What Is Tourism Score?
What Is Tourism Score?
A tourism score is a numerical ranking or rating given to a particular travel location according to a set of standards. Typically, these characteristics cover a wide range of elements that affect a traveler’s experience, including scenic beauty, cultural attractions, safety, infrastructure, hospitality, and price.
Depending on the company or site giving the rating, different formulas may be used to calculate a tourist score. However, the majority of tourism rankings are based on a mix of objective assessments and quantitative data.
Understanding the Tourism Sector Scorecard
This Code has been closely connected with the Amended GCGP issued by the DTI in order to be an effective vehicle for transformation in the tourism sector. Due to this connection, the Amended Tourism B-BBEE Sector Code uses particular metrics established in the Amended GCGP for determining compliance with the targets.
Additionally, certain categories of the elements have been added to this Code due to the particular makeup of the sector because those adopted in the GCGP as amended do not adequately address the demands of the tourism sector.
Unique Principles underpinning the Tourism Sector
According to the White Paper on Tourism Development and Promotion from 1996, tourism is community-based, privately-driven, and dependent on labor. The people hired to perform that particular task are fully responsible for the sector’s products’ and services’ quality. This is considered in the Code’s fundamental tenet.
Elements, Category, Criteria, Weightings and Targets
Elements
There are five B-BBEE elements, namely:
Ownership;
- Management Control;
- Skills Development;
- Enterprise and Supplier Development; and
- Socio-Economic Development.
The Priority elements are as follows:
Ownership:
The sub-minimum requirement for Ownership element is 40% of Net Value
(40% of the 8 points).
Skills Development:
The sub-minimum requirement for Skills Development element is 40% of the total
weighting points (excluding bonus points).
How to measure tourism impacts?
The profitability, sales, passenger counts, or customer happiness have historically been used to assess how successful a tourism venture is. With the growth of tourism businesses that are motivated by both profit and purpose, it is important to consider a wider range of metrics that address socio-cultural, economic, and environmental effects.

Of course, wanting to travel the world is one of the main reasons people pursue careers in tourism, and if you pick the proper one, you can! There are a variety of professions that allow for travel, providing you the chance to run your business from a single location abroad or even to travel frequently as part of your job.
