My favourite voyage was when I was ten years old. I toured the whole of Costa Rica. From the lush jungle to the sandy transparent-water beaches. I discovered the most wonderful places of the country, such as the luxuriant Tortuguero thermal waters or the exquisiteness of witnessing a one and a half metre turtle lay eggs. However, due to my littleness I do not remember all aspects of this paradise, but there is one sentence that really stuck to my mind: To travel is the greatest pleasure of life, a country without tourism, is a dead country.
Now that I am older and have the possibility to research and study the topic that I have always been interested in, this phrase flashed into my head and I wondered, to what extent is it true? Is tourism really beneficial for countries?
Tourism, strictly speaking, `is travel for recreation, leisure, religious, family or business purposes, usually for a limited duration.’
If tourism greatly increases there would be numerous ways a country would benefit of this. The rise in tourists would mean that there would have to be more people to fulfil the tourists needs, therefore this will give many more job opportunities in the existing businesses,

This is why a country has to invest in money and make jobs in every sector (primary, secondary and tertiary) and various areas within these sectors, and therefore if one of them fails or declines the people in the country can withstand this fall leaning in the
When the stock market crashed many were unable to pay their debts not only to their stock purchases but also to their banks. Without payments to the loans given out, banks began to fail. Additionally, the gap between upper and lower classes greatly widened, which only increased the economic issues. On top of everything occurring, a drought developed in the Great Plains that created the “Dust Bowl” and destroyed the agriculture business. The sources of downfall in the Great Depression can be traced to the stock market failure, bank failure, farm failure, and job market failure.
Many countries are in the process of industrializing, such as China, and other countries are in their post industrial era like the United States. When the economy failed in 2008, the entire world was affected. While many of these countries faced hard times after the economic failure, the elites of most still flourished (Priestland, p 232, 233). Any country that was tied to the global market in some way was affected. They were affected because the merchants had created a world economy in which all major world nation participated.
As a result, the weakness of these emerging industries as well as the money placed solely on the automotive and construction industries were not enough to save the economy by the time of the 1929 crash, and lead to America’s Great
Throughout the many years of the United States’ existence, there has been many tragedies due to economic issues. Some of the major issues with the economy occurred throughout the late 19th and early 20th century. Within these years, many labor laws and movements were put into action which changed the economy tremendously. From 1890 to the mid 1940s, our country suffered with a few depressions in which impacted the entire nation’s economy which include the Child Labor Law of 1916, the Great Depression of 1929, the New Deal and the Wagner Act of 1935.
In the 1930s the United States of America dealt with the Great Depression with this cause there's a reason behind the story The timing and severity of the Great Depression varied greatly from country to country. The Great Depression was long and deep in the United States Perhaps unsurprisingly, the worst recession the world economy has ever experienced has a variety of causes. financial panic and misguided government policies will depress U.S. economic output. Although the government was struggling with the Great Depression and created the New Deal programs to support people, ultimately the more significant changes were in the economy unemployment and banks would close and society a huge increase in job losses and homelessness.
He argued that a weak central government would be unable to provide the necessary support for commerce and trade, as well as protect the country's financial and monetary systems. In today's globalized world, the importance of a strong central government to promote economic development has only increased. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for a strong and effective government that can respond quickly to economic challenges and provide the necessary support for businesses and
For example, the stock market’s tumble led to the failure of many thousands of banks in the coming months, this panic led to bank rushes, where people were desperately trying to withdraw all of their savings before the banks were forced to shut down. In turn, these bank rushes caused many more banks to collapse, and the vicious cycle continued. Over 9,000 banks failed by the end of the decade (Kelly). Furthermore, with lack of money in cycle, people began spending less on commercial goods, and the economy suffered as a result. Many banks, much to their customers’ dismay, had invested a good chunk of their money in the stock market, so as Americans rushed to take their money out, they were stunned to learn that much of it wasn’t there.
“Once More to the Lake” by E.B White, and “Summerland” by Peter Jon Lindberg are examples of great traveling experiences “to lose and find ourselves.” In these essays there is not any travel solely for adventure, but mostly for a tradition. They show us that traveling does not really need to be just “about the unfamiliar, the discovered, the passport full of stamps” (Lindberg), but may also be to regret nothing from the trip, even if it was unexpected. In his essay, White addressed his most hidden thoughts and feelings about mortality in a beautiful way, which leads him to lose and find himself. His flashback began the first time White brought his son to the lake in Maine where, after many years since he had come with his father for summer vacation, he became confused by his role.
The government offered no insurance or compensation for the unemployed, so when people stopped earning, they stopped spending. The consumer economy ground to a halt. An
This can be shown in another example from the video “ Is America # One?” where John Stossel talks about Hong Kong and how they have a huge population like India, but unlike India they are actually doing really good in their economy. This is because in Hong Kong it’s really easy for entrepreneurs to start their own businesses since there's hardly any government involvement, unlike in India where the government likes to regulate everything making it basically impossible for people to start their own businesses. Processes to start one's own business may even take up years in India and on the other hand in Hong Kong it only takes a few days. One disadvantage of not having a lot of government involved though is that there's a lot of risks one has to take such as the business not being successful and losing
This leads to more government to make sure things stay sturdy and

1.0 Introduction “Governments should play active roles in managing short-run instability in the economy caused by unemployment and inflation problems. ” I strongly agree with this statement as far as my own country is concerned. Singapore, although a very small island of about 700 square kilometres in the South East Asia, is an international business hub. The population is about 5.7 million as of July 2015 which consists of Chinese, Malays, Indians and other emigrants like Filipinos and Caucasians.
“Tourism is now the largest industry in the world by virtually an economic measure, including gross output, value added, employment, capital investment and tax contributions. ”(Wheatcroft,1994).Tourists can be defined as people who travel to and stay in places outside their usual surroundings for more than twenty-four hours and not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and other purposes by the World Tourism Organization.
