The Americas is a vast continent with a range of tourist resources available throughout the year. Due to the size of the whole region, there is a wealth of tourist resources for both domestic and international visitors. Although there are resources ranging from natural to cultural to man-made attractions, when people think of the Americas, it tends to be thought of as quite a commercialised destination. This can especially be the case when regarding North America; destinations such as Las Vegas and the Disney Resorts reinforce this view. This is highlighted with the majority of international arrivals visiting the North of America, with New York and Florida being amongst the most popular cities.
Despite this slight weakness, the region redeems itself as it actually possesses a large amount of cultural and historical resources as discussed in the visitor attractions section. These are particularly predominant in the central and south of the Americas. If the Americas are to be an even bigger success than they already are, they need to celebrate and promote their cultural resources on a bigger scale to attract more international visitors to its southern regions. If this is done successfully, it should boost the level of tourism in the south so that it is similar to that of North America.
