The document discusses the determinants of tourism demand and supply. It defines tourism demand as the total number of people who travel away from their place of work or residence. Tourism supply comprises the assets, services, and goods available to visitors, including infrastructure, attractions, and marketing. Tourism demand is influenced by individual factors like income and mobility, economic factors like cost and exchange rates, geographic factors like seasonality and accessibility, and political environments. Tourism supply depends on economic, political, geographical, legal, technological and social factors. It involves transportation, accommodations, attractions and other services that make up the tourism product chain.
