INTRODUCTION
Tourism is known as theory and practice of touring, which can be internationally or
within the country. It is like a major source for many countries as people travel around the world
every year. It can affect economy of both the source and host countries. Sustainable tourism is a
concept which includes visiting a place as a tourist which implies a positive impact on the
environment, society and economy (Aref, 2011). This involves generally a prime transportation
to different locations, accommodations, entertainment, nourishment and shopping. Sustainable
tourism can be linked with the concept of sustainable mobility. This includes socio-economic
aspects which consider stakeholders, government, local communities and and non-governmental
organisation. Thomas Cook is known as the founder of travel agency named Thomas Cook &
Son. It is a travel company which provides various schemes related to travelling. In the year
1872, this company formed a partnership with John Mason Cook who is his son. Their shop
usually contains accessories which include guide books, luggage, telescope and footwear. In this
report, there will be discussion on how stakeholders are being benefited from planning of
tourism, advantages and disadvantages of public and private sector regarding their partnership as
well as development of planning in different levels (Bramwell and Lane, 2011).
TASK 1
1.1 Explain planning of tourism developments provide benefit to stakeholder.
Government of Philippine has promote their tourism sector to generating revenue for
country. Government has preparing plan and strategies for developing core area of country, they
will recruit people for increase profits (Carlsen and Butler eds., 2011). The travel and tourism
sector are promote social and culture environment of the country, and they have concentration
on people who living in coastal and rural area. Many type of private tourism company have
work in this field they all have contribute to developing tourism in Philippine country.
Government have joint hand with other tourism organizations for promoting tourism in all over
the world. In the government tourism department many worker have work to promote tourism, in
2016 approx 300 employees are work in this department. Not only the government department
but also stake holders of accommodation industry are contribute such as hotels sales and
marketing, association international (HSMAI), Philippine travel agency association (PTAA),
1

Philippine association of conventional/exhibition organizers and supplier (PACEOS), Philippine
airlines etc (Chon, 2013).
Travel and tourism industry of Philippine are developing very fast because country are
continuously promoting this sector and that is why jobs are generating, approx 4.98 million job
opportunities are create for Philippians through this sector. Average industry growth are
continuously increase government has prepare plan to increase their market share by 12.5% in
tourism industries. Government make strategies for marketing and branding their tourism area,
they will introduced “' National tourism development plan 2016-2022” for future growth in this
sector. They will prepare effective pricing polices and economic package for attract large
customer. Almost 12.5% people of Philippine are attach with this sector work. Many stakeholder
are involve in this planing and strategies government are think about all this stakeholder interest
and provide profit safety to other private organizations. They will help out to make joint
partnership of execution of plan and policies (Dowling, 2014).
1.2 Explain Advantage and disadvantages of private sector tourism planing partnership.
Philippians country have promote their tourism industries through under water
photography. Many of other country tourist have attract toward under water corals and they will
enjoy this kind adventure. This is the core are of tourism in Philippians. Government have make
plan to achieve sustainable tourism development in country for this they will promote their
strategies with other private sector organizations (Duval and Smith, 2013).
Advantages: Through tour and travel industry government have promote employment in
rural and coral area. Income of current employees are increase because total foot fall are increase
in this sector. Social and culture environment of the country are give advantages, most of the
government planing are depend on these factors because this is the key area where tourist have
curiosity to learn and see new culture and environment of the country. Through development of
this sector government have provide help to develop total country economy. Therefore
government are prepare strategies for improving tourism industry current status and increase
market share from 7.5% to 12.5% in 2022 (Hinch and Higham, 2011).
Disadvantages: Through developing tourism sector government have use their own
resources. Natural resources are limited, government has over utilized of nature resources and
face many problem. Photograph under water and touching corals have create negative impact on
2

environment. Pricing strategies of the Philippians government has create scarcity in small firms,
TASK 2
2.1 At different levels investigating characteristic of tourism development planning.
Government have developing their tourism sector through attracting new customer or
tourist in summer time at country. Government have provide safety and security to tourist,
mostly to those who are come from other country's. Government of Philippians country have use
three different stage of tourism are as follows:
National tourism: In this level government are promote their tourism sector for country
people. They will make strategies and planning to promote their sector within country. For this
they will establish new pricing for home people mostly this is low from price fix for other
country tourist. Very less number of the tourist in Philippians are home people so that
government have save their interest also that increase profitability for the country. Philippians
government has plan to improve their services and hospitality of the industry (Jamal and
Camargo, 2014).
International tourism: In Philippians many of tourist are come form other country.
Government have prepare plan to attract these international tourist and maintain revenue and
increase international market share. Government of Philippians are already make strategies and
plan of discover opportunities at market and attract large number of tourism in country.
Government make strong security and safety planing for outside tourist so that tourist are feel
safety and enjoy their trip with out any problem (Látková and Vogt, 2012).
Facility or at the site level: Government have provide many types of facility to their
tourist like safe and secure accommodation facility, quality in transportation, hygienic food and
variety, lodging comfort etc. Every sector like food, hospitality, hotels, cloths, transportation etc.
are directly effected by tourism industries. Government of Philippians are make strategies for
controlling these all facility because this directly create impact on tourist and they will make
perception toward country. For positive perception government prepare rule and regulation to
serve services to other country tourists. Very service provide in Philippians are follow this rule
and regulation (Mowforth and Munt, 2015).

