Introduction of insurance

In simple words, the term insurance is defined as a cooperative device to spread the loss caused by a particular risk. We know that human life is full of risks involves the loss of one or other kind. Not only in individual life, in business also one has to come across many risks and situation of uncertainty. So the function of insurance is to spread the loss over a large number of persons who are agreed to cooperate each other at the time of loss. Insurance cannot protect total risk or risk cannot be averted, but it can be compensated through the distribution amongst the agreed persons. So risk can be reduced or that can be lighter by diversifying into different persons or sectors.

Insurance is the organized & co-operative management which stands against the casual risks & losses of human life & property. The term of insurance can be defied in two ways. They are classical &modern.
According to functional classification,"Insurance is a co-operative form of distributing a certain risk over a group of persons who are exposed to it."
According to M.k Ghosh & A.n Agrawal,"Insurance is simply a cooperative form of distributing a certain risk over a group of persons exposed to it."

Introduction of Tourist Motivation

An understanding of why people buy the holidays or business trips they wake,how they go about selecting their holidays, why they choose to travel when they do is vital to those who work in the tourism industry. Yet curiously, we know relatively little about tourism motivation, and although we gather numerous statistics which reveal a great deal about who goes where, the reasons for these choices are little understood. This is not entirely the result of a lack of research, because many large companies do commission research into the behaviour of their clients, but as this is in house research, the information it reveals is confidential to the company concerned, and seldom becomes public knowledge.

Motivation and purpose are closely related, and earlier in this book the principal purposes for which tourists travel were identified. There are three board categories: Business travel, Leisure travel, and miscellaneous travel.

Concepts of Tourism Demand

The notion that some individuals may harbor a demand for tourism but unable to realize that demand suggests that demand for tourism consists of a no. of components. We can identify 3 basic components that make up the total demand for tourism.Effective or actual demand is the actual no. of participants in tourism or those who are traveling, i.e. De facto tourists. This is the component of demand most commonly and easily measured and the bulk of tourism statistics refer to effective demand.

1. Suppressed demand is made up of that section of the population who do not travel for some reason.
2. Finally, there will always be those who simply do not wish to travel or are unable to travel, constituting category of no demand.
