecological sustainalbe development, political stability,role of GO, NGO.)


this is the main points i used for nature, spacial patterns and future directions of tourism.