2.2 Measurement importance of interactive planning systems and processes in tourism
developments.
Interactive planing mean prepare plan for future in consideration of present scenario.
Government have analysis present situation and prepare future plan, for this they will use
forecasting techniques and make strategies for gain profit in future. Today plan are give result in
future so that is why government focusing present situation. This planing have consider three
types of other planing one is instance reactive planing second is proactive planing and three is
inactive planing. In this interactive planing are more focus on present scenario of the industries.
They will settled on future belies, that provide more future responses and responsibilities of the
government. Only when future plan are success when present scenario are in good condition.
Interactive planing is a continuous process of making planing for future according to present
scenario. Stakeholder are also involve in this interactive process for developing better future for
tour and travel industries at Philippians country (Nelson, 2012.).
This planing are very important for Philippians tourism sector because natural and culture
environment are directly involve and effected. Many type of strategies are develops by
government for attracting consumers in future, that strategies are build positive image in
consumers mind, that increase reputation on tourist department. No one plan and polices are
fully implemented within a year, government tourist department have can not change everything
with in one year for new planing to promotion of tourist industries.
Necessity of interactive planing: Interactive planing are very important for Philippians
government for develop things. Because that provide help to government in making strategies for
future. Interactive planing help marketer to promoting manufacturing product and services for
tourist. This provide profitability to manufacturing industries as well as services industries.
Interactive planing process provide help to development process for marking and understanding
of tourist needs and wants. This planing provide safety and security to tourist at Philippians
country (Salazar, N. B., 2012).
2.3 Explain various methods available to evaluate tourist impact.
Philippians tourist department have use different type of evaluating method some are as
follows:
Economic evaluation: Philippians government have improve country economic status
through developing strategies for tourism sector, its provide profit to organizations, that help to
4

increase total revenue of the country. The economic mensuration are show that, government are
effectively implemented tourist strategies and planing for generating profitability and revenue.
The tourist sector are provide opportunists to improve economic condition of Philippians. They
will help out to make best business strategies and tax benefits (Scott, D., 2011).
Environment evaluation: government and other tourist department have analysis the
environment for making policies and plan. Environment evaluation are very Important for tourist
industries because that is provide information regarding future requirement and scenario. They
have analysis different environment activities and find out their impact on tourist industries. That
provide reporting of future risk and economical imbalance and make proper strategies to resolve
this. Nature are utilize for developing tourism, so that through environment evaluation
government are provide compensation for damages.
Social evaluation: Social and culture are effected by tourism industries. That help to
provide measurement of socioeconomic effect on tourism. The nature of operation are qualitative
and subjective (Sofield, T. and Li, S., 2011).
TASK 4
4.1 Methods for resolving conflicts for the well-being of developing tourism destination
Conflict arises when different stakeholders have various objectives to attain any goal. It is
the key role of government and non-governmental organisations that they resolve all problems
for successful implementation of sustainable tourism development. Their motives should be that
nobody is violating ecological environment and no tensions are there between stakeholder and
local communities is there. Here are some of the methods through which they can resolve
conflicts which are as follows:
Negotiation: It is the basic method for solving any problem. It includes communication
and interaction between two groups which are fighting. Negotiation helps them to have a fair
deal which both the groups agree so that no more trouble will be there. It has a positive impact
on both the parties as their interest is not sacrificed to achieve the outcome (Carlsen and Butler
eds., 2011).
Mediation: It is a voluntary process in which mutual understanding is there. Both the
organisations actively participate in discussion so as to find a solution. As a result, large
companies offer job opportunities to local communities so that problem will get resolved.
5

Sometimes, for a mediator, it is very difficult to handle the situation as there are some
limitations. In order to increase visitors and boost their economic development, they have to
modify and fulfil all the requirements regarding same.
Social: This may lead to the disturbance in society and drawback of this will be that it
may ruin image of any country which will hamper social aspect of any community.
Economical: Earning of the country is affected by tourism and if there is an increase in
number of conflicts, tourists may not visit the place where there is conflicting nature.
4.2 Implications of balancing supply and demand
Demand: Demand and supply are correlated with each other and if supply increases,
demand will also get raised and vice-versa. Demand is what which is basically requirement of
buyers of any particular products. In context to tourism, demand is the total number of travellers
travelling to any place and with an increase of this, tourist's opportunities also get raised. It can
be calculated by examining the consumption done by any visitor related to tourism. Thus, people
acquiring more beds and food consumption in restaurants can increase the demands and
opportunities.
Supply: Supply can be said as a mixture of all attractions which are available to tourists
in their respected destinations. This involves sectors related to hospitality, transport and
attractions in destinations. Supply in tourism helps them in shaping its demand. It is the amount
of potential of attracting more tourists to any locations.
4.3 Moral and ethical issues of enclave tourism
Enclave tourism can be said as to be a activity which is undertaken by a small group in a
geographical area which helps visitors to satisfy their intension entirely. This activity is mostly
undertaken by government so that they can provide more benefits to tourists in limited resources.
There is an increase in competition among the service providers which is relatively high because
of highly concentrated market. Thus, this tourism is related to activities which are enclosed and
are conducted in small areas. Visitors are not allowed to travel to remote areas which involves
islands, resorts or undiscovered areas (Wray, 2011). The main problem of which is associated
with this tourism is lack of communication and interactions between individuals. Here are some
of the ethical and moral issues which has an impact on this field are as follows:
6

