In the online lessons, the following ways that governments and political entities can impact tourism for a nation or region were discussed:

• Marketing campaigns
• Government policy
  • Spending on parks, museums, etc.
  • Subsidies for tourism organizations
  • Tourism awareness programs for locals
• Travel VISA policies
• Border security
  • Provide some brief background information on the tourism industry for the country/region that chose.

.....and more

Choose a country or region and research how the government of that country/region has impacted its tourism industry with a brief report.

Some Things to Include:

• Explanation of how the government has impacted the tourism industry for that country/region. Explanations can be limited to the last five years if wished, but should include commentary on the overall impact on the tourism industry (i.e. What was the result of a government's marketing campaign? Did tourism improve? By how much? etc.)
