Tourism - Influences

Factors influencing the functioning of tourist operations:

- Economic factors: Type of enterprise, competitive advantage, consumer demand, mobility of labour and capital
- Locational factors: site, soils, topographical and drainage requirements, climatic considerations, altitude, aspect, gradient, wind, special requirements for type of activity/enterprise
- Ecological factors: ecological sustainability, resource use
- Climatic factors: Temperature, precipitation, drainage, wind, sunlight, etc.
- Technological factors: Modern transport, information communication,
- Political factors: Quotas, tariffs, agreements, government concessions.
- Sociocultural factors: Lifestyle patterns, social organization, tradition, changing lifestyles, labour participation rates, 
- Organisational factors: Global structure of activity, ownership, control, decision-making, management style, etc.  

All of these will affect changes locally and globally.