Enclave areas in Philippines remained restricted as there is no interaction between tourist
and local people this may leads to slow increase in their economy. And the local communities
who are living there are not getting any benefits because of low number of tourist travelling in
their areas. This has affected their cultural and heritage and these are the actual attraction for
visitors. Travellers are very restricted to certain areas which somehow gradually reduce the
number of visitors. Increase in illegal activities like prostitution, smuggling are taking place due
to excess demands of tourists (Aref, 2011).
TASK 5
5.1 Comparison and its impact of current issues associated with tourism development in
developing country
Tourism department of any country significantly help and contribute in their economy
directly or indirectly. Tourism directly contributed around 3.4% of GDP in the year 2016 which
was apparently raised to 2.9% in 2017. Government of Philippines have implemented sustainable
tourism development which has increased job opportunities to around 1,600.0 here are some of
the impacts in different aspects:
Economical Impacts: Tourism directly or indirectly have a great impact on economy it
assist them in increasing their revenues through international and domestic tourism. Scope of
employment opportunities are raised for the people who are working in this sector. Countries
cultural heritage is the main element which attract more and more people into their destination
(Chon, 2013).
Socio-cultural aspects: Socio-cultural is the most important aspect in any tourism
development. Culture of different countries assist them in integrating the standard of living of
any area where tourists are visiting. Country with good cultural background have a positive
aspects as there will be more people who bother to know about all these things.
Environmental and seasonal aspects: This is one of the main aspects which tourist
think in their mind while travelling to certain places. They see whether that particular
environment will suit their health or not. It can be negative point with reference to natural
environment people may not agree to go to place which are located in remote areas (Dowling,
2014). Season is other reason which affect the visit of visitors in a particular place. Company has
7

to identify a specific period of time when there will be increase of tourist it may be during
winters, autumn.
Tourism at developing nations and their emerging destinations:
Economy and development is very essential to build tourism in a particular country or
destination. Developing and developed nations both are different from one another. When we
compare those destinations which are developed grow in a faster pace whereas developing
slowly increase their economy. According to World Bank, IMF countries are divided into two
categories in terms of tourism. It is based on GDP per capita income of any of developed
countries (Duval and Smith, 2013).
Tourism in Ireland: Ireland comes into the category of developing nations. It is also
known as Republic of Ireland. Around 7.3 million people visit this country in the year 2014
which is approximately 1.6 times of Ireland's population. Cities which are most visited are
Dublin, Limerick, Cork, Galway and Waterford. There are many coastlines and resorts. Cultural
destruction is one of the main reason because of which there can be lack of tourist as they don't
speak other than Irish language which creates a communication barrier between them.
Comparison with Philippines, Ireland's GDP is relatively high which affects the number
of visitors in that country. As compared to Philippines, Ireland is more developed nations and in
international market its value id bigger than other country. People prefer to go to these places as
there they can get to know about various destinations (Hinch and Higham 2011).
5.2 Recommendations for future development of tourism in Philippines
Although Philippines is a developed nation and tourism also help them in increasing their
GDP and economy. Through conventional tourism planning they can make new policies which
focuses on attracting more people. Their main aim should be on satisfying the tourist without
harming natural resources. They can also use traditional marketing approach to promote tourism
in their country. Their main purpose should be provide visitors to enjoy the mountains, forests,
islands etc., economy should be the main concern and tourism should be sustainable. Three main
areas which needs to be focused are Environmental: in this factor they should ensure that they
can reduce wastage of water and energy. Awareness should be there among all the members who
are travelling. This will reduce a negative impact on bio diversity (Weaver, D., 2011). Social is
another factor decision making should be supported by all in order to create a friendly tourism
environment. Under this equal treatment with each other is included, prohibition of child labour
8

must be implemented. Economic aspect is related to country's employment tourism increases job
opportunities for people living there. Government has to implement certain plans so that they can
use foreign currencies in the path of development (Wray, 2011).
CONCLUSION
From the above report we can conclude that in certain aspect Sustainable tourism has to
be given importance which includes socio-economic and business environment. Involvement of
stakeholders is very crucial because they work as mediator between local communities and
government officials they assist them in reducing conflicts between two groups. Sustainability
can bring on real economy and gives environmental protection and also safe our natural
resources. Interest level of stakeholders can act as a barrier towards sustainable development
plan because different views can have may outcomes regarding any project.
