5. Tourism and the multiplier effect in an LIC.
Copy the diagram above, leaving space so that you can write in the blank boxes. Fill in the boxes so that they are in a logical order to show the multiplier effect of tourism in an LIC. Use terms from the following list to fill in the boxes: • Overseas visitors attracted. (HINT – top box) • Growth of construction industry, hotels and roads. • Extra food needed. • Local people have more money to spend on goods such as clothes. • Jobs created, e.g. waiters, guides, drivers. • Taxes on economic activities go to pay for roads, airports, hotels and restaurants. Label your diagram ‘Tourism and the multiplier effect in an LIC’.

8. Key term: leakage
When money from tourism is lost as it is sent back to the country that owns the hotel.

9. Negative economic effects
1) Think of four world events (or events in the destination country) that might cause fewer tourists to visit, resulting in the multiplier effect breaking down. Try and think of actual examples of these events. 2) What issues arise from the fact that international tourism is controlled by very large companies?

13. Choose one of the following tourist destinations:

Draw a spider-gram to show all the possible environmental impacts that tourists might have on your chosen destination.
