Questions
Examine any five attractions of tourists in the world.
What are the factors of tourist attractions?
Solution
- Climate: Most people from colder regions expect warm, sunny weather for beach holidays. This is one of the main reasons for the importance of tourism in Southern Europe and the Mediterranean lands. The Mediterranean climate offers almost consistently higher temperatures than other parts of Europe, long hours of sunshine, and low rainfall throughout the peak holiday season. People taking winter holidays have specific climatic requirements, either higher temperatures than their homelands or snow cover suitable for skiing.
- Landscape: Many people like to spend their holidays in an attractive environment, which often means mountains, lakes, spectacular sea coasts, and landscapes not completely altered by man.
- History and Art: The history and art of an area have potential attractiveness. People visit ancient or picturesque towns and archaeological sites and enjoy exploring castles, palaces, and churches.
- Culture and Economy: These attract tourists with a penchant for experiencing ethnic and local customs. Besides, if a region provides for the needs of tourists cheaply, it is likely to become very popular. Home-stay has become a profitable business, such as heritage homes in Goa, Madikeri and Coorg in Karnataka.
