The Effect of World Heritage Site Designation on Sustainability of Tourism in Bath

The Bath tells a story of an elder lady whose husband has died and lives alone. She deals each day with the physical struggles of ageing. The story explores the current problem of the growing elder population who are living longer and the danger and struggle they go through living alone.

It is in a perfect world situated in the heart of the East End in the city and for voyagers it does offer wide range of luxury hotels in London. This building is presently unused, however initially utilized as a showroom for the building material and tiles for the organization. The building was being used in 1960s. In addition, now this building is transformed into a scene for craftsmanship presentations on a vast scale, yet it is an impermanent

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.

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.

The house is architecturally significant because it is one of the last examples of a simple, two- storey stone house on the gold fields. It was built in two sections, the single storey being built in 1856 had a symmetrical front facade of local coursed sandstone rubble and dressings to openings. The second section being built in 1861 was built to match the earlier part of the house with the same materials being used. Across the first floor there is an elegantly detailed cantilevered timber balcony with a hipped concave roof and with two French windows opening into it. Cantilevered balconies used to be common in Bendigo, but they are now rare, thus giving the people of Bendigo a visual of how buildings have changed throughout the years, making it a significant part of history. Along with the architectural significance is the historical significance, as it is among the few that was documented as being run as a brothel in the nineteenth century. Again this building is not an Antique or a Shrine as it is a piece of vital evidence about the past, and how houses were built and what materials were mainly used in past times which also demonstrates the evolution of Australia’s

Hadrian’s villa plan is vast, stretching across the landscape covering more around 300 acres, with which are four major axis located attempting to assist at the density of the villa, but the multiplicity of arrangement in final assembly continuously amazes and is shocking when taken in the context of villa architecture at the time. William MacDonald and John A. Pinto in their former book, Hadrian’s Villa and Its Legacy (1995), cover the villa in great depth. They admit to an “impression of disorder . . . as though a great house had come apart,” but in their final analysis they find great order and beauty, not in the geometry of the overall plan, but in the “successive experiences” of the gardens and structures. MacDonald and Pinto suggest that the villa is like a “laboratory” in where Hadrian could experiment and express with his personal interpretations of cultures, religions and physical environment that made up his own mind. The unique curvilinear architecture of Tivoli with its spirited clash of concave and convex shapes, its circular colonnades, its concrete vaults and domes shimmering with glass mosaic was everywhere, enlivened with the sparkle of pools, fountains, cascades and canals and further enhanced by Hadrian’s collection of figure sculptures. Moreover, his keen historical

The remains of one such Roman architectural achievement, was unearthed in Durrës, Albania in 1966 (Bowes and Mitchell, 2009:570; Bowes et al., 2003:381; Ponce de Leon, 2013:3; UNESCO, 2004:34). The Roman amphitheater happens to be the largest in the Balkans, and contains several frescos, which helped to track Christianity as it spread throughout the region (Jacques, 1995:154; Ponce de Leon, 2013:3). Currently this remarkable stadium is “under consideration” from UNESCO as a World Heritage site. Unfortunately, the impact of urban sprawl, Albania’s poor economy, and time, are not helping to maintain this cultural relic.

The wife of Bath has experienced many things in life. She has been to many places, while

Tourism can be one of the most destructive forces facing archaeological sites and their conservators. Tourists can cause damage by disregarding signs prohibiting touching or littering. Parts of sites may need to be manipulated or even destroyed to allow for visitor access. Striking a balance between allowing the public to interact with a site and preserving it is very difficult. Some sites, like Bet She’an in Israel, give tourists the freedom to touch monuments and even climb onto them to give the visitors authentic experiences, despite the damage it causes. Others, like Pompeii in Italy, keep tourists within certain bounds to protect the sites. This paper examines the advantages and disadvantages of replicating archaeological sites as

Britain has been over the news due to the British exit the European Union, which this event is known as Brexit (Hunt, 2016). This decision brought a large impact on every country in Britain, but the Britain has not started negotiate with European Union about adapting regulations to minimize their negative consequences. Before people can list potential impacts of Brexit on Britain’s tourism, it is important for people to understand how well the Britain was doing in the tourism industry. In addition, it is important to analyze and understand what type of tourism impacts on Britain. So, people would know how Brexit will change its policy and what impacts will bring to their current life. It will provide an idea of how the changes of regulations will impact different countries and the region. Thus, it provides an understanding of how tourism helps to develop the Britain in terms of environmental impacts, socio-cultural impacts, and economic impacts.

Through an examination of the visitors’ appreciation for the site and an analysis of the preservation issues of Hosios Loukas Monastery, I hope that I can offer an insight into the current attitude of Greek authorities about cultural heritage management, especially for living sites, as this monastery is. I conducted this research through a questionnaire for the site´s visitors in order to examine their perception of the monastery’s importance. I also interviewed Mr. Kosmitis Taxiarches, one of the monastery’s representatives, who works inside the monastery and lives in the local community of

It’s quite a difficult task to pick the best heritage sites from a wide selection of 25. But we wanted to make sure the attractions include a site from each of the countries in the UK: from Scotland, Wales, England and Northern Island. We also added a bonus attraction from the capital city of the UK, London.

Due to the fact that building a tourist destination requires lots of resources, especially the soft and hard infrastructure of a destination which are relatively important to a destination in terms of its attractiveness to tourist, proper tourism planning had to be done beforehand in order to deliver such infrastructures. Especially iconic buildings which required a certain amount of time in order to be completed, usually required large amount of planning in order to assure the infrastructures are to be completed in time in order to fit into the timeline of the project and whole master plan. It is therefore crucial in delivering the infrastructure in the stipulated timeline of the destination in order to accommodate to the tourist.

This essay will discuss whether international organisations have an important role to play in the planning and development of tourism. Using relevant examples of international organisations such as UNWTO and UNESCO, this essay will analyse how these types of organisations contribute towards the planning and development of tourism. By using Gran Canaria, Serbia, Bosnia, Croatia and the UK as case studies, the essay will produce a clear analogy of how international organisations get involved to help plan, develop and preserve tourist destinations in the hope of a more sustainable future.
