2OPERATING IN THE GREAT BARRIER REEF
Great Barrier Reef is one of the major tourist attractions of Australia. It is one of the most
valuable and precious gifts of nature. It displays a beautiful and thrilling marine life blended with
the best gifts of nature. It attracts millions of travelers both from the local and the international
levels. Apart from the soothing natural flora and fauna, one can also enjoy many adventures on
the Great Barrier Reef (Lance 2016).
The business segment selected from the hospitality industry is the lodging sector. This is
one of the most important sectors as the Whitsundays attract a major amount of tourists every
year. So, all the tourists will surely look for a comfortable place to stay. As the times are
changing so are the needs and demand of the travelers. It is for this reason that the different
lodging facilities at Whitsundays have provided many options to the tourists there are hotels,
motels and also facilities of bareboating, self-contained stays in the cabins surrounded by the
tropical flora and fauna of the Airlie Beach, national parks, gardens and many other such unique
and trilling options (Great Barrier Reef 2018).
Lodging at the Whitsundays can be one of the best ways for promoting environmental, social and
economic sustainability at the same time. The local farmers can b appointed to set up some
farmland areas where they can display and also sell the locally grown fruits and vegetables of the
island. The a la Carte restaurants can take fresh fruits, vegetables meat, fish, spices and all other
such ingredients from the local farmers (Ryan et al. 2016). Fooding is one of the essentials that
the tourists will look for in the hotels where they are staying. The flame tree tourist village is a
beautiful resort in the midst of the nature that provides the tourists a blissful experience. The
local people can be appointed to take care of the garden surrounding the resorts and they can also
act as tour guide into the national park and the camping adventures as well. The local people can
very well manage the local flora and fauna as well (Cheer and Lew 2017).
