Introduction
The understanding of the rationale for planning in the tourism organisation is the prime objective
in the development of tourism in a sustainable manner. The assignment here discusses the
advantage and the disadvantages of the collaboration of the private and the public sectors in the
development of the sustainable development of the tourism organisations. The different level of
planning in the sustainable development of the organisation and the impact of the customer
preferences are also discussed in this assignment.
1. Understanding the rationale for planning in the travel and tourism
1.1 Ways in which stakeholders can benefit from the planning of tourism development
Stakeholders could be defined as agencies such as tourists, private businesses, government and
local residents that aim at increasing revenues through promotion of tourist, industry. The
stakeholders such as government enjoy tax benefits whereas, private organisaions profits from
the employment under tourism industry.
As suggested by Budeanu et al. (2016, p.293), tourism can deliver short and long-term economic
development for the tourist destination selected by the country. It is evident that careful and
proper maintained consideration helps in the betterment of the destination for the tourist spot in
the country. Advantages and disadvantages go hand in hand with the development process like
the planning process for the developing of the tourist destination in countries. The decision for
the betterment of the country and the betterment of the tourist spot can lead to both positive and
negative effects. However, as argued by McComb et al. (2016, p.146), implementation and
management do not only contribute to the development of the tourist destination. Better
placement of the tourist destination also depends upon the sustainable development and
maintaining of the benefits to the customers of the society.
The implementation of the proper planning process in the tourism industry helps the stakeholders
in gaining proper recognition and faith. It is evidently seen that the proper developmental process
of the Tourism Organisation help in bringing new essence to the life of the stakeholders. As
suggested by Getz and Page (2016, p.630), the proper process of planning helps in better
coordination among the stakeholders and the Tourism Organisation in the society.

1.2 Advantage and Disadvantages of the public/private sector tourism planning with
current examples
With every development in the society dear arises both positive and negative side of the
development. As suggested by Pauw et al. (2016, p.490), the better understanding of the
advantages and disadvantages of the public and private sector tourism planning helps in the
proper and better sustainable development of the Tourism Organisation in the society. It is
evidently seen that the advantages and the disadvantages of the current development in the
Industries of tourism have marked are greater parity. However, as argued by Ndivo and Manyara
(2016, p.146), the disadvantages of planning process including both public and private sector
clashes quite a bit often. Department of Public and private organisations in the Tourism industry
has resulted in the reduction of the cost for performing of capital projects and more importantly
for maintaining the services available to the customers of the society. Increase of cultural
heritage identification and improvement of natural environment through tourism are projected as
advantages of planning through public as well as private partnerships. Availability of enough
human resources accounts for another advantage through private and public tourism planning.
The partnership between the private and the public sector in tourism planning have also resulted
in the sharing of the risk. Services could be improved in the context of the bus services with the
partnership between public and private sector in the development of the tourism industry in the
society. For instance, in the recent times, it is most observed that public-private partnerships
increase the global relationship of tourism companies with tour operators, customers and
suppliers of tourism packages. On the other hand, as argued by Fernández and Pablo-Marti
(2016, p.152), the partnership between public and private sector have resulted in the lack of
competition stuff are the result of the lack of initiative and innovation in the sector of tourism
industries. There has been an imbalance in the selection process which means in the at the
selection of the proper process and the proper maintenance skill have degraded with di
partnership between public and private sectors in the development of the tourism industry
2. Different approaches to tourism planning and development
2.1 Features of tourism planning at different levels
Planning is the basic concepts in the development of the tourism industry in the society. As
suggested by Song (2016, p.872), the basic concepts of tourism is based on better planning and
proper developmental scheme. Fall in any of the concept gives rise discrepancies in the

