Butler Tourist Area Life Cycle

Tourism is one of the fastest growing industries in the world and it has been a key sector in the economy of the European countries for more than 50 years. It is considered as a most effective way to boost the development in European Union. Especially in Spain, tourism has been a monumental factor in the growth and development of economy. As Aramberri defines (2009), ‘the country left behind its past as an underdeveloped nation and climbed to a top position in the world economy owing to the impacts of the tourism on agriculture, construction and transportation’ (p.134). The tourism industry had positive influence on Spanish economy by

The Butler Model expresses a very generalised idea of what stages a country might go through when developing into a tourism industry. The Butler Model shows the development through each stage until the country reaches stagnation. In this essay I look specifically at each stage of the Butler Model with reference to Antigua.

According to Burkart and Medlik (1974), mass tourism can be defined as a large numbers of people visiting a destination at a time. Jafari’s (1989, 2001) platform model explains the transition of the tourism industry with 4 stages. These 4 stages are: Advocacy, Cautionary, Adaptancy and Knowledge-Based platform. The first stage would be Advocacy platform, this was when travelling was encouraged as it does not only benefits the tourism sector but also other sectors such as the economic sector which is the increase of revenues and employment and the sociocultural sector which creates the opportunity for other to learn about the different cultures around the world. The following platform would be Cautionary platform; this is when people start to be aware that there are not only positive impacts but also negative impacts for the tourism destinations unless there is careful planning and regulation imposed. For example, it creates jobs that do not require much skill set and it is mostly only seasonal. Adaptancy platform would be when solutions start to arise in order to reduce the negative impacts of tourism and also this is when there is an emergence of alternative tourism.

There are many factors that can affect the growth of tourism in a certain area. This can include the location of the site, how accessible it is, or the amenities that the site has to offer. Tourism trends are ever changing, with different areas of the market always in growth or decline. Due to changing circumstances of British tourists, this has influenced the way we travel and the places that we now visit for holidays. A variety of factors including; increased car ownership, improved education, improved health and fitness, and a tendency to travel further have all affected how we travel and where to. This has resulted in national holidays facing a decline in tourism and an increase in holidays abroad. Moutinho’s theory was that trends would change due to certain factors affecting tourists. This includes Globalisation, Technological acceleration as well as exploration. All these ideas would result in tourists travelling to previously unexplored destinations that were out of the ordinary and very different to the type of holidays being bought in the 1950’s. With

In this chapter, of Management of Tourist Destinations, we will learn the importance of evaluating important factors, which have the most impact by satisfying the visitors and strengthening relationships, to gain maximum benefit through tourism.

Tourism is a very significant factor to Morocco’s economy, as foreign direct investments total over 30 billion Euros in the past ten years. In fact, in 2009, Morocco was the only Mediterranean country to have increased more than 6% while the world market decreased by 5% (Invest in Morocco). Now, tourism in Morocco serves as 20% of the county’s GDP and has over 10 million visitors. The government sponsors enormous marketing campaigns to advertise Morocco as a cheap and exotic, yet safe, place for European tourists. Hotels, transportation, and tourist attractions all hold relatively low prices. Cheap air services have been established between Algeria and Morocco and excellent road and rail infrastructures link the major cities within the country itself to provide an easier route for all citizens and travelers. As for superstructure, King Mohammed VI has developed a large-scale project to internationalize Morocco. The project is known as “Plan Azur.” According to the government of the Kingdom of Morocco, the plan has a view to create a series of quality hotels, in respect to the principles of sustainable development. Specifically, it is designed to initialize the development of six world-class resorts: Saida in the province of Berkane, Lixus in Larache Province, Mogador in the Essaouira province, Taghazout in the province of Agadir, and White Beach in the province of Guelmim (Ministry of Tourism of Morocco). The plan is also designed to increase the development of new train and road links for tourists to travel among the many cities of Morocco, while making it easy to also reach Spain, France, and neighboring African countries, because most tourists come from the European countries. In fact, a growing number of Europeans are actually buying real estate in Morocco, now, due to the new plan and the higher sustainability projects. Unfortunately, tourism in Morocco has led to the undermining of Moroccan

In this document, we are going to show the generalities of the country as well as the information related to the touristic development of the country and within the regions. As for the tourism development, there are many aspects that have influenced the recent development of the infrastructure and the international image; the role of the government has been essential for this change with all the laws and regulations that have been created in order to show where we are and where we are going.

Another aspect of impact of tourism on a country’s economy is that it facilitates the expansion of the market of goods and services. Foreigners come to a country willing to spend money on different goods and services, thus increasing the amounts of sales. This is a great chance for producers and service providers to receive larger profits. This concerns not only hoteliers, tour operators, and souvenir shops owners. Public transportation, retail stores of different kind, restaurants, and cafes benefit from international tourism. Obviously, if these industries are in demand, businesses will be expanding. On the one hand, it means that more money is paid to the budget. On the other hand, profits generated by the owners are spent inside the country, affecting almost all the fields of the

Tourism is one of the most exciting and progressive industries in the world. Tourism today is a leisure activity of the masses. People travel to international destinations to break the regular monotony of life. They are mainly attracted by either the scenic beauty of its nature or by fascinating leisure, sports and adventure activities offered by the destination. However, every destination has some internal strengths and weaknesses that either enhance its capacity to attract foreign visitors or diminish it. Similarly the external environment can create various opportunities or exposed to threats as well.

Policy and planning directly related, despite being completely different types of processes, they both confront the same issues, that being the overall future development of a destination. This essay reflects on policy and planning in the tourism industry. Beginning with the purpose of tourism policy, underlining why policy and planning is important, how it is utilized, and finally the benefits to tourism development.

The Travel and Tourism industry is still one of the largest single businesses in world commerce and its importance is widely recognized. The tourism industry is now one of the largest sectors earning foreign exchange. In the face of many benefits, many countries have started assigning due weight age to the tourism industry in their national development agenda.

Planning and development are both extremely important factors within the tourism industry and can have both positive and negative effects on the environment, local communities and tourist destinations. “Destination planning aims to limit the negative impacts of cultural tourism upon the history and lifestyles of the local community. An understanding of sustainable tourist development allows for the development of culture without loss of its authentic identity” (Maidment. T. 2012). This statement discusses the importance of planning to avoid having any negative impacts on environments and communities. Because the effects of tourism are so severe to destinations, many natural and cultural resources have been destroyed, therefore tourism planning is vital to preserve and maintain these places for future generations.
