INTRODUCTION
In today's era, travel and tourism sector is growing day by day. People are travelling from
country to other for different purpose such as enjoyment, education, short trip, world tour,
business etc. This is because the means of transportation have increased and people feel
comfortable while travelling. It is the fastest growing sector in the world and due to that
international transactions have increased with that there is increase in national income of the
country. In simple world sustainable tourism is growth or increase in the tourism sector in such a
way that different organisation and countries have started earning and reduce in damage of
economy, environment and society. In this presented report, characteristics of planning in
tourism have been discussed. Other than that it also includes importance of interactive planning
systems and process has also addressed. With that different approaches of tourism planning and
development have been known with the need for planning sustainable tourism.
Task 1
1.1 How stakeholders can benefits from planning of tourism developments with reference to case
study.
The stake holders are the people who take the self interest in the organisation which may
indirectly influence the decision of the forms. This can be in context of growth of the business
sustainability, stake holders are involved in the planning of their tourism development in which
the befits will be given to the tourist. They are the key person who maintain the relationship with
them. In the Philippines, its major stakeholders as they affect to the demand and supply of the
country as they already have economic crisis (Getz, and Timur, 2012). But due to the tourism
development they are able to manage their economic condition as well the society development.
To over look at the tourism demand the Philippine s government need to involve the stakeholder.
Important stakeholder for the Philippines are as follows:
Tourist/Audiences: this industry is depend on the tourist and the audiences it refers to
the people who are interested to come in the nations or the internal people who are involve in the
countries development. If the tourist are not interested than the economic condition of the nation
will be affected. So to develop the Philippines they have to develop some destinations.
Local residence: for the benefit of the local residence the tourism development planning
should be in the context of them. Local directness are the important person for the tourism
1

development in the Philippines. They can earn the income for their livelihood from the tourism
locations.
Government: policies made by the government of Philippines will be reflected in the
tourism development planning in which countries development can be made and the economic
conditions can be more better with their polices (Dimitrovski, Todorović and Valjarević, 2012).
Also partnership in between private and public sectors for development of the tourism can be
helpful.
1.2 Advantages and disadvantage of public and private sector tourism planning partnerships
drawing on a current example.
Public Private Partnership advantages:
 Cost reduction: it can be reduce the cost with public private partnership in the tourism
sector planning. Also the cost which has to be incurred by government on the services
that may be easily maintain (Dabphet, Scott, and Ruhanen, 2012.). Due to such
partnership government is able to sustain the economy cost.
 Risk share: with the PPPs the government can share the risk with the private partner.
Because risk occurred the high cost and other capital cost which can be easily for the
both the partner to share the risk.
 Improving service standard: The private public partnership will improve the existing
services. They may introduce new ideas in the tourism sector.
 Earning improvement: with the partnership between the public and private the rate for
users can be the true initialised according to particular services. Which leads to improve
the earning capacity.
Public Private Partnership disadvantages:
 Loss of government control: Due to the public and private partnership government will
loss the control on some decision which are associated with funds and other risk.
 Political risk and labour issues: Sometimes: The government is not able to take certain
decision because of inexperience of public private partnership. The political risk in which
the interested parties may involved in the political pressure (Canavan, 2014). Also the
trade union will raise the issue with regarding the labour.
2

 Responsibility issues: the public private partnership have always issue with
responsibility of the different services in which the public demand are not fulfilled.
 Insecure services: The private partnership will make insecure services in which the
labour disputes may arise and the tourism planning can be failed.
Task 2
2.1 Analysis features of tourism development planning at different levels.
Feature of tourism development planning the different levels has to be considered in the
context of tourism to make economic conditions better and the culture of the nations has to be
projected at each level.
 Internation level. Tourism development planning at international level have salient
features. If the transportation services are better at the international level or out of the
boundary of any nation is important. Complementary development of major attraction
sources and facilities in nearby countries (Buckley, 2012.). Some major marketing
strategies and promotion in other countries is important for the tourism development.
Relation with the other countries has to be improved and the more focus to attract the
international tourist which can be benefit to the economic conditions.
 National level: Tourism development planning has to be considered at national level
because at this level the more chance of development in terms of the inside culture will
be transfer the citizens of the nation will be more responsible towards the nations tourism
development (Bramwell and Lane, 2012). For instance the major policy and physical
structure. Also some of the marketing strategies and the promotions events for economic
considerations mat develop the tourism sector. The short development plan should be
implemented at the national level which can be projected on the other levels.
 Regional Level: at this level the tourism development planning of any nation never be
take interest. But for regional level the tourism development need a better regional
policy. It is easy to access the internal transport network at the different locations which
can attract more tourism. The accommodation at the regional level should be improved
with the better facilities. Education at the regional level is poor which can be the failure
of such planning at the regional level. Form the regional level the marketing strategies
and the focus on the best locations of the regional places.
3

