Tourism industry breadth
The common elements in the tourism industry were obvious during my trip to Vietnam and Cambodia. The facilities and attractions (the hotels we stayed at, the museums, galleries, temples and churches we visited) were part of the product at the destination. Aeroplanes, taxis and trains enabled us to travel to and from our destinations and the many shop owners, hotel attendees and restaurant waiters were the human component of our experience.
Many places in Vietnam and Cambodia can be considered part of the primary tourism industry. This was most obvious at Halong Bay in Vietnam and the Temples in Cambodia, both of which rely completely on tourism for economic survival. The many hotels we stayed at are also part of this primary sector.
There were however, many examples of the secondary tourism industry, such as the banks we visited to withdraw money, the taxis we used for transport, the restaurants we ate at every night and the markets/stalls we bought food from.
