Receptive

Tourism

Inbound tourism generates income for the city that receives visitors.

Receptive is an adjective linked to the idea of ​​receiving (taking something, assuming it). Originating from the Latin word receptum , the receptive person is in a position to receive something .

For example: “I am a very receptive man, I am always open to listening to ideas and suggestions” , “The president surprised by being receptive to opposition politicians” , “I recommend that you not talk to the boss: he is not receptive at all” .

Incoming tourism

The notion of incoming tourism is used to mention the visitors that a certain location receives. Tourism , in its broadest sense, involves people leaving one place and arriving at another: if we focus on the cities or nations that receive the arrival of said travelers, we will refer to incoming tourism.

Inbound tourism, therefore, represents a source of income for the recipient. Take the case of Paris . The millions of tourists who come to the French capital every year spend a lot of money there, whether in hotels , restaurants, theaters, museums, etc. Inbound tourism, in this way, brings large sums of money to Paris . Other popular destinations are Spain, Mexico, Italy, China and the United States.

This means that, on an economic level, it is always convenient for a city to be receptive (receiving tourists). That is why governments usually promote domestic tourism, since travelers who visit different cities in the nation spend in the country and do not take their money abroad.

France

Paris makes a lot of money from inbound tourism.

Income generation

The cities that have the most experience in inbound tourism assure that one of the reasons why the economic benefits are so high is the attitude of the tourist themselves, who usually spares no expense in order to have a good vacation . Furthermore, especially in the most iconic places on the planet, people grab whatever souvenirs they can find (such as miniature replicas of towers, buildings and typical vehicles of the place), something that local people would never buy. In other words, a tourist city is the ideal habitat for street commerce and souvenir shops.

The pure-bred tourist, for whom travel is very important and not isolated or casual experiences, usually appears very enthusiastic and full of energy, with a great openness to the customs and languages ​​that he encounters in each city. This surplus of goodwill often serves to overlook the abuses to which some local merchants subject them, charging them "special" rates for their products and services.

Inbound tourism is a phenomenon but it can also be the driving force of a business, as is the case with certain agencies that specialize in personalized attention to tourists to show them the sights and assist them with everything they may need during their stay. Thanks to alliances with various companies such as hotels, travel companies and restaurant chains, these agencies facilitate their clients with all procedures related to reservations, accommodation and transfers nationwide.

Incoming tourism agencies

Broadly speaking, through a company dedicated to incoming tourism it is possible to book trips within the limits of the national territory , vehicles to facilitate transportation on your own, hotel rooms, activities such as excursions and guided tours, tickets to attend events, seminars, conventions or conferences.

All this without forgetting the personalized help for vacation planning, which makes their service very useful.

The concept in biology

For biology , a neuron has its receptive field in the area in which a stimulus modifies the response of the neuron itself.

Sometimes, this term is also used to refer to the two-dimensional function that describes the variation in the pulse rate that is generated for each point in said area.
