PAULA SAN JOSÉ, CLAUDIA SÁNCHEZ Y SANDRA FERNÁNDEZ

INTRODUCTION

What is the tertiary sector?

The tertiary sector of the economy (also known as the service sector or the service industry) is one of the three economic sectors, the others being the secondary sector(the same as manufacturing) and the primary sector (agriculture,fishing and extraction such as mining).

Its also called the service sector. This sector doesn't provide us with material goodsIt includes activities which provide services such as educational,health,financial,trade,transport.We can mainly find in cities. In Spain 65% people work in the tertiary sector. This is more than any other sector because it makes more money

CHARACTERISTICSTHE THREE SECTORS.

1 Primary production: this involves acquiring raw materials. For example, metals and coal have to be mined, oil drilled from the ground, rubber tapped from trees, foodstuffs farmed and fish trawled. This is sometimes known as extractive production.

2 Secondary production: this is the manufacturing and assembly process. It involves converting raw materials into components, for example, making plastics from oil. It also involves assembling the product, eg building houses, bridges and roads.

3 Tertiary production: this refers to the commercial services that support the production and distribution process, eg insurance, transport, advertising, warehousing and other services such as teaching and health care

4 The basic characteristics of this sector is the produce of service instead of end products. Services(also know as “intangible goods”) include attention, advice, access, experience and discussion.

USES OF THE TERTIARY SECTOR

Uses:

Industry is the biggest activity withing the secondary sector. It transforms raw materials into finished products. For direct consuption, or semi-finished products, wich are used as materials in other industrial processes.

Raw materials: natural products that insdutry transform into finished product.

Energy source: natural resources that provide the power necessary to drive machine and carry out the process of industrial transformation.

The production factors: workers or workforce, the capital and the technology.

Mining: process of locating, extracting and refinins the rocks and minerals that are in the ground.

TYPES OF SERVICES

Public services:They are manage by the state. To meet the needs of the population and organise the territory, so that

its purpose is social and not economicPrivate services:These are offered by private

Positive effects of tourism

Negative effects of tourism

Tourism creates a lot of direct employment in hotels etc. and indirect employment in various services provided for tourists, in the transport industry and the food industry

Tourist facilities are often built in a way that can damage the environment

Tourism is an important contribution to many national economies. In the case of Spain, 20% of export earnings come from tourism.

Large groups of tourists can sometimes lead to crime and disturbance for the local population

Tourists demand high standards. To cater for these, governments have to improve roads, telephones and other facilities for tourists

Because tourists are prepared to spend a lot of money, prices in tourist areas may seem very high for local people who not involved in the industry.

CONSEQUENCES

CONCLUSIONMajor reasons for the rapid growth in tourism:

• People increasingly have longer holidays from their jobs

• In the developed world, people are now paid more and have more disposable income for holidays

Air travel has become a lot cheaper

• The stress involved in modern urban living make many people feel it is almost essential for them to get away on holiday regularly

• There are a huge variety of destinations now available to the modern tourist. The “sun holiday”, for example to Mediterranean resorts, is particularly popular. Other attractions include major cities, ski resorts and areas of noted scenery.

Tourism in Spain:

• Consistently good weather – you can usually rely on the sunshine• Most tourists come from Northern Europe where the weather is not so attractive• Apartments and hotels are readily available in all the Spanish resorts• It is easy for tourists to get to Spain - the road network is well developed and all the major resorts

are well serviced by air transport.

CONCLUSION

The tertiary sector use in everyday life:

The tertiary sector in our lives

Yes we use very often the tertiary sector, because all the services you need are the tertiary sector and

it depends on what is provided by the state by a private company.

the tertiary sector helps us in many aspects of life because we use public transport for example to go to other places. We need to have basic knowledge that is

provided by the state or by example without many private companies we complicate long life
