1. Good use of images--Great pictures Point to the place on the map where Acapulco is. Some in the audience will be geogrpahically challenged and it will give you some �ACTION!� in the presentation. Nice idea to use examples with specific data on losses Nice to bring in the macroeconomic effects Presentation design of macro effects and technology effects needs to be consistent with the design of the first part, which was REALLY NICE. I.e., words in column one, picture in column 2. The transition to economic factors as a contrast to the earthquakes was very nicely done. Nicely structured within each macroeconomic topic, with repeat from topic to topic--for example, Low helps, high hurts. This helps the audience structure their thoughts on the issues Transportation --put the pictures on two slides y2k stuff--not specific enough on the impacts on this industry. Need to be very precise in your discussion of y2k. Too many platitudes and �truisms� floating around. Good use of images--Great pictures Point to the place on the map where Acapulco is.

2. TOURISM Tyler Kawamura Kimberly Kelepolo Jimmy Yeh

3. Risks Affecting The Tourism Industry Natural Disasters Economic Technological

4. Hurricane Hurricane Pauline hits Acapulco, Mexico Unemployment Poverty Level Fear Loss of $8 billion Solutions Publicity Campaign

5. Floods California Flood Negative Media Coverage �Traveler Confidence� Loss of $360 million Solutions $1 Million Proposal

6. Earthquakes Los Angeles and San Francisco Earthquake homeless businesses looted unemployment Positive Attributes Incentives i.e. Cheap airfare

7. Economic conditions of other countries and how it affects the Tourism industry. When economic conditions of other countries are bad, tourism decreases. Weakness of the dollar against the yen in the early 90�s. Asian economic crisis and Hawaii. When economic conditions of other countries are good, tourism increases.

9. Inflation and how it affects the Tourism Industry Low inflation rate will help the tourism industry. People are able to buy more things with their money. High inflation rate will hurt the tourism industry. People are not able to buy as much with their money so they will not spend as much.

10. Technology Transportation and communication systems Computers Y2K

11. Transportation and telecommunication systems Faster planes and trains (Britain�s Concord, France�s TGV, and Japan�s bullet train) -Traveling time will decrease -But is it safe (trains operated by computer, future planes flown by computers). -Environmental factors (air and noise pollution). Telephone, video conferencing, e-mail, fax, internet telephony, etc. - Cheaper phone rates and e-mail allow users to be in contact with friends and relatives more often, thus less traveling needed. - Video conferencing allows company to conduct meetings and business without leaving their home town.

13. Computers The Internet - cheaper to purchase airline tickets, hotel rooms, vacation packages, etc. online ( priceline.com) Global Positioning System (GPS) Virtual Reality - why go to it when it can come to you - indoor winter sports facility, indoor rainforest.

15. Y2K Fear - planes falling, credit card expires, bank records will be erased, and nuclear power plants won�t be able to measure radiation levels. Are we ready ? - tourism - banking - telecommunication - airline industrial - power plants
