TASK 1
1.1) Stakeholders benefiting from tourism development planning.
TDP (Tourism Development Planning) can be stated as process which includes

1.2) Advantages and Disadvantage of public/private sector in TDP.
In terms of Philippines, public and private sector tourism planning plays a vital role in
sustainable developing of tourism sector. It helps in attaining desirable goals as well as raises
employment opportunities like reduces crime, raise in labour income etc. all these directly or
indirectly uplifts quality life of tourists an local community of Philippines.
However, public/private tourism planning refers to as collaboration among public and
private sector in order to gain long term sustainability goals in the cut throat competitive world.
This indirectly motivates them to use resources of Philippines like, natural resources, heritage,
human resource, infrastructure etc. in effective manner so that in the coming years there is no
shortage of available resources (Benur and Bramwell, 2015). Moreover, partnership with private
and public various sustainable project of Philippines is completed cost effective way. This type
of partnership raises new financial resources in order to develop or uplift complete tourism
industry.
There are certain limitations of which has created negative impact on sustainable of
Philippines which are explained as follows:

beauty which aid in allocating sustainability growth as well as more revenue for the economy.
This is mandatory for tourism field to frame out plans, tactics and policies so that tourist can be
pulled at a large scale (Bramwell, 201). When tourist come it's the particular nations
responsibility to provide then adequate safety and other facilities like, accommodation,
transportation so that they feel secure and make up mind to visit again and gain. The features at
several level of planning within tourism are explained as follows:
International level: In this Philippines should develop roads, hotels, transportation and
hospitals and so on other facilities so that tourism programmes can be raised at a rapid scale. In
order to increase customer base of international tourist they have to make modification in their
current polices as well as in plans.

values, heritage etc. in order to gain visitors attention towards their destination place Philippines
so that they make up their mind to visit this places as well. By doing so market value will be

National Level: Philippines should modify the plans and policies designed in order to
attract customers from national level. If the structure, geographical area etc. are feasible to them
and are satisfying the emerging needs of the customers then customers interest level raises
automatically to visit the destination Philippines.
2.2) Explain and examine the significance of interactive planning system and processes.
Interactive planning can be stated as tactics, policies and plans which are configured for
attaining objectives in organized manner. Here, are several interactive planning systems such as,
inactive, instance and proactive all this plays a significant role in tourism development sector.

The significance of interactive planning systems in tourism development are explained as
follows:
 Through this planning it can not harm surrounding by over extraction of resources.
 By adopting policies and strategies given by interactive planning it helps corporation in
gathering huge profits (Carr and Whitford, 2016).
 The effectivenesses of interactive planning can be raised when investors share their hands
in their decision which will leads to accomplishment of set targets on time.
Philippines heritage, culture, natural beauty etc. are eye catching which indirectly raises
customer base for the destination. Several events are conducted in this particular destination
which is boosting the tourist increment in positive way. So, it can be said that interactive
planning is helping nation by generating huge revenue which can be used for growth and
development.
2.3) Study tourism impact and examine several methods to measure those impacts.
Economic Impact: In today's era tourism is increasing day by day due to which
improvement can be seen in economic condition of country in terms of finance. Here, the
governing bodies of Philippines should step forward in protecting natural beauty, culture ,
historical places and heritage (Zamfir and Corbos, 2015). However, this helps in decreasing
unemployment of country as well as raise living standard of people in the society. Moreover, the
impact can be measured by Economic Influence Model it is instrument which measure impact on
particular nation. This render information in context of number of jobs, power of visitor etc. in
Philippines.
Environment Impact: Here, the governing bodies of Philippines has invested immense
monetary amount in saving natural resources for the up coming future generation. It is taken as
tool in order to measure hazards resources which is non-renewable so that resources can be
saved for future. However, It directly or indirectly pull huge number of visitors at Philippines
destination which is full of natural beauty, heritage, culture etc.

TASK 3
3.1) Explain the concept of sustainability in tourism development.
Sustainability in tourism development refers to as process of developing practices which
includes improving conditions of heritage, natural beauty of particular place. The main focus of
this is optimal utilization of environmental resources , ensuring long term economic operations in
several aspects of tourism in Philippines. It aid in achieving emerging requirements of host

Philippines can measure their sustainability in various terms with the help of triple bottom line.
3.2) Discuss hinder and prevent sustainable tourism development .
In today's world travel and tourism is important industry as it impact country and people in the
society in both positive and negative way. Here, are some of the factors which can prevent hinder
sustainable tourism development and are discussed as follows:
Crimes and Terrorist Attacks: In the 21st century the raising numbers of crime and
terrorists attacks in the world traveller cancel their plan for destination. However, government
of Philippines plays crucial role in development of tourism and rendering safety to tourist at
every place. The raising ratio of crimes and terrorist attacks are effecting industry as well as
profitability ratio.
Safety Issues: Safety issues are essential to hinder sustainable tourism development in
specific nation. Moreover, Philippines governing bodies does not provide safety and care to
5

