REFERENCES 43

There are three basic forms of tourism: domestic tourism, inboundtourism, and outbound tourism:

- Domestic tourism refers to activities of a visitor within theircountry of residence and outside of their home

- Inbound tourism refers to the activities of a visitor from outside

of country of residence

- Outbound tourism refers to the activities of a resident visitoroutside of their country of residence

Tourism is vital for many countries, due to the income generated

by the consumption of goods and services by tourists, the taxes levied

on businesses in the tourism industry, and the opportunity foremployment and economic advancement by working in the industry Forthese reasons NGOs and government agencies may sometimes promote

a specific region as a tourist destination, and support the development of

a tourism industry in that area

In this assignment, I am going to carry out the topic of

“Tourism”.

PART B: DEVELOPMENT

CHAPTER 1: DEFINITION

 Concepts of tourism

According to Wikipedia, Tourism is travel for pleasure or

business; also the theory and practice of touring, the business ofattracting, accommodating, and entertaining tourists, and the business

of operating tours Tourism may be international, or within thetraveller's country The World Tourism Organization defines tourismmore generally, in terms which go "beyond the common perception oftourism as being limited to holiday activity only", as people

"traveling to and staying in places outside their usual environment fornot more than one consecutive year for leisure and not less than 24hours, business and other purposes"

 Significance of tourism

The tourism industry has become an important source ofincome for many countries The Manila Declaration on WorldTourism of 1980 recognized its importance as "an activity essential tothe life of nations because of its direct effects on the social, cultural,educational, and economic sectors of national societies, and on theirinternational relations."

Tourism brings large amounts of income into a local economy

in the form of payment for goods and services needed by tourists Italso generates opportunities for employment in the service sector ofthe economy associated with tourism

On the flip-side, tourism can degrade people and sourrelationships between host and guest

CHAPTER 2: THE TRANSLATED TEXTS

2.1 The translated texts of the two articles (From English into Vietnamese)

2.1.1 Article 1: Tough times for tourism, but UN travel organization

đoán lưu lượng khách vào dịp lễ sẽ trở lại

Tourism may have been brought

to a near-standstill by COVID-19, but

the industry – which accounts for 10

per cent of global GDP – finds itself

in a unique position to help put the

global economy back on its feet, once

the pandemic has passed

Millions of jobs potentially lost

“COVID-19 has impacted travel

and tourism like no other event before

in history”, said UNWTO

Secretary-General, Zurab Pololikashvili, ahead

of a meeting last Thursday of the

agency’s Global Tourism Crisis

Committee at its Madrid

headquarters

Du lịch có thể đã gần như bế tắcbởi COVID-19, nhưng ngành côngnghiệp này - chiếm 10% GDP toàncầu - thấy mình ở một vị trí độc nhất

Tổng thư ký UNWTO, ZurabPololikashvili, cho biết: “COVID-19

Ủy ban Khủng hoảng Du lịch Toàn

That committee, which brings

together participants from around the

world via video-teleconference, is

tackling such key questions as how

borders will reopen, what mobility

will look like and what tourists will

be seeking when they emerge from so

many weeks of self-isolation at home

Sector well-placed to lead

recovery

But he also emphasized that

tourism – which employs one in 10

workers worldwide, and with a

proven track record for resilience

during the 2008-2009 financial crisis

and the 2003 SARS outbreak - is also

well-placed to lead future recovery

Ông cho biết: “Lĩnh vực của

whole communities and countries to

mid-March

commitments are key to ensuring that

tourism can lead wider economic and

social recovery The UNWTO is thus

calling for financial and political

support for the tourism industry, and

for the sector to be included in wider

recovery plans and actions

“For now, we must be patient

and stand ready”, the UNWTO chief

said “By staying home today, we

can travel tomorrow And travelling

tomorrow will support jobs, celebrate

culture and promote international

friendship and understanding.”

bố vào giữa tháng Ba

Các cam kết chính trị và tàichính là chìa khóa để đảm bảo rằng

du lịch có thể dẫn đến sự phục hồikinh tế và xã hội rộng rãi hơn Do đó,UNWTO đang kêu gọi hỗ trợ tàichính và chính trị cho ngành du lịch

và để ngành này được đưa vào các kếhoạch và hành động phục hồi rộng rãihơn

“Hiện tại, chúng ta phải kiênnhẫn và sẵn sàng”, người đứng đầuUNWTO nói “Hôm nay ở nhà, ngàymai chúng ta có thể đi du lịch Và đi

du lịch vào ngày mai sẽ hỗ trợ việclàm, tôn vinh văn hóa và thúc đẩytình hữu nghị và sự hiểu biết quốc tế

”

According to UNWTO

estimates, global international tourist

arrivals in 2020 could fall by 20 to 30

per cent compared to last year That

translates into a loss of $30-$50

billion in spending by international

visitors

To put that in context, in 2009,

on the back of the global financial

crisis, international tourist arrivals

fell by 4 per cent, while the SARS

pandemic in 2003 led to a decline of

just 0.4 per cent

The Word Travel and Tourism

Council (WTTC), an industry group,

meanwhile says that up to 75 million

tourism-related jobs are at immediate

risk, with the Asia-Pacific region

expected to be most heavily impacted

with up to 49 million jobs at risk
