"The Future" Please respond to the following:

According to the textbook, the populations of the developed Western world will decline in relative size. Predict how this will affect the travel industry in the next five-, 10-, and 20-year intervals. Speculate where those travel dollars will be redistributed and how that will impact the industry as a whole.

Creative and intelligent tourism developments can improve the environment and heighten the appeal of an area. Give examples of how this might happen and identify tourism destinations where this has already taken place.