development of the tourism industries. Planning is one of the important and fundamental skill
required by the professionals in the tourism industries for the understanding of the next level of
development of the industry. Generally, four basic levels of planning in the tourism industry are
present as a descending order. The four levels of planning in tourism Industries namely are the
International, Regional, Local and National which forms the hierarchy to obtain the desired
objective of the tourism industry. As suggested by Boley et al. (2017, p.76), International as well
as national levels of tourism involve worldwide recognition of the tourism industry of the
specific nation. Broadly based targets for the tourism industry are achieved once supported by
International and national levels of tourism. On the other hand, local and regional includes
tourism within the districts and localities which are organised at state level tourism authorities.
Hence, for meeting tourism goals and objectives, the tourism planning are to be done at each of
the four levels in order to reach the targeted benefits and sales set by the managers and the
organisational workers.
Thus, it is evident that the different levels of planning in the Tourism Organisation support skills
development of the organisation in their own sense.
2.2 Significance of interactive planning systems and process in tourism developments
Interactive planning is defined as the process to understand current state of organisation, changes
as well as capabilities mandatory for improvement in the tourism sector. It is basically a
procedure of analysing situations within an organisation. The most eminent stage held in the
procedure involves formulation of tghe mess through understanding of the organisational state.
As suggested by Healy et al. (2016, p.582), tourism and its evolution have brought success and
development in the society, on the other hand, the evolution of the tourism have also brought
problems like congestion in traffic overcrowding and Mega-events with the socio-cultural
depreciation. The conventional planning system is too oriented to only a plan and the planning
system is unclear and sometimes souvik in the formation of the budget. As suggested by
Wiltshier and Clarke (2016, p.146), the inclusion of the interactive planning system would help
in the proper collaboration and development in the field of tourism. The sustainable development
not only describes the proper way of learning but also marks the need for the coordination and
cooperation towards the people of the society. A helping of the common people in the society
also lies in the objective of the incorporation of the interactive planning system and process. The
interactive planning system and the process do not based on books and references from past

writers and researcher. The planning system is developed with the understanding of the views
and ideas of the people in the society. The interactive plan is to make sure that the Planner covers
all the area of the communities in the society. As suggested by van Niekerk et al. (2016, p.192),
the prime objective of the interactive planning system and process in tourism development is to
maintain a proper budgeting system and to minimise the negative impact of the local
communities beliefs and Disbelief. The interactive planning also helps in the maximization of the
potential of the destination.
2.3 Methods available to measure tourist impact
The understanding of the impact and the acting in relation to the development of the satisfaction
level of consumer seems to be the prime objective of the tourism industry. As suggested by Lau
et al. (2017, p.180), the impact of the tourist can be determined with the help of economical
measures environmental measures and social measures. The measures potentially include Pro
Poor Tourism, Steam and Responsible Tourism as identified through the case of Philippines.
Pro-poor tourism could be regarded as that kind of tourism which generates certain amount of
net benefits for helping out poorer sections of the country which might be environmental, social
and cultural. It is basically considered to be a specific approach to the industry as a whole and
not as a certain definite sector. STEAM tourism takes place on the basis of imposing impacts on
modelling processes that approaches tourism measurement through the use of local data of
tourism supply and performance along with data on visitor’s collection. Responsible tourism
aims at enlightening the tourists about the sites and spots quite clearly and responsibly handle
their queries and doubts.
The environmental measures are to evaluate the cost of the environment and the impact of the
legislation on the environmental issues. As supported by Warnick et al. (2016, p.004), the
environmental measures else in the understanding of the potential risk and the potential
development activity in the society with the help of the Tourism Organisation and its
development.
The social measures help in the understanding of the socio-economic culture and the beliefs and
religious of the customers in the society. It also helps in the understanding of the test and the
preferences of the customers regarding the policies and the facilities that they want to make
themselves feel refreshed.