2.2 Evaluate the significance of interactive planning system and the process in tourism
development.
Interactive planning system: The motive for this planning is to fill the gap between the
current and future state of the tourism development planning. Significance of the interactive
planning system is to involve each level for the planning such as level of organisations and
communities, and the tourist. In the Philippines the tourism sector is far better than the other
countries but still some gap has been arise due to the separation of the European union.
The process involved in the tourism development are:
 Acquire Understanding: In the tourism the education is the most important step. If any
decision have been made the proper understanding should be the priority. Face to face
meetings with the decisions maker in the area can be acquired through any presentation
or seminars.
 Preliminary Position: Rule and regulation made in this context to monitoring the
tourism sector.
 Commitment for tourism study: For tourism industry the intensive study is required to
fulfil the commitment made by the tourism industry.
 Market and Resource analysis: gathering and the involvement of the people in the
particular places can be analysis in with the data. To examine the resources some of the
things has to be considered. Culture, Environmental, Transportation, Support industry
etc.
 Conceptual planning: If the proper planing has been done with the market research on
the basis of technical and non technical level. It can be the economic targets and the
tourist development plans on the successful track.
 Plan Approval: If the planning has been made and evaluated the approval ned from the
supreme body.
 Masters Planning: it involve the total budget made by the industry and the over cost
which are high for the development will be considered in the master planning. The
motive will be improve the infrastructure and other services in the nations.
 Final commitment: The commitment will be finales for the governments after making
certain polices and funds will raised for the tourism development.
4

 Evaluations and directions: It is the last process involved in which the monitoring has
been made from the regulatory body to follow the proper mechanism (Angelevska,
RakGibson and et.al, 2012). Also to check the satisfaction level of the tourist and to
attract more tourism in the other locations.
2.3 Different methods available to measure tourist impact.
To know the tourist impact there are certain methods are available to measure the impact.
It is necessary form the nation to measure the tourism. Because it is the goodwill of the any
nation in which the tourism impact will be more.
Economic measures: it is the major factors to know the tourist impact which is based on
the economic measures. If the tourism will be proper economic condition of the nation will
improve and the other economic factors can be development as such increase in employment,
flow of money in the market will be continue due to the tourist impact. Chance of business to
make the profits will be increased due to the tourist impact. Stability of the economy is the
important impact with tourism.
Environment measures: the most adverse impact of the tourist will be on the
environment in terms of increasing in pollutions, crowding area may suffer more traffic and
other issues related to the environment may affect due to the impact of the tourist. Consumption
the nations environmental things will be increased and it may occur the more adverse situation
for the environment desegregation's and the other resource may be wasted due to impact of
tourist.
Social measures: if the economic and environmental can be measure the tourist impact
the other is social measure in which the the impact of the tourist will be on the society it may the
development of the society or chance of disturbing the them. Impact of tourist can be help full in
terms of socio culture development in the nations. The image of the society will represent to the
tourist. Also the education of the society may increased if tourist are from international to make
them understand of the language the guide have to know their mother tongue.
Task 3
3.1 Justify the introduction of the concept of sustainability tourism development.
The concept of sustainability tourism development involves the responsibility of the
society. The world tourism council and tourism council and the earth council define this concept
as to fulfil the need of current tourists, to protected and increasing the opportunity for the future.
5

Focus on management of the resources for the economic, social needs can be fulfilled. Also they
focus to maintaining the culture integrity and the environmental diversity. The sustainable
development in the tourism depends on the local community and the culture can be benefits with
such development. For the long term sustainability there are three dimensions. To make the
optimal use of the environment resources to make the important ecological process and help to
safe the heritage location. The sociocultural authenticity of the host communicates, to maintain
the customs and traditional values of the society. The impact will be on economic operations of
the hosting community and chance of the increasing the employment and earning of the society.
It is contributing to increase the poverty.
However the sustainability development requires the contribution of all the key person
to make tourism sector more vibrant. This key person may be the political or the corporate
person. The tourism satisfaction will be nation with the sustainability development. Awareness
of the tourist ism the important for agenda in the sustainability development. This can be done
through the proper service and the monitoring from legal authority of the planning and tourism
development and also take the action against the if unlawful activity found. Government
intervention can also the major factor for the sustainability development.
The approaches of the legislation will always impact on the sustainability development
and the products used against the environment for the develop the tourism have to be operated
minimum. The concept generalise whole parameter in one frame.
3.2 Factors that may prevent or hinder sustainability tourism development.
Tourism development will be impact according the conditions of the demographic size of
the hosted community. The sustainability tourism development factors which are preventing or
some factors are hinder to this development.
Tourist have been satisfied with the location and the cost involved in the tour may be less
. So the burden can be reduce and purchasing power of the tourist can be maintained in which
they can spent more in the local product. It can be prevent the sustainability tourism
development. The crime and the violence can hindrance to the society in which the sustainability
development planning are failed in the area which are backwards but the from the tourism side it
is more valuable locations for the nations. It is the responsibility of the government to control the
crime in such locations where tourist can be threaten by the criminals. The economic condition
6

