FACTORS like natural resources, location, size, topography, demography and climate have a huge impact on the international political behaviour states.
Such things cause countries to issue travel warnings, enforce sanctions, spy on each other, engage in various activities to safeguard their citizens and even go to war.
These factors also have an impact on international tourism. Some tourists are attracted to a particular place because of its topography, climate or location. They want to enjoy white sandy beaches and warm sunshine. Others seek exotic destinations.
At the moment few tourists will go to West Africa. Governments throughout the world have issued travel warnings and bans to avoid the possibility of a global ebola pandemic.
