1. More holidays.
All countries in the developing world have increased the number of holidays a person can expect to receive by law. A hundred years ago a person would be lucky to receive one day for a summer holiday - even luckier - to have this as a paid holiday.
Today, as a result of stronger economies, unions and changes in society people can expect to receive a minimum four weeks paid holiday. Inevitably if people have more time then there is a greater chance that they will use some of that time in the tourism industry. There is even more chance that they will go on holiday if they have a higher income.
Increase in paid holidays.
2. A smaller world.
The world is getting smaller!
It now takes just 24 hours to reach countries on the other side of the world. You can now fly to France for £50!
A nationwide motorway network has meant you can drive from one end of the UK to the other in twelve hours. The channel tunnel means that we can be in France in half an hour. Pop to Belgium for the weekend, fly to France for a surf!
Twenty years ago, Cairns (North East Australia) was just a tiny town. Today it is a world famous city. Why? - They built an airport.
The more the transport network develops and the cost of fuel drops (yes drops! Fuel is cheaper today then ever before if you take into account the increase in wages) the greater the chances to go on holiday, the greater the growth in tourism.
3. Development.
Tourists spend money - lots of it! £25 billion in the UK in 1990 and so tourism can be developed by Governments in the developed and developing world to provide employment, earn foreign currency and diversify the economy.
In the UK, most major cities have looked to tourism as a tool of regeneration. In Bristol, £s;98 million has been spent regenerating the harbour-side to provide a range of tourist attractions including a new IMAX cinema and hands-on science museum.
In Zimbabwe, Operation Campfire sells hunting licenses to tourists to control animal populations and uses the profits to build schools and hospitals for the rural population. The growth of tourism in the developing world is a very significant part of the world market.
4. Elderly population.
Half of the world is getting wrinkly! Numbers of retired people in the developed world are higher than ever before. They have cash and are living longer than ever before.
Early retirement, pensions and better health care has meant that the pensioner pound is a very important influence in the growth of tourism and, its not all coach trips to Bognor. AJ Hackett (first person to run a commercial bungee jump operation) lets pensioners jump for free!
As entrepreneurs respond to this large and wealthy population, tourism will continue to grow.
5. Society.
Today's society is changing. After the World Wars people realised there was more to life than work and Blackpool. Many of the men had been stationed overseas and came back with experiences of new places, culture and cuisine. The women had to work in traditionally male jobs and society changed forever. Women working increased family income making foreign holidays more affordable.
People now consider a holiday as an essential not the absolute luxury it used to be. Many put this down to the stresses of modern life!
6. Income.
We earn more than ever before. Prices are comparatively cheaper than ever before. Consequently we have a greater disposable income than ever before. Disposable income is the money left after we have purchased essentials that we can spend on what we like including holidays. Add this to the reduction in air-fares and cheaper package holidays and tourism must increase.
7. Communication.
The communications revolution is the next big thing in tourism. Companies like GO and Last minute.com are already developing the internet as a tool for booking holidays. You can take a walk through your hotel online, check out the views, find out about the nightlife - and all this before you book! It's advertised as faster and cheaper than going down to the high street.
To a significant extent, countries of the developing world have, since 1945, commonly experienced the world-tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union. In economic terms, yet often (and even more strikingly) in social, political, or cultural terms, developing countries have felt the effect of the competition between the world's two primary ideologies-in-conflict since 1945. In some cases, they have even served as intermediary (even surrogate) battlegrounds for those two ideologies, with direct representation and involvement of forces from each present in the developing countries in question.
To estimate the value of $2 billion in 1945 in today's dollars, we can use the Consumer Price Index (CPI) or historical inflation rates. As of 2023, $2 billion in 1945 would be approximately equivalent to around $30 billion to $35 billion today, depending on the specific inflation calculations used. This reflects significant economic changes and inflation over the decades since World War II.
$300.00 in 1945 had the same buying power as $3,986.38 in 2016.
$5 million in 1945 would be $66 million in 2014.

They have increased imports and exports.
These days, many people travel for work or leisure on a regular basis. Travel and tourism has become an important part of how we live today. The development of the industry as we know it started in Victorian times, when the affluent wanted to experience the spa waters and the sea air. It is now one of the largest industries in the world in terms of employment and income generated. It is also a fun industry, a people industry where the 'work hard, play hard' ethos still exists by salman bacha
