Narcissistic Destination

I like to think of traveling as a new and refreshing start. You don’t know anyone and no one knows you. It’s the perfect scheme to reinvent and fully immerse yourself in an unfamiliar culture. So with every opportunity to get in a car, train, bus, plane, boat, bike, and maybe even your

Travelling gives us mixed feelings: happiness, anxiety, eagerness, … and it gives us expectations about the country or city we are visiting. The two travelers have felt similar feelings as what we might feel. They both were eagered to find what Athens was like.

One of my favorite things to do when traveling in a new city is to visit the museums. I

Butler’s Destination life cycle identifies at least stages of Growth or decline. Using examples from at least two destinations discuss three of the six stages and consider how they can aid in destination management.

Even though going to a new city can be stressful, many find it relaxing in their own way. No matter which city one decides to go to there will be many new experiences that one can take part in. Within a new city, there are various cultural experiences that one should take advantage of. There are museums, restaurants, and concerts that one can enjoy while learning about the new city they are in. No matter if one visits a small or large city there will always be places that are unique to that city. This vacation is perfect for anyone who is ready for a different pace of

Summer fun can always begin with a trip to a big city. This year, I travelled to Chicago around the 4th of July. Chicago is much different than New Orleans, the only city I have known for most of my life. The skyscrapers are colossal, and the traffic is unbearable; however, I loved the city with my whole heart. It was spotless and the people were so pleasant to us, especially when we got lost. My family and I took more public transportation than we drove, which was a completely new experience; before my trip, I had

Goeldner and Ritchie (1995) define tourism as a short term movement of people to places other than their normal place of residence and work, including the activities of persons travelling to and staying in locations outside their places of residence and work for not more than twelve months for the purpose of: leisure (recreation, vacation, health, study, religion and sport); and business family, mission and meetings.

Initially, I knew very little about the topic of research. I did not know much about the issue other than that minuscule amount of knowledge regarding the possible cause of narcissism. I had taken the futuristic approach for this topic and attempted to tie together potential narcissism causes with how it will cause narcissism in the future. I was seeking data that would back up my claim and perspective but it was pretty difficult, but through my research i was able to find articles, organization and data that helped support my point.

Tourism in general is closely tied to geography, since travellers take into account the travel time, routing and local climate when choosing vacation destinations. Travel agents, who must successfully sell or advise clients on travel products on a daily basis, need to understand what geographically sets places apart and why destinations are chosen by customers. Travel agents must

Choosing a destination for your vacation may be the easiest part of planning the whole trip but planning the details of it is the hard part. Some people have it down to a science and some do it all last minute. When you wait until the last minute to plan your trip it can end up being very expensive. I prefer to keep it simple and take my time planning my trip, keeping it as stress free as possible.

Every time, when I get into nature and felt my heart is opened, every trouble and worries are disappeared. So I loved to travel. Before every trips, I need to plan ahead in order to ensure the safety and don’t get loose. I started to plan the trip since I was thirteen. I draw the rough maps with the attractions marks and service information such as restaurant and restroom. Also the transportation information is most important. I like to collect data such as bus stop, schedule, and route from websites. By combine all the information together, I was clear to design my trips. Unknowingly, this was my first introduction to GIS.

Travelling is a past time most people enjoy; the young, the old and everybody in between must travel; whether, for business or pleasure. While both the journey and the destination are often fun and unforgettable experiences, travel plans and travelling itself can be an exhausting experience, especially if you don’t have travel insurance and you encounter an unforeseen mishap, such as a missed or delayed flight; your baggage and personal items gets lost in transition; or you meet in an accident and need medical assistance in a country where proper health care is non-existent.

Its always good to travel at the time of festivals so we can enjoy new tradition and new festival of that other culture.

The image of a destination according to Reynolds (1965), is defined based on impressions that are derived from a “flood of information”. Promotional items such as adverts and brochures, opinions coming from family members, friends and travel agents, media reports in newspapers, magazines, television news, and documentaries are all different floods of information that contribute to the formation of a destinations image. According to Echtner and Ritchie, the image one has of a destination based on first hand information as well as one’s experience can change after having visited the place (Charlotte M. Echtner, 2003).

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.
