How does tourism affect circular flow in an economy?
Q. I'm under the impression that an economy that did not previously have an international sector would develop one as a result of tourism. Because aren't tourists considered an import? I just need help understanding how adding tourism to an economy changes the overall circular flow of the economy. Okay, the tourism acting as more of an export than a import makes sense. And arin, I live in Seminole about 10 min from Treasure Island so it was cool that you could bring the concept home for me.

A. Circular flow: Foreign tourists spend money and that money generates higher incomes, which is then spent by individuals on more products and services, meaning more income for businesses, meaning higher incomes, etc. imports? Tourism money acts more like exports than imports, since a country is selling its resources (natural beauty) and services (hotels, restaurants) in return for foreign money.

A. Hi, spa packages are actually getting popular nowadys. Not just the usual spa, people are going more for the holistic and healing spas programs. Key aim of the packages should be targeting relaxation, wellness and health. You did not say where you are located, so I will not be able to offer much. But take a look at how this is done, like in Thailand. There are spas in hotels and packages offered cover the rooms, spa treatment and dietary health advice. This can be a 1-day, 2-day or even 3-day packages. So the guests gets pampered without having to leave the comfort of the hotel or resort room. Standalone spa may be a bit difficult as you can only offer the treatment. Try to have a nearby accommodation tied in for a total package deal. A… [cont.]

Will medical tourism come to the US with the dollar losing value?
Q. I've noticed that the medical tourism industry uses price v quality as a benefit of traveling from US to other countries for plastic surgery, dental procedures, etc. Do you think that now that the dollar is weaker that people will come from other countries to the US - to get a good deal on these procedures. More specifically from Europe where the Euro is strong. Why or why not? I neglected to specify: for elective procedures like cosmetic surgery, cosmetic dentistry. Not life saving medical procedures...

A. Advantage: 1. Provide much need revenue for the Massai people to aide in development projects. 2. Cultural exchange for tourist. Disadvantage: 1. Potential for dependency on tourism, thus suffering when tourist numbers are low. 2. Over time, tourism can alter the behavior of native populations, creating a society of beggars.

A. Advantage: 1. Provide much need revenue for the Massai people to aide in development projects. 2. Cultural exchange for tourist. Disadvantage: 1. Potential for dependency on tourism, thus suffering when tourist numbers are low. 2. Over time, tourism can alter the behavior of native populations, creating a society of beggars.

What can we do about the threats associated with space tourism and flying cars?
Q. Should space tourism and flying cars have strict regulation? Space tourism is getting much closer. It is also foreseeable that flying cars will become a reality this century. Shouldn't we care about environmental and aesthetic concerns regarding this? We should never be too quick to act when it comes to embracing new technology. If we do embrace it too quickly, I envision a world filled with space pollution and eye soars that we can never escape. Imagine going to your favorite nature getaway and having cars flying above you. Imagine environmental air concerns expanding beyond our atmosphere into outer space. Or looking up to the sky and barely being able to see the stars because of all the manmade objects in the air. It's a scary… [cont.]

A. Don't say this will never happen because it can and most likely will. Probably within these next two centuries. We're driving earth to it's death right now. People don'tu nderstand that this will effect their life, maybe not soon but it will. And it will effect our grandchildern. All this polution is really taking a toll. Everyone knows it but nobody wants to admit it and do something about it. I think all we can do is protest against this kind of stuff and really try and bring up the topic of polution. A single voice is all it would take to get america involved, we just need to find that voice within us.

Q. It is not fair when Italy, Greece and Malta get all the tourists, while Lebanon gets none. Lebanon has White mountains, pretty beaches,nice climate, food, music&culture. What do you think is drawing people from visiting ? There are barely any actual travel questions here. What do you think we should do to improve tourism ??
