Task 1
Jim wants you to prepare a presentation th
a
t describes the economic, environmental and socio-cultural
impacts of tourism on destinations (P1). You mus
t
include examples from a range of destinations, including
towns and cities, countryside areas and coastal r
e
sorts. Your presentation must also feature examples of
destinations from the less economically developed world (LEDW) and the more economically developed
world (MEDW). At least three positive and three nega
t
ive examples should be described within each type of
impact - economic, environmental and socio-cultural. Your presentation should consider a variety of tourism
activities and developments, such as cruising, ski, special interest activities, etc., as well as regeneration
developments as appropriate to the destination.
This task is designed to provide evidence for P1.
Task 2
Jim wants you to prepare a booklet on the agents and objectives of sustainable tourism development that
could be used by government offi cials in countries that are keen to develop tourism. Your booklet should:
a.
Compare the roles and objectives of different agents of tourism deve
lo
pment (P2). You must include
at least three examples from all three sectors - private, public and voluntary, supported by information
about their different roles within tourism development.
b.
Explain the consequences of differing roles and objectives of tourism development agents in a selected
destination (M1). This must be based on a detailed investigation into a cu
r
rent or recent tourism
development in a destination of your choice. It is important that you consider t
hat
confl icts of interest
can occur, explaining how confl ict situations can develop due to differing roles and
o
bjectives of tourism
development agents.
c.
Recommend solutions to confl icting interests between different agents of tourism development (D1).
You should also consider possible preventative measures, such as the formation of tourism partnerships,
planning consultations or the formation of pressure groups. Negotiation and compromi
s
e measures
should also be included in your recommendations.
These tasks are designed to provide evidence for P2, M1 and D1.