The economic measures help in the understanding of the economic structure of the society. The
economic structure of the society General items the income level of the customers. It is evident
that the income level of the customers is directly related to the availing of the Tourism
Organisation in the society by the common people.
3. Need for the planning of sustainable tourism
3.1 Concept of sustainability in tourism development
As supported by Cucculelli and Goffi (2016, p.381), the sustainable development is termed as
the development without compromising the future of the society and the organisation. It means
that the development of the organisation need to be so devised that the objective of the
organisation in present does not hamper the future of the society and the organisation.
Sustainable development can also be defined as the development Pg does not comprise of the
limitation for the future generation and the ability to compete with all the Incompetence in the
society. It is evident that the rise in the sustainable development and the awareness for the
incorporation of sustainable development in the organisation has gained pace. However, the
sustainable development does not only mark the environmental awareness and safety but also it
marks the development of the organisation in us proper manner so that the resources and the
skills of the people and the environment respectively do not get wasted before the stipulated
time. Achievement of the sustainable development can be discussed with the proper Savings and
proper understanding of the transport and necessity availability.

Achievement of the sustainable
development can be discussed with the
proper Savings and proper understanding
of the transport and necessity availability.

3.2 Factors that may hinder sustainable development
There are certain factors that cause hindrance in the sustainable development in any
organisation. As suggested by Dubey et al. (2017, p.65), the sustainable development can be
hindered by social barriers economic and political barriers, maintaining and evaluation
systems, institutional barriers, and trade barriers.
Out of the above-mentioned areas, the most critical areas are the Social various political
various and the port monitoring and evaluation systems. The social barriers include the
growth in the population and the unsustainable consumption of the production produced by
the society and the other organisations in the area. The political various includes the
inadequacy in the economic stability changes in the policies and the legislation in the society
also marks the hindrance in the development of the Tourism Organisation in sustainable
development. The phone monitoring and evaluation system under the sustainable
development as the monitoring of the work gets hampered. It is evident that without the
proper monitoring of the work in the organisation, comment of the organisation and the
society does not give it pays. Does paul monitoring and evaluation systems hinder the
development of the organisation in a sustainable manner.

3.3 Different stages of planning sustainability
As suggested by Yan et al. (2016, p.105), the planning of the sustainable development of the
Tourism Organisation goes through three phases. The three phases are important in the
maintaining of the stability in the planning process of the sustainable development of the
Tourism Organisation in the society. The three phases of the sustainable development of the
organisation or namely Eco efficiency and risk reduction competitive advantages and
invention and regeneration
Eco efficiencies and the risk reduction health in the identification of the impacts of the
operation by the organisation in the society is ensured. As suggested by Raymond et al.
(2016, p.8), the Eco-efficiency and the risk reduction help in the production of the waste
water and energy through a sustainable process of development in the organisation. It also
helps in the understanding of the Great sunny mitigation of the problems in the business
organisation with sustainable methods.
The comparative advantage help in the understanding of the corporate strategy of the society
the understanding of the corporate strategy of the society helps in the proper formation of the
Planning system and contingency plan for the supporting of the unfavourable situations in
future. This also helps in the inspiration of better performance and innovation within the
business organisation.
The 3rd phase that is the invention and regeneration helps in the understanding of the
business model. It provides with important information regarding vesting in the social
environment and economic capital for better return from the society and better understanding
of the development phases of the organisation.

