The Butler 's Life Cycle

Tourism is the world’s largest industry with nature-based ecotourism seeing rapid growth since its initial arrival in the 1980s. It is estimated by the World Tourism Organisation that nature tourism generates 7% of all international travel expenditure (Lindberg, 1997) and this figure will have increased rapidly over recent years. It’s increase in popularity is due to a number of factors; tourists becoming increasingly bored of the typical sun, sea and sand holiday’s, the increase in global awareness or environmental issues such as global

P4) Review factors that have contributed to one declining destination (Cyprus) and one developing (Greece) in the European travel market.

Many things will affect people’s decision to travel, the destinations they choose and for how long they stay. Different destinations are affected by different factors, here we will explore these factors and the destinations they effect.

This essay reviews whether the Butler Model, a model designed to illustrate the different stages of tourism that a country goes through, supports the Antiguan tourist industry.

It is commonly believed that each product in business goes through what is called a product life cycle. It can typically be divided into four distinctive categories. Simply put, Introduction, Growth, Maturity and Decline are the four names that describe the different sections. Guam’s tourism industry is currently going through the Decline stage of the product life cycle.

What this research is intended to do, is bring a high ranking officer’s view point of a group of people, who others believed they were incapable of preforming, on the battlefields, while incorporating studies of other scholars done on them separately. The objective and focus of the study, is to take General Butler’s perfective of blacks, from his time at Fort Monroe; dating from the time he encountered contrabands of war, viewing them as incapable of fighting to the Battle of the Crater. This research will demonstrate the objective of how whites in this case Butler used USCTs to advance the union forces, how Blacks not only self-emancipated, but fought for their emancipation and how together, they proved that Blacks indeed were a strong fighting force, capable of fighting the same way, white regiments would. Historians have separated Butler and African Americans, into two separate subjects; Butler as a war general and African Americans and their struggle for emancipation, but rarely are both combined.

The topic of the essay will look into the increase in popularity and rejuvenation of the seaside town of Blackpool in the north-west of England. Various factors played a role in the growth in popularity for visiting Blackpool. The popularity of Blackpool will be compared to the gradual decline of the destination. The destination will then be analysed to see if the area is contributing enough facilities for the rejuvenation of Blackpool. Butler 's Tourism Area Lifecycle will be used to determine if the area of Blackpool has successfully rejuvenated the area to attract tourists.

When it comes to the topic of ecotourism, most of us will readily agree that it is a less harmful alternative to mass-tourism and that it promotes responsible and low-impact travel to areas where flora, fauna and cultural heritage are the primary drawing power. Where this agreement usually ends, however, is on the question of what the impact of ecotourism actually is and what its long-term consequences are. Whereas some are convinced that ecotourism provides the basis for sustainable development, particularly in places that suffer from exploitation and excessive resources’ usage, and that could only improve the general conditions of the local people, others maintain that we are still far from true ecotourism, for many are those in the

The Victorian Tourism Industry Strategic Plan 2002–06 created a hierarchy of destinations and villages that dictate priorities for marketing and promotion by Tourism Victoria. Special interest destinations and villages were rated Level 1, 2 or 3 (destinations) or Type A or B (VillagesDaylesford was considered a Level 1 Destination, defined as: Destinations that currently or potentially attract a strong mix of international, interstate and intrastate visitors and particularly demonstrate international and national appeal matched to Victoria’s product strengths (Wray, 2010).

The use of natural resources to attract tourists, if successful, leads to the obligation of an infrastructure upon ‘nature’. Over time, it is the manmade structures that maintain the desirability of the tourist resort, not the natural features that prompted the original.(Ryan, 1991) Thus by focusing too much on attracting tourists

As mentioned by Rimmington & Morrison (2009), the assistance from different parts of the world presents a new and diverse outlook for future research including theoretical innovations and revelations, cultural and environmental aspects, tourist destination and other ecotourism and recreational aspects of tourism and hospitality industry (Brotherton,

The following literature is suggesting that how a tourist destination can be analyzed with the help of Butler's Tourism Life Cycle Model. Butler (1980) introduced the concept of the model which clarifies and extends earlier work by, for example, Cristaller (1963), Noronha (1976) and Stansfield (1978). In doing so, Butler clearly links the development cycle of tourism destinations to that of products in the product life cycle model. This is one the best used management framework to know the evolution in a tourism destination as described by Baum (1998), the original Butler's model included:

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. Tourism is an industry that operates on a massively broad scale: it embraces activities ranging from the smallest sea-side hotel; to air-lines, multi-national hotel chains and major international tour operators. Originally, non-traditional industries such as tourism emerged as a solution to strike a balance between ecology and industry
