1. Name the five major tourism supply components. Explain each and give examples.
Answer:
Natural Resources - The natural resources of a destination area provide an excellent asset to sell
to tourists. The appeal can be increased if the area has a "comfortable" climate. The greater the
variety and uniqueness of the scenery, the more appealing it is.
Example: Tall in the Philippines
Geneva in Switzerland
Pagsanjan falls
Infrastructure- refers to all of a region's subterranean and surface development construction,
which includes water systems, communication networks, healthcare facilities, transportation
terminals, power sources, sewage/drainage areas, streets/highways, and security systems.
Examples: Bridges, roads, airports, rail transport
Superstructure – the above ground facility services such as airport buildings, passenger traffic
terminals, hotels, motels, resorts, restaurants, shopping centers, places of entertainment,
museums, stores, and similar structures
Example: is the lobby and floors in a high rise building.
Transportation-Tourism, freight, and resource industries such as forestry and
mining sometimes compete for highways, waterways, and airways.
Example motor vehicles, trailers, aerospace products and parts, railroad rolling stock, and ships
and boats.
Hospitality resources- refer to the general feeling of being welcomed that the visitors receive
while visiting a destination area. It is the way that tourist services are delivered. By service
providers, as well as the general feeling of warmth from the local population. Tourists will have a
more enjoyable vacation if they feel welcomed by the host population and will certainly feel
awkward and unhappy if they fell rejected.
