- A.
Tourist arrivals drop
- B.
Negative media publicity
- C.
Lack of publicity
- D.

Correct Answer
A. Tourist arrivals dropExplanation
Political violence can have a significant impact on tourist arrivals. When a destination experiences political violence, it creates a sense of instability and insecurity among potential tourists. This leads to a decrease in tourist arrivals as people prefer to avoid visiting places that are perceived as unsafe. Additionally, negative media publicity surrounding the political violence further discourages tourists from visiting the destination. The lack of publicity and the negative destination image created by political violence contribute to the drop in tourist arrivals.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Lack of planningExplanation
The negative impact on the environment with tourism development can be attributed to the lack of planning. Without proper planning, there is no consideration for sustainable practices, conservation efforts, or minimizing the ecological footprint. This can lead to the destruction of natural habitats, pollution of water bodies, and depletion of resources. Additionally, inadequate planning may result in overcrowding and strain on local infrastructure, leading to further environmental degradation. Therefore, lack of planning is a significant factor contributing to the negative impact of tourism development on the environment.Rate this question:

B. Unequal distribution of goods and servicesExplanation
Unplanned tourism can lead to an unequal distribution of goods and services. When tourism is not properly managed, certain areas or communities may receive more benefits and resources than others. This can create a disparity in the availability of goods and services, with some areas experiencing an oversupply while others are left with limited access. This imbalance can further exacerbate social and economic inequalities within a destination, leading to discontentment and dissatisfaction among local communities.Rate this question:

These peak seasons are often determined by factors such as weather, school holidays, festivals, and events. During these times, popular tourist destinations tend to be crowded, prices for flights and accommodations may be higher, and it may be more challenging to secure bookings. Understanding seasonality in tourism is crucial for businesses in the industry to effectively plan and manage their resources and offerings.Rate this question:
