The Impact of a Terrorist Act to the Inbound Tourism Study Case: How Bali Bombing Affects the Tourism in Bali

The number of trips taken by Britons overseas has declined by 12.6 million, from 69.4 million to 56.8 million between 2007 and 2011, according to the research by Travelodge. This means that 5.9 million holidays and trips have come out of the market altogether when the number of domestic holidays and trips are factored in. This is shy of the government’s stated ambition for domestic trips to replace the number of missing overseas trips, the report says. However, the analysis shows that ‘staycation’ breaks were up by 5.6% as the recession proved that holidays are an essential rather than a luxury. UK city breaks account for 23% of domestic tourism but seaside towns are in decline by 5%. Total tourism revenue was up 12.6% to £40 billion between 2007-2011 against the general economy up 8%. Employment numbers in tourism have bucked the wider trend, thanks to strong growth in 2011 when 120,000 new jobs were created. The UK’s appeal as a tourist destination endured during the double dip, with overall visitor numbers up by 3.1% to 157.4 million, the report shows. Staycations form the backbone of the tourism economy, with domestic trips and holidays increasing by 5.6% to 126.6 million.

As a result of tourism Bali has suffered a lot. In my opinion tourism has plagued Bali and it’s culture. Tourism brings in a lot of money for Indonesia and Bali, but as a result of it the beautiful island is being

In a random sample of 250 tourists in Katatonia, the average age was 41.43 years (s = 15.93 years). This is lower than the average age of 45 years recorded in 1995, and a one-sample t-test shows that this difference in mean age is significant, t(249) = 3.55, p < .001. The 95% confidence interval indicates that since 1995 the average age of tourists has decreased by between 1.59 and 5.56 years.

According to “Terror attacks have cost travel industry $8.2 Billion,” written by Kathleen Burke, acts of terrorism cause the thought process of travelers to change, impacting the places individuals wish to travel further impacting tourist locations subjected to terror attacks. 1. Because of the attacks, and the fear it brought about in travelers, according to Fainstein, around 3,400 hotel workers were laid off as well as a decrease in foreign travelers who were considered a lucrative

Have you ever heard of the 9/11 tourist attack on the twin towers, which were in New York and are now gone because tourists crashed planes in the two towers while killing hundreds of people. Now because of tourism thousands of lives are endangered. But tourism is not just in one spot it is now WORLD WIDE!!! Did you know that 20,487 people died in 2006 because of tourist attacks, 22,719 people died in 2007, 15,708 people died in 2008, 15,310 people died in 2009, 13,186 people died in 2010, 12,533, people died in 2011, 11,098 people died in 2012, 18,066 people died in 2013, 32,727 people died in 2013, and 32,727 people died in 2014 because of tourist

Tourism plays a vital role in economic development in most countries around the world. The industry has not only direct economic impact, but also significant indirect and influential impacts. There is agreement among experts that the travel and tourism sector is the fastest growing of global economy. According to the latest UNWTO World Tourism Barometer, international tourism receipts surpass US$ 1 trillion in 2011, growing about 3.8%up from 2010 (WTO, 2012).

Another aspect of impact of tourism on a country’s economy is that it facilitates the expansion of the market of goods and services. Foreigners come to a country willing to spend money on different goods and services, thus increasing the amounts of sales. This is a great chance for producers and service providers to receive larger profits. This concerns not only hoteliers, tour operators, and souvenir shops owners. Public transportation, retail stores of different kind, restaurants, and cafes benefit from international tourism. Obviously, if these industries are in demand, businesses will be expanding. On the one hand, it means that more money is paid to the budget. On the other hand, profits generated by the owners are spent inside the country, affecting almost all the fields of the

Indonesia is a country of 34 provinces and over 300 ethnic groups. Although this particular country has diverse cultures to present, its tourism has always been focused in Bali. From the 1990s, Bali has always been the major attraction for foreign visitors in Indonesia (Statistics Indonesia). In August 2014, it was found that Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bali has the highest number of international arrivals compared to other provinces in Indonesia (Statistics Indonesia). Little is known about other destinations, such as Borobudur temple in Magelang, Central Java. Borobudur temple is one of the largest Buddhist monuments in the world that was built in the ninth century during Syailendra Dynasty supremacy. This temple has six square platforms with three circular platforms on the top and it owns 504 Buddha statues inside mounds known as stupa. Borobudur was previously recognized as one of world’s seven wonders and it is also acknowledged as UNESCO World Heritage site. However, this valuable cultural heritage barely attracts foreign visitors. Statistics Indonesia revealed that international arrival in the nearest airports to Magelang was far under Bali’s visitors (9,887 arrivals in Surakarta and Jogjakarta and 336,628 arrivals in Bali). Based on this fact, the author proposes that Central Java government should focus on improving Borobudur temple tourism as the way to increase the number of international tourists to Indonesia, which
