Fill in the blanks with proper words to complete the following statements.(1) spatial (2) temporarily (3) entitlement (4) terms (5) components3. Questions for discussion.(1) One of the major reasons for tourist flows is that the destination area contains a surplus ofa commodity (ex. tourist attraction) and the generating area has a deficit, or demand forthat commodity.(2) Because it helps decide what forms of tourism is developed (focusing particularly uponprovision of infrastructure); how tourism is developed? (addressing not the rate and character of tourism); also it helps the destinations to know about their motives and impacts on the host areas.(3) Measurement of tourist flows can be divided into three main types:1) Statistics of volume gives the number of tourists leaving an area or visiting a destination in a given period of time.2) Tourist characteristics measure the quality of tourist flows, including information on types of tourists and their behavior.3) Expenditure statistics as tourist flows have important economic significance for the destination, the generating region, and the transport carriers.(4) Business travellers are pushed and pulled to travel to the destinations as they need to attend to their businesses there, as in the case ofshared business ties ; for leisure tourists, the more unique and different the climatic, geographic and ecological features etc., at the destinations are, the greater the pulling force is.(5) Statistics act as a base of hard fact to allow tourism planners and developers to operateeffectively and plan for the future of tourism.
