The working group was covered by the United Nations Statistics Division, with the participation of the Statistical Office of the European Communities, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development and the World Tourism Organization. These three bodies will promote the implementation of the recommendations in their member countries. The recommendations were approved by the Statistical Commission at its thirty-first session, in 2000. 1 The fundamental structure of the tourism satellite account recommendations is based on the general balance existing within an economy between the demand for products generated by tourism and their supply. The idea behind the construction of a tourism satellite account is to analyse in detail all the aspects of demand for goods and services which might be associated with tourism within the economy; to observe the operational interface with the supply of such goods and services within the same economy of reference; and to describe how this supply interacts with other economic activities.

  • The University of Hull the Package Holiday
    THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL THE PACKAGE HOLIDAY; PARTICIPANT, CHOICE AND BEHAVIOUR being a Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in The Department of Geography The University, Hull by Andrew Nicholas Laing, B.Sc. September 1987 GEOGRAPHY 3 0 SEP 19 87 SUMMARY OF THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Andrew N. Laing THE PACKAGE HOLIDAY; PARTICIPANT, CHOICE AND BEHAVIOUR This research provides an explanation of package holidaymaking behaviour based on the analysis of data gathered through 303 interview-administered questionnaires in Hull. Strict statistical links are used hand-in-hand with informal, qualitative information to generate a thorough understanding of key elements in the holiday decision-making process. Three levels of behaviour are examined. General participation separates the package holidaymaking population from non-holidaymakers and independent travellers. Package holiday 'habits' are then examined; repeat purchasing, booking I the holiday party, services, timing and behaviour whilst on holiday. Finally, spatial patterns are analysed according to relative location (travel time, linear distance, and the home/abroad dichotomy) and absolute location (proximity to the coast, and resort qualities). Explanation is largely based on the holidaymaker's characteristics, represented by trad- itional sociodemographic and economic measures, and by a number of life- style factors. The finer investigation of spatial patterns is accompanied by a detailed analysis of destination choice, primarily structured around information sources, place-specificity and the resort characteristics sought after. The destination decision, and its role in overall choice of holiday, acts as a unifying theme throughout the research. Holiday choice emerges as a highly individualistic phenomenon loosely set within a framework of predictive parameters.

  • If You Have Booked a Package Tour (Ie a Combination of at Least Two Travel
    5.3.2020 INFORMATION ON THE PACKAGE TRAVEL DIRECTIVE IN CONNECTION WITH THE COVID-19 If you have booked a package tour (i.e. a combination of at least two travel services, e.g. transport and accommodation) and you have not yet left for your trip, consult the travel advice of your national authorities and contact your tour operator or travel agency. Travel advice is a national competence. Check if your national authority, e.g. the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, issued an official travel warning for the region to which you plan to travel. Travel advice is being updated as the situation changes. The list of EU Member States’ travel advice is available at: https://ec.europa.eu/info/sites/info/files/travel-advice-list.pdf According to the Directive on Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements, both the traveller and the tour operator can cancel the trip without penalty in case of “unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances occurring at the place of destination or its immediate vicinity and significantly affecting the performance of the package, or which significantly affect the carriage of passengers to the destination” (Article 12(2) of the Package Travel Directive). ‘Unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances’ means a situation beyond the control of the party who invokes such a situation and the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken. Significant risks to human health, such as the outbreak of a serious disease like the COVID-19 at the travel destination or its immediate vicinity usually qualify as such unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances.

  • Product Packaging
    HISTORY OF PRODUCT PACKAGE TOURS Since their establishment in the 1960's, package tours and the number of receptive tour operators have steadily grown in importance to all aspects of Canadian tourism. It is commonly perceived as a growth opportunity for both travel volume and type of tour package offered. A number of factors contributed to the popularity of packaged tours but the single largest factor was the airlines participation in creating packages to promote their inventory of seats. This not only widened travel options and destinations but also increased the number of travelers. Package tours have several key advantages for the northern traveler including discounted rates for transportation and accommodation, convenience of one-time payment for all or most travel services, ease of vacation planning, and more travel opportunities. THE PRINCIPLES OF PRODUCT PACKAGE DEVELOPMENT Tourists do not visit Toronto just to stay at the Royal York Hotel or travel to Vancouver to visit the Aquarium. Visitors are attracted for a number of widely diverse reasons: • History • Culture • Scenic Splendor (Spectacular) • Unique and different destination They are drawn to a destination because of what they have seen, read, or heard, about an area's attractions. Today most people learn about a destination through the media: • Newspaper • Magazines • Television • Internet/web Travel patterns evolve from this point and invariably centre on the individual's interest in a particular area but seldom on one specific service element. It is here that the convenience and organized structure of a complete travel program becomes the reason for making the choice of destinations. These arrangements can come in a varied assortment of components known as PACKAGE TOURS.

Over the past two decades, the Dominican Republic has experienced growing debt problems (partly due to the falling price of sugar, the country's main commodity on the world market), unemployment (now estimated at 23%) and high inflation.

  • A Handbook in Package Tour Arrangement
    Liza Hotta A handbook in package tour arrangement Golf tourism Business Economics and Tourism 2014 1(58) ABSTRAKT Författare Liza Hotta Lärdomsprovets titel A Handbook in package tour arrangement År 2014 Språk engelska Sidantal 49 + 1 bilaga Handledare Thomas Sabel Syftet med detta lärdomsprov var att undersöka uppgifterna en researrangör har när resor för större grupper blir planerade. Ändamålet var att samla information om gruppresor och på samma ställe definiera researrangörens skyldigheter för att skapa en handbok åt arrangörerna. Lärdomsprovet är skrivet speciellt för arrangörer av golfresor. Teorier som har använts är bland andra Maslows hierarkitrappa och vilka trender som påverkar golfturismen för tillfället. Andra teorier som varit till hjälp är definitioner av olika slag, till exempel definitionen av en golfturist eller hantering av risker. Den empiriska delen utgjordes av en kvantitativ enkät som skickades ut via internet åt målgruppen golfare i Jakobstad med omnejd. Resultaten av frågeformuläret visade att de svarande uppskattar att researrangören vet vad kunderna vill ha och genom enkäten har arrangören fått svar på vad de svarande anser som viktigt. För att researrangörer skall hålla sig uppdaterade angående trender krävs det att de regelbundet samlar in feedback av sina kunder. Av resultaten kan man också se att de svarande värderar bekvämlighet högt under sina golfresor vilket ger researrangören tydliga riktlinjer hur han eller hon skall planera resor i framtiden. 2(58) ABSTRACT Author Liza Hotta Title Handbook in Package Tour Arrangement Science University VAMK Year 2014 Language English Pages 49 + 1 appendix Name of Supervisor Thomas Sabel The aim of the thesis was to research what it means to be a trip organizer.
