The eruption in Reykjanes a year ago was often called a tourist eruption. Now that the eruption is over and perhaps temporarily, various lessons can be learned from what happened in future policy-making if another eruption similar to this happens. The flow of people to see the eruption became enormous. This caused a variety of problems. A micro-queue on the road led to delays. Problems with parking meant that visitors had to park far away and walk long distances to get to the eruption. A large number of people also reduced the stillness of nature and thus reduced the impact of the eruption exhibition for many. Discuss the economic problem here and the nature of the quality that the road to the eruption site, the ability to lay nearby and the area to watch the eruption with experience in mind reflect. At the same time, consider the quality classification in general. What economic solutions are available to enhance people's experience and reduce the impact of the above so that people's experience of a tourist eruption like this can be enhanced?

Theme parks are considered a staple family attraction worldwide, known best for their rides and rollercoasters that appeal to thrill-seeking children and adults alike. Its success and profitability are maintained by installing more daring rides and appealing to popular cultural figures and franchises. However, due to the nature of theme park rides, the results can be incredibly serious when something goes wrong, and the stakes for theme park managers in ensuring the safety of their facilities are very high. Over the years, failure to comply with health and safety regulations, poor management systems, and mechanical defects have led to unfortunate incidents on various rides and rollercoasters, resulting in serious consequences.
