Answer 1

This question has the intention of encouraging students to recognize that destinations differ across a spectrum that may seem quite wide, but, in fact, can be described and characterized

in systematic ways on the basis of a limited number of dimensions. Understanding this fact should lead to the conclusion that certain characteristics of specific destinations will also attract certain types of travelers that can be described along demographic and psychographic dimensions.

Answer 2

If I increase rates by 10 and lose 15 of my customers, my customers are said to be price elastic or very sensitive to changes in rates.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