tourist then it will impact the business in negative way. However, if tour operators fail to meet
customer emerging expectations in the market then it will affect the business in terms of
accommodation, transportation and others (Edgell, 2016).
High Cost: This is considered as major factor which hinders sectors as middle and lower
class people or travellers does not afford in taking facilities provided. Due to this, there is no
proper development of tourism sector in nations.
The above discussed issues hinder development of tourism sector. In this case it is
directly impacting Philippines because of crime, safety issues and high cost travellers deny to
make plan for the destination. It can decrease value of those destination which are creating
unemployment issues in the nation.
3.3) The various stages in planning for sustainability.
Here, are distinguished steps in planning sustainability tourism development which are
explained as follows:
Step 1: In this step long or short term plans are framed on a piece of paper in effective
manner. Here, such type of work is done by tourism firm and planning is made as per the goals.
Philippines should make both small and long term plans so that they can meet set targets on time.
Step 2: Here, several stakeholders are identified who can invest funds in the firm.
Philippines is highly preferred tourist destination so it very mandatory top search out investors
who can develop this place in order to raise number of tourist.
Step 3: In this case particular place is taken for development in the country in terms of
heritage, natural beauty, culture. Museums etc. all this attract travellers more towards the
destination. Philippines can build their parks, natural beauty which will directly raise customer
base for the destination (Farmaki and Hilke, 2015) .
Step 4: In the fourth step issues and threat are figured out so that better plan can be
designed by corporation. Moreover, if any obstacles are found then Philippines should take
immediate step to improve the performance by framing effective tactics and policies in order to
raise number of tourist at the destination.
Step 5: In this case problems are raised while doing development and frame strategies in
order to resolve them. Various strategies are made in order to resolve the problems in effective
manner.
6

Step 6: Here, the designed policies and strategies are executed in systematic manner so
that issues can be resolved. Philippines should implement the policies and tactics by taking in
consideration the current and present demands of the tourist.
4.1) The various ways to resolve conflict of interest to ensure well being of developing tourism
destination.
Conflict arises each and every sector in an organization. Due to this productivity level
decreases at a rapid scale as well as effective employees turn out ratio increases. The various
issues arises in an business which can be handled by taking effective decision on the initial stage.
Firm can share hands to make collaboration with other for better execution of plans and
strategies so that conflicts can be managed accordingly (Mowforth, and Munt, 2015) Philippines
governing bodies should take initiative in resolving conflicts as well as promoting development
of tourism. Here, are certain methods which help in development are explained as follows:
Negotiation: Negotiation is the method for resolving conflict in tourism developing
destination. However, in negotiation all private and government cooperate work with each other
and take discussion for solving issues which raised due to conflicts.
Mediation: Mediation is done for solving problems of tourism development. In this case
middle path takes decisions which provide benefits to both private and public industries.
Philippines government need to promote local authority and motivate them for doing the job in
tourism sectors such as accountant, guide, secretary.
4.2 Implications of balancing supply and demand
Demand can be explained as requirement of goods and services required for developing
tourism sector. Whereas, supply can be stated as how much market can offer to consumers. So ,
proper balance among demand and supply of goods and services should be there. Moreover, in
travel and tourism sector the proper coordination among each other should be there for best
results. Additionally, the internal and external surrounding of Philippines need to be analysed so
that best results can be achieved after observing their pros and cons. So for balancing supply and
demand proper examination of consumers’ demand and respectively supply service deliver to
tour operators for them in the global market (Poudel and Budruk, 2016).

4.3) Examine the ethical issues of enclave tourism
In 21st century, travel and tourism industry are facing both moral and ethical problems
which are affecting business culture directly and indirectly. Here, moral issues faced by
Philippines is of lack of facilities, treating tourist in ineffective manner, discrimination among
white and black people. Due to which Philippines is not able to raise number of tourist because
of improper treatment with customers (Sharpley and Telfer,2015). Additionally, ethical issues
can be related with social inequality, Philippines is not able to the requirement of tourist then
market values decreases at a rapid scale. Moreover, these issues are common for all tourist
destination across the globe. It indirectly leads to moral and ethical issue due to which goodwill
of that place declines.
TASK 5
5.1) Compare current issues associated with tourism development in a developing country and an
emerging destination where the impacts of tourism are different
Issues Philippines Columbia
Economic Issues Philippines has low funds to
invest in cultural heritage,
parks etc. So in this case they
should search out investors or
stakeholders who can invest in
Philippines in order to develop
and raise tourist numbers.
Columbia people has low
power of liquidity and unstable
financial statements which is
impacting profitability ratio
tremendously. By controlling
and planning this problems can
be solved effectively.
Environmental Issues Here, Philippines face certain
obstacles affiliated with
environment in terms of hot
weather and harmful gases.
Columbia has adequate
resources like, land, labour and
capital but proper utilisation of
this has not been done so it
indirectly impact environment.

5.2) Recommendation for up coming development of tourism
Organization has different plans, policies and strategies which can assist in getting best
solution to issues which has created obstacles in development of Philippines . Moreover, the
resources should be utilised properly to get effective results. Here, Various legal authorities has
developed rules and regulations related with tax payments, exchange rates and others to get
solution to problems. However, the stakeholder of respective destination plays effective role in
finding solutions and cooperating among operators for achievement of goals and objectives
(Rodrigues and Peroff, 2015).
In case of Philippines distinguished problems arises due to which tourist deny to visit the
location from the past years. Here, government of the country provides safety to the tourist so
that they can feel free to visit the place . It can be done by providing facilities like, hospitals,
transportation, hotels etc.
CONCLUSION
From the above it can be concluded that travel and tourism contributes in economic
development by generating huge employment opportunities. Private and public relations should
be healthy so that their demands can be fulfilled accordingly. Comparison between two places
has been done to understand the destination. Moreover, various ethical issues and their resolution
is studied so that more tourist can be attracted. Also, governing bodies should take initiative in
reducing conflicts which is arising in an firm so that objectives can be achieved on time.
