War and recession produce flat year

Article Abstract:

The effect of economic recession and the 1991 Persian Gulf War on the travel industry was the focus of the 6th Annual Travel Review Conference of the Travel and Tourism Research Administration on Feb 5, 1992. Participants predicted a slow growth for the industry following a recession that saw real income fall for the first time since 1974. US travel volume remained stable and vacation travel increased slightly. However, business travel continued to decrease following an 8% drop in 1990. US inbound travel increased and was expected to hit 42.1 million visitors. Lodging establishments, transportation, tour operators and travel agencies continued to decline.

Life cycle models for Pacific island destinations

Article Abstract:

Pacific islands have different qualities which determine their life-cycles as travel destinations. The islands of Hawaii, Guam and Northern Marianas developed a substantial tourist industry due largely to their proximity to tourist generating areas. Simulated life-cyles of destinations can help other Pacific islands formulate effective plans to develop as a tourist area. The types of changes which can be planned through life-cycle models include adapting existing facilities to actual visitor rate and introducing innovative facilities which would redefine the island's tourist attractions.

Emerging markets for China's tourism industry

Article Abstract:

China suffered a downturn in its international tourism industry after foreign travelers decided to stay away following the Tiananmen Square incident in Beijing in Jun 1989. However, Taiwan and the USSR have been shown as growth markets for China's tourism industry. For Taiwanese tourists, relaxed government restrictions, economy of travel, diversity of tourist attractions and a shared heritage have encouraged more travel to mainland China. The Soviet Union's improved relations with China, on the other hand, has been largely responsible for its tourists to increase travel to China.
