Great Yarmouth Attractions

Despite being so popular however, Bournemouth currently has plans of regeneration certain parts such as the pier; a new spa village and they are also closely focusing on sports and leisure. However despite the rapid growth of population verging on being a problem I believe that regenerating certain parts, which are aimed at attracting tourists, is only going to worsen the situation.

Yarmouth, Massachusetts is a beach and harbor town with stunning southern shore beach stretching from the west jetty to Great Island. The east and south border Hyannis Harbor, giving residents endless sweeping vistas and picture-perfect sunsets. In addition, an abundance of untouched wilderness is found throughout town. Yarmouth is surrounded by some incredibly big name towns and landmarks, such as Cape Cod Bay, Nantucket Sound, Dennis, and Barnstable. The geographical line between Dennis and Yarmouth mainly consists of the Bass River. With endless water-based recreational activities and relatively close proximity to Boston, this area is the ideal spot for a year-round home or summer vacation spot. Real estate in the area is varied with high-quality

In this document I am going to be looking at the possible impacts that two factors have on the UK in terms of Inbound and domestic tourists and how this possess possible problems in the future and therefore help to predict possible outcomes in terms of tourism numbers and offer ways in which I think that the UK can overcome this and therefore maintain their inbound visitors numbers and increase domestic travel within the UK. The two factors that I am going to be looking at include health and the weather.

Another problem is tourists may be on an all inclusive cruise ship so may go around the town and spend a bit of money but are unlikely to buy any food or get anything to drink as it is all available to them on the ship where they can eat and drink as much as they want. This means the local economy will miss out. Most cruise ships either accept UDA or Euros which means that the locals lose money. Cruises tend to be seasonal, meaning that if there is bad weather they may not get off the ship at all, and in low season the local town will not make a lot of money, especially if they are reliant on tourism because they will not make a lot of money in low season, which could cause business to go bankrupt. This also

Speculation has risen after the announcement made by popularly elected, Jan Barham regarding the town’s tourism industry. It appears some residents and visitors are concerned as tourism largely contributes to Byron’s economy.

The number of trips taken by Britons overseas has declined by 12.6 million, from 69.4 million to 56.8 million between 2007 and 2011, according to the research by Travelodge. This means that 5.9 million holidays and trips have come out of the market altogether when the number of domestic holidays and trips are factored in. This is shy of the government’s stated ambition for domestic trips to replace the number of missing overseas trips, the report says. However, the analysis shows that ‘staycation’ breaks were up by 5.6% as the recession proved that holidays are an essential rather than a luxury. UK city breaks account for 23% of domestic tourism but seaside towns are in decline by 5%. Total tourism revenue was up 12.6% to £40 billion between 2007-2011 against the general economy up 8%. Employment numbers in tourism have bucked the wider trend, thanks to strong growth in 2011 when 120,000 new jobs were created. The UK’s appeal as a tourist destination endured during the double dip, with overall visitor numbers up by 3.1% to 157.4 million, the report shows. Staycations form the backbone of the tourism economy, with domestic trips and holidays increasing by 5.6% to 126.6 million.

This essay will look at the area currently known as King George Sound a harbour in Albany, Western Australia, and how it came to be known as the ‘friendly frontier’ by many historians after reports of harmonious behaviour between British explorers, early settlers and the local Aboriginal community. George Vancouver sailed and moored his ship in a harbour which he named King George the Thirds Sound after discovering how sound it was for ships while also honouring the king of his time King George the Third, though in recent times the name has been shortened to King George Sound. There has been numerous records of European and in particular British explorers and seafarers who visited King George Sound and the surrounding areas. In particular

Doxey (1975) describes the changing of residents’ attitudes toward tourists in the following four stages: euphoria, apathy, irritation and antagonism. Assuming the presence of tourists forms a source of pressure on local residents when the impacts of an evolving tourism industry in their area become more pronounced and their perceptions change with experience. However, the assumption that homogeneity characterises a community is the limitation of this framework.

We are working very hard with tourism businesses across England to maintain this momentum, and to ensure that the industry can benefit from the opportunities presented by the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, the Torch Relay and the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. This is an unprecedented year – it is our job to inspire Brits that now is the time to take a holiday at home.”

When analyzing this first graph, we see that in the beginning it’s the discovery process and that the number tourists is quite low. People might not know or be too familiar with the attraction, and therefore don’t visit it a lot. For this same reason the local people may be very cynical, they might not believe in the attraction and think that it will not do the local economy any good. As time goes by the attraction starts doing better and others see that it does benefit our local economy and their own pocket. They might even start to give some competition and try to offer their own attractions. As time goes by, people start becoming more familiar with the product and more people will start coming, they might tell others about it and the others will come. More people will come and a rapid growth will develop. Will this growth go on forever? In later stages stability will occur.

Retention of Visitor spending: The key to achieving economic sustainability for tourism in (i.e. California and Giants Causeway) is maximising the economic retention of tourist spending in your local economy. The sustainable tourism businesses need to develop strategies that are capable of meeting the long-term economic needs and aspirations of the local community. If the communities are engaged by tourism organisations as stakeholders in tourism, and economic partners in the tourism industry, this will actively support local tourism businesses. Tourism is a rapidly growing industry and has far-reaching economic and environmental impact across the destinations; hence, if tourism is an important source of local employment and a significant

However, some studies indicate that tourists might have cultural, social, economic and environmental impacts on the local residents. In fact, these recent studies have awakened
