The discussionswould include the overlapping attraction and their relation to the types of visitors andaccordingly helps in analysing the importance of the variety of visitor attractions present in andaround Britain. The assignment deals in depth analysis of the various theories of motivations thatallow the tourists to get interested in undertaking travel and tourism decisions. This can be doneby effectively evaluating the types of motivations and needs of the different categories of visitorswhich will, in turn, be beneficial to evaluate the impact of visitor attraction on London's tourismsector. The barriers and strategies to overcome the same will also be discussed in the currentassignment.Task 1LO1 Understanding the scope and importance of visitor attractions1.1 Discussing the overlapping of visitor attractions in regard to the particular types ofattractionThe physical attributes and resources of a place are responsible for increasing the attraction ofsite and this in influences the tourism sector of the UK or any other country for that matter. Inwords of Dewhurst and Thwaites (2014, p.272), the main category of attraction can be classifiedinto two segments. These are namely the man-made attractions and the natural attractions. TheUnited Kingdom is blessed with a natural beauty and being a hub of learning for over manycenturies, the UK can boast about the man-made marvels which increase the attractiveness of theregion to the interested and potential tourists which is a positive aspect of the UK tourismindustry.The natural beauty of United Kingdom is incredible and mysterious as well. They are surroundedwith mythologies and conspiracy theories involving giants and aliens. The serenity of Scotlandand beauty ofIreland have been recognised by many of the well-known modern as well ashistorical contemporary poets. This attracts the tourist with the stories which are just too good tobe ignored and thus, the tourists can find their peace, relaxation, experience and knowledge thatthey desire in England. These heritage sites have become the hub of activities which can engagePage 3 of 17

the travellers and do away with their inhibitions, ignorance and change their perceptions beenable to inspire and awe people are namely the Madam Tussauds wax museum, the Big Ben, theeye of London and not to mention the numerous palaces, churches and monoliths of modern artthat catch the eye of the tourists. If the tourist is staying in London, there are chances that theperson would avail the public transport or commute the distance by foot (Leask et al. 2014,p.471). This allows them to enjoy the delights of being in London. These tourists also look to getaway to more laidback and rusty environments and this presents the case of the monoliths andchurches that have myths, legends and conspiracies to them. These attributes have a specialattraction for the people who are interested in visiting these spots. The overall quality of servicethat a hospitality sector provides are also effective lures to attract the customers. Amusementparks, pubs and cafes allow the enjoy the pleasant atmosphere due to the unpredictable weather.There is more to that than meets the eye. The castles and the Queen themselves are awe inspiringwhich and are of historical significance to the British society and United Kingdoms. Irrespective of the type of tourists that visit the United Kingdom, after achieving the primaryobjective, everyone partially becomes a leisure or backpacking tourist and hence, there is anoverlapping of the tourist attractions. These overlaps have a positive as well as negative affect.According to Connell et al. (2015, p.287), all the places have something in common, the abilityto pull masses of individuals who come with a mind to relax and have a thrilling experience. Allthat is required is that the organisation involved with these sites be able to provide a platform toallow the consumers to interact with the system. This allows the overall development of thesystem which in turn is responsible for bringing economic revenues after the Brexit. Thephysical landscape, the ecosystem as well as the climatic factors play a very significant role inattracting customers.1.2 Analysing the importance of different visitor attractionsThe tourism perspectives of the country are responsible for providing jobs to the communitywhich allows the profits of the business to be used to run it. The visitors have certain demandswhen they come to a place and attractions helps to satisfy that need. The prospect domestictourism also quite bright as the local community members can be influenced to take part intravelling activities to know the beauty of mankind and nature (Wang et. al. 2016, p.312). Theseaspects of visitor attraction are what makes the sector of travel and tourism so exciting andthrilling. However, the main focus is always to attract the foreign tourist.Page 4 of 17
