comprehensive view of tourism: it captures “the

nature of tourism.

New concepts are always arriving in tourism, such as
ecotourism, Tourism Satellit Account.
• Third reason is complexity and variety in all aspect of
tourism.
For example, there are thousands of specialized tours
and packages available for travelers today.
Travel and tourism systems
Tourism as process sees the
- tourist as the demand,
- travel industry as the supply,
- attractions as the tourist product
Interrelated process is subject, means, and
objective of tourism.
Gunn in tourism planning (1979), sees “tourism as
a fundamental system” involving five components:
tourist, transportation, attractions, services-
facilities, and information-direction.
• .Leiper(1979) has five basic elements
in his system: tourists, generating
regions, transit routes, destination
regions, and a tourist industry
operating within physical, cultural,
social, economic, political, and
technological environments
