Task 1(LO, AC1.1, 1.2, M1, M2, M3, D1, D2, D3)
P1.1 Discuss how stakeholders can benefit from planning of tourism developments with
reference to Qatar.
Effective development and implementation of sustainable development planning is entirely
depends on the stakeholders’ involved in the hospitality sector. Sustainable tourism
development effects on the core business processes as well as stakeholders’ involvement to
the business activities also very much dependable on the actions taken for retaining
preferences of them. Main stakeholders of Qatar include travellers, developers, employees,
management, suppliers, investors, private and public industries like government and host
community and others (Brondoni, 2016). Stakeholders also get benefits from the overall
management related decisions for the tourism development. Given are the benefits from the
planning of tourism developments with reference to Qatar,
Travellers: Sustainable tourism not only determined to develop entire business processes and
functions involved in travel and tourism industry in Qatar but also determined to provide
facilities to their travellers. As per the case study, in the previous year, almost 1.235 million
tourists crossed international borders in single year. Among them a major portion came to
Qatar for various purposes including business, leisure and adventure purposes. Predictions
are depicting the fact that by 2030, this 1.2 ratio will be reached 1.8 billion (Visitqatar.qa,
2018). Therefore, travel and tourism industry in Qatar should be careful in developing their
services so that travellers could get full benefits and comfort by visiting to this place.
Developers: According to the case study, UNWTO and QTA have arranged current year’s
World Tourism Day, which is held on 27 September and concerned about Sustainable Tourism
development. This agenda is celebrated in the line with 2017 Global Year of Sustainable Tourism
for Development as well as devoted for unfolding contribution of travel and tourism to the SDGs
(‘Sustainable Development Goals’) (Visitqatar.qa, 2018). As per this agenda, it could be said
that travel and tourism organizations should be careful in developing effective relationship with
developers related to sustainable tourism for building a good future.
Workers: As guided in the case study, Qatar is becoming one of the largest and enriched
travel and tourism attractions in terms of providence of work related environment, sports as
well as for their better infrastructure in hotels. Development in the travel and tourism services

also required an effective and productive workforce to control challenges and various
functions involved in the development process (Visitqatar.qa, 2018). Therefore, Qatar also
requires a good workforce to channelize their sustainable functions. For this reason, existing
travel and tourism businesses should take care of providing requirements and preferences of
employees. A proper planning process is needed to manage all the expectations of their
employees.
Suppliers: Suppliers of travel and tourism industry in Qatar is really important for
developing strength of functions. Suppliers help organizations in the hospitality industry to
provide customers various facilities as per their demands and trends. Maintaining proper
communications and taking care about needs of suppliers could be helpful in achieving a
customer friendly environment (Visitqatar.qa, 2018).
Investors: Investors are helpful in delivering supports and resources to the travel and tourism
industry as per their current requirements. According to the current scenario presented about
Qatar, the travel and tourism industry in this country has received around 6% growth rate in
tourist arrivals in 2012-2016 (Visitqatar.qa, 2018). This development also connected to
effective relationship with their investors. Developing and retaining this effectiveness would
help hospitality industry of Qatar in future.
Government: Government of Qatar is really responsible for taking care of the current and
future requirement of travel and tourism industry in this country. By doing this, Government
of Qatar is the capable of developing their country’s income as well as GDP. If the travel and
tourism industry works systematically by understanding governmental efforts and projects to
develop their infrastructure and functions, government of Qatar along with travel and tourism
businesses will able to attract more customers in future (Visitqatar.qa, 2018).
