You should develop information provided in P1. You need to consider why these links exist and why relationships are formed, explaining how they affect the organisations concerned. E.g.

Tourism that has continued to develop suddenly stopped to improve during the World War I ,but immediately after the war showed a sudden improvement. Enemy States had curiosity among to know each other and wished to discover contested areas of the enemy territory. This shows that request for tourism was not only to travel but to discover. (Sivil, 2001: 12). “many british travellers witness the sites of battles such as those fought on the Normandy beaches and at St Nazaire. (Holloway, The Business Of Tourism, 2012) At the end of the Second World War, tourism has continued to spread to large areas. During this period Europe, tried to eliminate all of the injuries and the decline revealed by the war by using tourism and it was seen as a potential

There are multiple reasons on why people visit these tourist destinations, but the author feel that the main reason that people go to dark tourism is because of the emotional feeling. Stones states “a dark experience requires empathy/emotion” (579 Stone). The main idea is that it create emotions of the people who are experiencing dark tourism. Dark tourism bring an entire new perspectives that which most people have forgotten about death. People don’t have a strong relationship towards death because it almost hidden away in modern society. People are focusing on other things around them. For example the authors says “ Consequently modern ideology espouses a celebration of life and living, amplified by a post-modern focus on youth… thoughts of death…are repressed” (Stone 582). The ways in modern society cover death is by “absent death privatization of meaning, the medicalization of dying and the professionalization of the death”. (Stone 585). When people think of death towards medical they don’t really think about because they think it’s for science department. While for the funeral department people don’t really think about death because in the modern world people are becoming less religious. Yet the world is still interested towards death. Stones points out that “pervasive feature in the popular cultural landscape … it may be considered fascinating, educational or even humorous” (Stone 585). It shows that dark tourism combines all of these factors that would want for the general public to be involve which causes dark tourism to

Miles (2002) suggests that a ‘darker-lighter tourism paradigm’ does indeed exist. He argues there is a distinction between ‘dark’ and ‘darker’ tourism, that is, a greater notion of the macabre and the morose can exist between sites. Miles proposes there is a crucial difference between sites associated with death and suffering, and sites that are of death and suffering. Thus, according to Miles the product and experience at the death camp site at Auschwitz-Birkenau is conceivably darker than the one at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington DC. (Stone, 2006)

The Tourism Industry uses that to their advantage to make lots of money off these people. They all book flights through Travelocity, Kayak, Expedia etc. Almost everyone stays in a five star hotel and expects to be treated as VIP guests. Hotels take up most of supplies that we are short of. People have an itinerary of activities to get through for their trip . In the upside it provides more job for people who live there since it’s a busy attraction destination are. It raises awareness and shows off the beauty of their destination especially in poorer countries. But the downside of tourism is the environmental damage it provides. There will be lots of pollution since people are site seeing. The over capacity of people staying at one area is a major concern. Major tourism attraction areas like ancient buildings, monuments, and temples often struggle to cope with the vast amounts of tourist traffic and they suffer wear and tear or damage. Pristine sites and natural national park and wildlife parks are ought to be saved. These areas are old and fragile so it must be protected and preserved. Traditions are lost when people put on a costume and act just for a couple of dollars. Tourists don’t acknowledge or follow the policy acting like they own the place. Dressing how they want, eating how they want and doing what they want

Wollaston writes in her article “Negotiating the Marketplace: The Role(s) of Holocaust Museums Today” that “Holocaust museums are simultaneously tourist attractions and memorial sites” (66). This is especially true of the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe since it is one of Berlin’s biggest tourist attractions. However, the site is also dedicated to the victims of the Holocaust and it can become difficult to separate the memorial’s two very different identities. As a result of this, tensions can exist between those visiting as tourists and those visiting as mourners. Wollaston notes that “the presence of tourists may seem out of place, even offensive, to those paying their respects at a shrine or cemetery” (66). This is certainly true, and the Information Center can try to diffuse some of the tension by “drawing attention to the multifaceted character of the site and appealing to visitors to behave appropriately” (Wollaston 66). For example, the Information Center’s exhibits remind visitors of the atrocities for which the monument overhead is memorializing and that the abstract stelae are not just fun things to climb all

