1.2 Changing External EnvironmentA business cannot operate in isolation because it needs to know what is happening within its vicinity. Changes in external environment will affect the functions of a business and also the strategies. The main factors that are responsible for changes in the external factors are:
пєјPolitical: Changes in government policies can affect a business. For instance, Increase or decrease in national minimum wageпєјEconomic: A booming economy or recessive economy are one of the changes in the external environment, also government spending, interest rater, exchange rate and many more
пєјSocial: Peoples taste, preferences and way of life are far changing in todays worldпєјTechnological: This factor is changing rapidly and it affects everyday life and businesses. High-Tech gadgets are becoming obsolete day by dayпєјLegal: There is need to abide by the rules and regulations guiding a business, also new industry standards for goods and services.пєјClimate: Recent changes in climate such as global warming have prompted new laws and policies to be made to prevent high carbon emission.Method of EnquiryHaving given the option to choose the method of enquiry to employ in regards to this research work, the researcher decided to employ dialectic enquiry after careful analysis of other forms of enquiry such as the inductive-consensual, analytical, multiple realities and unbounded thinking enquiry system. Dialectic enquiry system is mostly used because it scrutinizes gravely into matters and also operates as a more realistic decision making tool. However, there could be flaws in the dialectic enquiry system because commonly held opinions by the researcher could be biased which will definitely affect the result of the subject matter, also objective solution, compromise or synthesis might not be reached.
TASK 22.1 SOCIAL FACTORSIn recent years, family structures are changing with direction heading towards late marriages, same sex marriages, more one parent family, and having children at later ages, each of this trends have a direct implication on tourism activities ( Cooper et al, 2005). He also emphasized that changing patterns of leisure time are changing the industry and the predictions of a leisured society from the sociologist of the 1960s have not come to past because the fear of job security means that leisure time is squeezed and workers do not take their full entitlement as the distinction between work and leisure time blurs.
Urbanization has also influenced changes in the industry to considerable amount, with more consumers in the urban city with huge purchasing power wanting to get out of the busy everyday life by going on holiday to less remote and rural areas. The advent of constant break-through in the medical field has increased the average life span of human beings creating an ageing population in todays society thereby creating a niche for it in the industry. Its also pertinent to note that with the world becoming a global village, people tend to learn and understand each others culture and tradition through communication technology which results in trans-continental travel irrespective of their social and cultural background.

Its also pertinent to note that with the world becoming a global village, people tend to learn and understand one another language and culture by listening to one another speech and writing. The rise of the internet is a case in point. More people on many continents get used to using online and the spread of their knowledge and technologies. As the speed of the Internet makes it possible for a person who doesn’t know the basics to understand it, so people’s daily hours are increasing. Therefore some of them are becoming increasingly interested in education and internet education.
>There has been the growing interest of the middle class that goes along with it. They want educated, well-educated individuals which tend to get ahead and get what they want. To this end, various online media channels and blogs are attracting a large amount of people to learn different things that seem like basic science and science shows, instead of just plain being fun and interesting. Some websites are showing up with millions of likes on Facebook that promote different things that appear in different social media channels.

>Over time, they become increasingly concerned with their lives and with the future of what their family is capable of. They find that life revolves around family in general. Therefore all of these things are not only possible but have to be tried. Many people in this book are working for wealth and wealth to create a world without all of these “diseases”.
What this book aims to do is build on that and add several additional subliminal messages to the conversation of the poor, where I believe it provides a good basis for more
The level of education of a society also plays an important role to the tourism sector, there is always an urge for the highly educated members of the society to be more adventurous after learning about different cultures of the world at school and fantasizing about all kinds of holidays from reading educational books like Gulliver Travels, also the social/economic background of