3.3 Different stages of planning sustainability

4. Current issues related to the tourism development planning.
4.1 Methods of resolving a conflict of interest to ensure the future well being
The resolving of the conflicts through methods of negotiating, accommodating and
compromising in the field of development of the tourism organisation marks one of the most
important aspects. The conflicts are inevitable in the field of development in the Tourism
Organisation. Through compromising both the parties can gain mutual benefits through
tourism and travel services. Negotiating and accommodating are other two methods which
grow potential interests among customers for promoting growth of tourism sectors. The
sustainable development phases conflate which can be mitigated with the help of
collaboration and proper understanding among the workers of the organisations. As supported
by Shaw et al. (2016, p.397), collaboration collective action and identification of the
problems helps in the waiter mitigation of the problems as it brings the focus on to the
specific issues faced during the developmental process. Creating of awareness among the
workers of the organisation also helps in the mitigation of the conflict in the tourism
development.
4.2 Analysis of implication of balancing supply and demand
As supported by Liang et al. (2016, p.234), maintaining of buffer parity between demand and
supply are the most important aspect in the development of Enclave Tourism and Hotel
industry in the case of Philippines. Discrepancies between supply and demand in the field of
Tourism Organisation would result in the fall of the organisation. The discrepancy between
supply and demand ratios also results in the fall of the reputation of the company in the
society. The fall of the reputation of Enclave Tourism and Hotel industry further results in the
fall of the trustworthiness of the company among the customers. Hence, the parity among the
demand and supply needs to be maintained in the society for the better development chance.
4.3 Moral and ethical issues of enclave tourism
Tourism exposes the face of the host country which marks the importance of tourism in the
field of maintaining the ethical code of conduct. The understanding and implementation of
the ethical code of conduct help in better understanding of the sustainable development of the
Tourism Organisation in the society. As inferred by Weaver and Jin (2016, p.671), the recent
days have marked with the fall in the ethical consideration about the organisation workers of
the tourism development. The development of the Enclave Tourism and Hotel industry
considering case of Philippines largely depends upon the following of the article code of
contracts and maintaining of those in daily work. Ethics related to wildlife tourism is good
yet is time consuming. Two mostly heard life style epic have been received- which are

communication gap and keeping proper conduct to the customers. In some cases, various
code of conduct is not maintained in proper format which has marked in the fall of Enclave
Tourism as well as Hotel Industry. Organisation and rises in the bitter reputation of the
customers in the society.
5. Understanding socio-cultural environment and economic impacts on tourism
development
5.1 Current issues associated with tourism development in a developing country with an
emerging destination
In terms of the current issues associated with the tourism development in a developing
country, Thailand and Qatar might set examples among the tourist spots. It is evident that
Qatar has grown to be a greater tourist spot within few years but the social conditions and the
cultural conditions have produced serious issues in the development of the Tourism
Organisation in a sustainable manner. Issues such as culture erosion is observed for more
exposure to the foreign culture foe which measures like educating of tourists is required to be
taken for reducing possibility acquired through negative influences of tourists. Leakage of
worthiness in terms of currency resulting due to massive influx of TNCs (Transitional
Companies) is another considerable issue. Among the environmental issues, one basic one
counts as pollution which is inevitable at certain situations. Another developing country in
the field of tourist spot is Thailand which aims at promoting medical tourism. The low
infrastructure rate in the country poses a serious threat to the development of the sustainable
development of the tourism centre. As suggested by Mendola and Volo (2017, p.552), the
poor infrastructure marks the fall in the developing of the tourism industry in above
mentioned countries.
5.2 Recommendation for the further development in tourism destination
The proper integration of the environmental consideration and the policies would help in the
better understanding of the tourism aspects in the areas of developing nations such as
Thailand, Jordan, Bulgaria, Shanghai or Qatar. Following of the proper guidelines in the
development of the sustainable tourism in these regions may surely help in the developing of
the tourism organisation to a new level. Preservation of cultural heritage that would reflect
past histories of these regions would help to promote tourism and travel industry. The
following of the consideration as provided by the government would result in understanding
of tastes and preferences of the customers across the world who would visit the places.
Among the recommendations, the tourist spots are needed tp be promoted through

advertisements at magazines, newspapers and social networking sites to attract more of
tourists.
Conclusion
From the above assignment, it can be evidently concluded that the sustainable growth in the
field of tourism is extremely important. The achievement of the tourism organisation is
marked with the better achievement of the sustainable growth in the society. It is evidently
understood from the above assignment that the sustainable growth has helped the tourism
organisation in gaining a proper reputation among the people in the society. The following of
the proper consideration and the understanding of the taste and preference shave also helped
in the maintaining of the sustainable development in the organisation.