can also the major factors that may hindrance to the tourism development in terms of the better
infrastructure for the tourist and to fulfil other needs (Amir, Ghapar, Jamal and et.al., 2015). But
economic condition can be prevented by the tourism development if the government will allocate
the separate budget for the tourism and than the tourist get the better services which may be
benefits to generate moire employments and to grow business in the nation for the economic
development. Social threat can be the major factor to hindrance the tourism development in
context of availability and allocation of the resource to the society for their utilisation. Legal
rules and regulations can prevents as well hindrance for the tourism development. Some laws
which are made strictly fro such location where tourist can not be make any unnecessary things
for their self interest which may hindrance to the society.
3.3 Analysis different stages in planning for sustainability.
The stages involved in the planning of the sustainability in the Philippine as follows:
STEP 1 what has to be done
it is the first stage for the Philippines government is to make efforts on the things which
they want to do. To find the location in which the sustainability tourism measures can be
considered.
STEP 2: The person which are required to involved in the planning.
This stage supreme body of the tourism development department need some well
qualified and the experienced person to involved in the planning process.
STEP 3: How the different location can made better for tourist.
In case of Philippines the government has to find such locations which can develop for
sustainability tourism development and this can be benefits for the nations in terms of the
economic and social welfare.
STEP 4: it is concerned with the matter which are face by the individual.
This stage for the Philippines government to find the natural resource in their nations and
find the matters which are faced on the individual level.
STEP 5 Evaluate the matter and other problems.
7

If the individual problems can be identified the next stage in front of the Philippines
government is to evaluate the matter and other problems.
STEP 6 Regulations for the matters.
Once the matter have been evaluated the most important task in front of the Philippines
government is to made the regulation to solve the matters and other problems.
STEP 7 Different ways available for the solutions.
To solve the problems government have the different way in which loss can be minimise
with the best alternative matters of the individual.
STEP 8 Various step to implement the plan.
This the last stage of the planning in which the sustainability development will be depend
on the matter and other problems which are said by the individual can be solved by
implementing the various plans.
Task 4
4.1 Evaluating the Methods of resolving a conflicts of interest to ensure the future well being of
the tourism destinations.
In the Philippine it is already a well tourism development destination even though some
conflicts may arise in the future for that certain methods can be evaluated in terms of following
manners:
To resolve it the conflicts between the government and the local bodies has to identified
in terms of the infrastructures for tourism destination should be cIn today's era, travel and
tourism sector is growing day by day. People are travelling from country to other for different
purpose such as enjoyment, education, short trip, world tour, business etc. This is because the
means of transportation have increased and people feel comfortable while travelling. It is the
fastest growing sector in the world and due to that international transactions have increased with
that there is increase in national income of the country. In simple world sustainable tourism is
growth or increase in the tourism sector in such a way that different organisation and countries
have started earning and reduce in damage of economy, environment and society. In this
presented report, characteristics of planning in tourism have been discussed. Other than that it
also includes importance of interactive planning systems and process has also addressed. With
8

