1. To what extent does project management apply to Adventures Unlimited?
Each tour established by Adventures Unlimited could be considered as a single project. Each tour has the destination, and is not routine and repetitive. The project begins when the consumer and Adventures Unlimited reach the same agreement, and ends when the consumer goes back. Each tour is unique and never been taken before. That is to say, each tour has the specific time, cost, and performance requirements.
The tour, as one project, can be described in a project life cycle way (see Figure 1, Project Life Cycle adapted from Project Planning and Management 2013). The first stage is defining the tour destination and agreement or contract of the tour. And

To meet the demand of the consumer and the feasible budget, the project manager has to fully allocate the useful resources and get the same agreement with the consumer. Using the financial model and take all possible satiation into consideration to make the budget efficiency.
Another essential training is risk management. In the material, it can be found that the Rodriguezes has little effect after unexpected situation happened. The administrative may get another plan before department. Then consumers will not complain about when the tour is disturbed or the schedule is changed. In the material, the manager failed to solve the problem (train missing), and then the entire schedule was delay. If the Rodriguezes or the tour guide could book the flight in advance or make one more sightseeing plan, the problem could be remedied.
The third issue would be the communication management. The delivery of the tour would be out of consumers’ expectation. The Rodriguezes and consumer should get the same agreement about the level of quality of accommodations and price. The contract is essential to protect the right of both sides. The clear delivery of the tour information is a must, or the unpleasant consumers’ emotion may also lead to the bad reputation of the business.
The final topic is the insurance. The Rodriguezes can cooperate with the insurance company to make the consumer safe and reduce the risk of the company. Due to the healthy issue, the bad case of food
The course, examines the economical, social, political, and environmental aspects of Tourism. Students develop specialised business skills and they will have the chance to focus their studies on administrating tourism businesses, transportation, and the framework where the businesses operate (legal, political and human resources framework).
Each one of their tours is an individual project, since each has a beginning, middle, and end, which have classic project phases, including a definition or selection phase, a planning phase, and an execution phase. Project management involves budgeting of resources, and their resources include their administrative staff and tour guides. In addition, project management includes project selection: the Rodriguezes need to be able to accurately anticipate the costs of each tour that they consider undertaking, so that they may make wise decisions about which tours

For the Tour table in Figure 5 the primary key that I chose I made composite to uniquely identify the attributes related to the purchase of a tour. The composite primary key CustomerID,EmployeeID,TourName,TourDate,TourSeason for the Tour table allows this table to almost act like an invoice for each tour sale.

Markets are positioned and segmented in such a way that the main customer segments are effectively attained. This customer segments include; holiday travelers, shoppers and corporate clients on business function. In the case of ticket booking, the company reserves two-thirds of the ticket sales to those taking single seats and the rest to tour organizers and tour operators. This is aimed to increase the efficiency of ticket sales and increase sales revenues.
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.
I have been invited by Amazing Destinations as a consultant. My work that needs to be done is to analyst the organization’s existing strategic position and deep investigation of the issues that impact on company. And I need to find my way to solve those issues. According to the Amazing Destination’s scenario I have found some of the
You are a tour operator offering tours and experiences and a tourist group approaches you for a tour around your city. Write an itinerary stating all the important information like the sequence of the itinerary, the places that they will visit and how the tour will be conducted (guide, mode of transport etc).
ABSTRACT: A rapid and massive movement of tourists within a shorter span of tourist season puts a heavy pressure on tourist resources. The usage of tourist attractions is likely to be damaged beyond repair and their life span may even get shortened. In the absence of innovations or added sources of recreation, the regional tourism soon reaches its saturation point. If such a plateau stage of tourism gets prolonged, it starts cutting short the prolong stay of tourists. Some of them may not like to repeat their visits or may go elsewhere. Innovations must be talked about to pass over this stage. Encouragement of interstate package tours inclusive of the provision of budget accommodation at the wayside prime halting spots becomes obligatory. Only a National Policy can tackle the national level natural disaster which adversely affects tourism over very extensive areas. A regional policy has to take up a number of measures to avoid overcrowding at tourist places and saving them from deterioration even by co-opting private enterprise in the form of investments in socio-religious voluntary services.
I named this Conceptual Framework as the “The Descriptive Concept”. This research will show the characteristics, benefits, and the importance of a Travel Agency; it’s performance in the previous 5 years within the area of Malolos; it’s competitors and threats; and will also show how the Tourism Industry will become if without Travel Agecies. This facts will show us the significant role of the Travel
The purpose of this assignment is to learn about various practical applications of some of the component of the tourism and hospitality regulation course through the use of this case study. This case study me and my partner will make a project of building a tourism attraction has been proposed by MOTAT for the Meola Reserve at Pt Chevalier/Westmere area facing the Waitemata Harbour. This project has total investment of $50 million to complete the whole project.
The information could be collected and resulted as tour packages with some discount allowing consumers to spend their money but have a wonderful memory by going to unique attractions in the country.