A dark tourism site’s narrative is greatly affected by external forces such as stakeholders, storytellers, or political or cultural situations; which may not align with those views of the official agencies, or can marginalize other facets of the site’s history. Alcatraz prison is a prime example of this conflict, where Hollywood has solidified the theme internationally that Alcatraz represents the American popular culture ideal of the “struggle of the individual against tyranny and demeaning rules” (Strange et al. 398), rather than the “freedom-seeking framework” many park rangers try to get across to tourists. Robben Island, on the other hand, embraces the concepts of hope and reconciliation laid out by its heritage managers which is in keeping

“Geography is the scientific study of where things are located on the earth’s surface and why” (Rubenstain, 2003). Leisure’s geography then is taking on where and why leisure is located. Specifically I will focused on two places as a part of our outside trips for Perspective on Leisure class. The first place we visited was The Challenge Course located on the main campus of California State University of Sacramento. Second place was The Golden 1 Center right in the center of downtown Sacramento. I will compare those two leisure places, their similarities and differences. Also it is important to look at the importance of the location where they are present. And finally, the impact on the surrounding location those places

Tourism is one of the world’s fastest-growing industries and businesses, employing 7.4 million people in the United States with a payroll of $183 billion, and federal, state, and local tax revenues of $113 billion. Tourism contributed $704 billion to the United States economy in 2009. Tourism is the third largest industry in Texas, directly supporting 500,000 jobs and indirectly supporting 419,000 jobs. In San Antonio alone, the tourism industry employs more than 113,000 workers who annually generate $12.2 billion dollars back into the local economy. Tourism is one of San Antonio’s largest industries.

The first question, the reason for the availability of lands for tourism, can be explained by a number of factors. For example, the simplest answer is that certain lands were designated as worth preservation or other government sanctioned protection and as such, those lands were made available to anyone who cared to travel and see them. However, there is much more to the story that simple land protection legislation.

There is more to the role than just flying the plane, which has to be done safely and economically,

There are a number of different ways that dark tourism can be defined. The location must have “tragedies and historically noteworthy death” and must still have an

Heritage tourism is a growing niche in the tourism industry and it is something that most tourists will engage at. By breaking the term is separated into heritage and tourism, the term heritage is mainly associated with the meaning of the inheritance of something that is passed on throughout the ages (Nuryanti, 1996). Tourism can be interpreted as the movement to somewhere to experience a contrast to the current way of living (Miller, 2015). The definition that the National Trust for Historic Preservation provides, “traveling to experience the places, artifacts and activities that authentically represent the stories and people of the past and present” explains heritage tourism very well (Hargrove, 2002). A more cynical definition explains heritage tourism as “a contemporary commodity purposefully created to satisfy contemporary consumption”. For the purpose of this paper, heritage tourism shall be defined as traveling to satisfy the feeling of contrast of experiencing the places, artifacts, and activities that have undergone the passage of time through the guise of authenticity. Tourists going to see the Roman Coliseum casually, or tourists participating in a local ritual, in this paper, would be both considered as heritage tourism. It is also important to know the broker-local-tourist model, which is Fig 2 in the appendix, and the terms will be defined subsequently. Brokers will be defined as any “persons who in one way or another, manage, design or otherwise seek in their

Las Palmas, the capital of Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands in Spain is a beautiful place to visit during the holiday. A subtropical climate, mild to warm temperatures which stay quite the same throughout the entire year and sandy beaches tempt tourists every year. These great features promote the tourism in Las Palmas. Literally tourism, or in this case, mass tourism, is a move of people around the world. It is all about presenting the character of a touristic destination and providing great facilities in order to satisfy customers (tourists) desires and their changing, dynamic needs, mainly focusing on their preferences. If tourism was not provided in Las Palmas, people would go bankrupt as tourism states 32% of GDP in
