Tourism & Hospitality Management QUESTION #1597
Question 1
In the Introduction to Tourism & Hospitality course, 'superstructure' in tourism refers to which of the following?
  • The physical road and utility networks supporting tourism
  • Tourism-specific built facilities such as hotels, resorts, restaurants, and attractions developed to serve tourists✔️
  • Government tourism ministries and policy frameworks
  • The cultural and heritage resources of a destination
Correct Answer Explanation
In tourism studies, 'superstructure' refers to tourism-specific developments built to serve visitors: hotels, resorts, restaurants, recreational facilities, and attractions. This is distinguished from 'infrastructure' (roads, utilities, airports, water supply) which serves both residents and tourists. Both concepts are covered in the Introduction to Tourism & Hospitality course.
