International Tourism Paper

International Tourism Paper Order Description The semester project is to investigate tourism in a country of your choice (chose any country, excluding the US and Canada). You must focus on a country and not a particular city or region. The purpose of the paper is to explore tourism as an industry in the country. It is not meant to be a travel guide, but a more in depth look at various aspects of tourism. The paper is divided into two sections. In Section One give an overview of the country and how each topic is related to tourism. In Section Two provide information and analysis about tourism specific issues in the country. Both sections are important and related to one another but you will likely spend more time on Section Two as this requires more detailed research, a critical approach to the information you find as well as integration of many things we talked about throughout the semester. You may work on the paper by yourself or in groups up to 3 students maximum. So “groups” of 1, 2 or 3 students maximum. Section One • Overview of the country - You must link each section back to tourism today in your selected country, this is the most important part!
