The City Of Fremantle Is A Local Government Area

Just like modern day tourists, the tourism industry has been on a steady, fast paced journey due to technological evolution. With the affordability and easy accessibility, traveling potential has greatly increased. Sometimes, it is the destination that matters along with the people you go on the voyage with. This paper will analyze Isla Holbox as a cultural destination.

A community which at times has a push-pull relationship with it’s vital tourism industry, has been essentially cutoff from the outside world, once again, rendering those who live here with both great challenges and the sense of a return to a bygone era.

Near my neighborhood, Pacific Spirit Regional Park is the most famous. Every day I can see people obtain and enjoy a range of values form it. In the next few paragraphs, I will introduce different types of values of this park through my experiences with it, such as social function, environmental function and economic function.

At Hasting’s Point it was evident from the ecosystems visited that there exist many, possible future implications due to human impacts. The value of these ecosystems to us as a resource is immense, however human activity, in particular tourism, threatens to undermine this value. Tourism is comprised of several damaging factors: directly interacting with ecosystems; pollution; development of the area and increased popularity. We rely on these ecosystems for food, relaxation, medicine (scientific research), natural balance and, paradoxically, tourism. However if nothing is done to rectify and/or control this issue, these ecosystems in Hasting’s Point, like many others, run the risk of being destroyed and losing their value as a resource. It

再这样的情况下， St Klida Health Centre proposes to develop the Veg Out community garden targeted at children and local families who live in the community.

Visitors can enjoy walking through the park, appreciate and interpret the natural and cultural aspects of the area.

An Eco Map consists of listing anything in your life that has a major influence. The influences can be negative or positive. It allows you to see your relationships in a social and personal perspective. My influences include: Family, friends, school, my relationship, babysitting, and money. Eco maps help social workers visualize each individuals social and family connections. It also helps them see what affects their client. This eco map is going to show what my strengths and weaknesses

I had the opportunity to assess the needs of the Rosewood and Rockwood plaza in collaboration with OHSU, Human Solutions and Wallace medical Concern. I am following up with a recommendation that Human Solutions consider implementing a roof top community space and garden on the Rockwood plaza building. This recommendation is evidenced by a variety of studies, government reports, and models that show how community space and the built environment contribute to the physical, mental, and social well-being of individuals and communities (design for health.net). These individual and community health benefits can also contribute to the health of the broader community and have a positive influence on the environment. The integration of the built environment to promote health outcomes has been shown to have significant impact on both the individual

The internet offered a plentiful, broad source of information and its accessibility made it a manageable and valuable secondary research process. Through using this research process, I acquired the background information of the Great Barrier Reef (Great Barrier Reef, 2017) as well as the summary of the tourism operations located across the Great Barrier Reef (Australian Government, 2017). The information that I gathered from this research process was useful to my research and was included in the final outcome. Additionally, there were substantial benefits of using this research process as it provided a large amount of resources that provided reliable and valid information that could be cross – referenced with other sources. This research process was also manageable and its ease of accessibility allowed research to be conducted across a range of locations. The sources provided from the internet searches were ensured to be reliable, credible and valid when comparing their information to information from

The City of Karratha is in the Pilbara region of north east Western Australia. It was renamed from the Shire of Roebourne to the City of Karratha on the 1st of July 2014. The surrounding region contains the Burrup Peninsula – an area filled with petroglyphs, engravings in the rock which have been around for over 30,000 years. This is evidence of occupation of the Aboriginal people in this area and may even show a sign of the world’s first counting system.

The aboriginals argue that the demographic of visitors has changed, bleaching the town into a mass tourist resort, rather than the premium destination it once was. This is indicative of the fabric of Port Douglas changing, a clear matter of dispute between many of the players. While the Douglas-Shire council present the change as “progress” (8), the WWF interpret the change particularly negatively (with consideration to their conservation success in most parts of Australia), they argue that with more tourists the area becomes consumerism driven (an attempt to resist this is shown in

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

In a sense the circulated images that cities use for promotion, leads tourists to believe that these representations are absolute thus ingraining potentially false beliefs about a destination. Also, Morgan and Pritchard (1998) argue that there is a powerful force behind the media promotion of tourism images. They claim that images are social products that function ‘to reinforce ideas, values and meaning systems at the expense of alternative ways of seeing the world’ (Morgan and Pritchard 1998:5). By exposing the restrictive power of tourist images one can look critically at promotional material that permeates our everyday lives.

As I was contemplating a topic for this paper on, I happened to be reading the chapter in Pastimes, our textbook, which talks about ecotourism and sustainable tourism. I frankly had never really considered the impact millions of visitors had on a state Park or national monument, and the idea of sustainable tourism as defined by Russell, “controlling visitation to tourist sites so that impacts are neither permanent or irreversible.” I found myself thinking more and more about leisure pursuits and how they do impact society as a whole. For example if I am a kayaker, what were the impacts of producing my kayak on the environment? What is the impact of me kayaking on fish and other wildlife in the river or lake ? Being a student, I don’t travel much and I am not a kayaker, but what about my own leisure activities? How does my primary hobby, gardening, either positively or negatively impact the environment and/or society as a

Cresswell, states, “sense of place describes a complicated set of emotions and feelings that are evoked by a particular place.” (Cresswell 424). Throughout his article, Cresswell illustrates multiple different aspects of his idea of sense of place, and he also explains a multitude of different ways with which one can form an impression of place in a particular environment. Although in the latter part of the article, Cresswell begins to depict a world where “globalization has led to a reduction in the variety of senses of place and that in fact, places are becoming more or less the same as each other” (Cresswell 425). Due to globalization, people all around the world are more connected than they have ever been, and with that being said more and more places are becoming similar. Cresswell refers to these similar environments as “nonplaces,” and affirms that these “nonplaces, which are areas such as airports, shopping malls, fast food outlets, tourist sites, and transit areas” (Cresswell 425) are spreading like wildfire. Cresswell gives an example of this when he states, “A business traveler now can go to a Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam and have a meeting, stay in a Sheraton Hotel that is much like any other Sheraton Hotel, eat a pizza or Thai curry that is like and other pizza or Thai curry, and then return home without ever experiencing anything particularly Dutch or unique to Amsterdam” (Cresswell 425). This aspect of “placelessness” is emerging and spreading more and more throughout our world each and every day. It is vital for our countries, states, cities and towns to depart from creating more placeless spaces, and begin to foster more unique and homely
