Global Trends in the Tel-Aviv Tourism Sector

  • Chapter
Emerging Nodes in the Global Economy: Frankfurt and Tel Aviv Compared

Part of the book series: The GeoJournal Library ((GEJL,volume 72))

Abstract

Globalization has come to serve as a general term referring to a number of political, sociological, environmental and economic trends. In its purely economic sense, ‘globalization’ refers to the growing interdependence of markets and production in different countries, through trade in goods and services, cross-border capital flows, international technology exchange, strategic alliances, co-operative ventures and mergers. The tourism sector has traditionally served as a catalyst for globalization, as tourism is inherently concerned with international interaction. An early example of the role of tourism as a globalizing agent can be seen in the worldwide activities of Thomas Cook & Son Ltd. during the mid-19th century (Brendon, 1991).