that different approaches of tourism planning and development have been known with the need
for planning sustainable tourism. considered in the priority and other interior places should be
safe for the tourist. It is the responsibility of the government and the local bodies to resolve such
conflict. Government ha s to be considered the safeguard for the environment and other
resources in the nations. Local bodies have to think for the nation development and government
should solve their problems. It is most important to develop the society for the tourism
sustainability. Regulations which are made for the tourism development should be monitored by
the government . If the damage to the environment found it is the responsible for the regulatory
authority to punish according to the rules or charge some fines.
Another conflicts can be found in between the wildlife and investors of the nations.
Investor who had invested for the hotels and other business are suffering loss due to the forest
department . Intervention of the department for the local people which can be affect on their
livelihood. Their income basically comes from the tourism and it is the responsibility of the
government to solve the conflicts between them which can leads to help for the local people to
start their income. More the conflicts can b resolved the tourist will be feel safe and they attract
to the such locations which are developed and safety for them.
4.2 Analysis the implication of balancing supply and demand in Philippines
The success of the tourism sector is very essential in order to meet expectation of various
customers. The country should take various initiatives in order to analyse the demand and supply
of tourism sector. As per the present scenario it has been clearly noticed that the Philippine is the
developing country in this the resources are not managed in proper manner (Gibson, Kaplanidou
and Kang, 2012). To have more amount of profitability the tourism sector should take effective
step in order to hire those employees who can promote maximum to the organisation. In order to
meet the demand and supply of country there should be effective analysation of expectation of
various customers. The government should take various initiative in order to define various
facilities by government so that there can be more effective development. In other words it can
be said that the local government should take various effective steps in order to have
modification in hotel arrangement so on the basis of this tourist can attracted with such facilities.
In this manner there can be effective maximisation of profitability and productivity in large
manner. With the help of proper investment it is possible for the country to bring success and
sustainability(Haven and Jones, 2012). To attract the tourist they are taking various measure in
9

order to launch various shows which will assist to attract large tourist. There should be equal
distribution of investment so that any corrective measure is to be taken effectively and
efficiently. To have modification it is essential to have proper and adequate amount of funds so
that changed can be taken with aim to meet customers expectations (Hunter, 2012). To gather the
attraction of customer there should be effective steps to bring attractive services to tourist so they
can feel motivated and there can be balance between demand and supply factor.
4.3 Evaluation of moral and ethical issues enclave tourism.
The enclave tourism destination is he attractive place where tourism come and
enjoy various facilities provided by them (Jamal and Camargo, 2014). These place is located
near the remote area in order to make expert approach in relation to make tourism facility
effective. This kind of arrangement is very helpful in manner to have better relation between two
countries in order to get good services from such places. The tourism business is the one who is
earning more profitability by providing better services to their customer (Lee, 2013). According
to present scenario the tourism sector is one of the leading firm which work in manner to bring
effective contribution so that economic growth of the country can be promoted. There are many
kinds of morale and ethical issues are considered in order to define enclave tourism as-
 The issues can be as per the climate and environmental changes at the larger extent.
 There can more issue in relation to the ethical concept which is in associated with
increment in enclave tourism in Philippine.
 The local resident don't get too much opportunity in enclave tourism.
 The various issue in relation to the culture, social, economy are very common in relation
to this manner (Hwang, Stewart, and Ko, 2012). The enclave tourism used to give their
major focus on the foreign tourist. In this manner there are chance to have some issues in
relation to cultural differences. There are various changes on the ground of lifestyle of
Philippine people and foreign client which can create issues in relation to development of
tourism.
 The enclave tourism is taking various effort in order to make investment in import
activities which work in manner to decrease the business of local person.
10

Task 5
5.1- Define comparison of current issues in relation to development of tourism
For making effective comparison the Nepal has been selected as country in this the
selected destination is Croatia. The Croatia is the part of the Europe which is developed country,
in other hand the Nepal is belongs to India. The Croatia is also maintaining its good relation
with developed countries (Reihanian, Mahmood, Kahrom, and Hin, 2012). Their export and
import services are very effective in relation to have proper foreign reserve which is sufficient in
order to have productive in tourism sector. The country like Nepal is underdeveloped due to lack
or resources the growth of opportunities are very less. There are some issues which is related to
the tourism development are as-
Issue Croatia Nepal
Environmental issues The government is taking
various measure in relation to
have effective development in
this location (Mowforth and
Munt, 2015). There should be
availability of good hotels
facilities. This kind of
activities are very helpful in
order to promote growth of the
country.
Wildlife sanctuary is not able
to prevent the tourist. Certain
issues made in the Nepal that
elephant are attacking on he
tourist.
5.2 Suggesting the recommendation for the future development of tourism
Government of Philippines is playing major role to develop the tourism sector in their
nation. But from the entire discussion some recommendation and suggestion have to considered.
Tourism development can be only possible if education of Philippine will be more diverse and
have match with the global educations system (Saufi, O'Brien and Wilkins, 2014). If the
resources can be utilised in a optimum manner than the availability of the resource for the local
people will sufficient. The policies are not on the basis of earning income from the tourism it
should be better environment safety and the society welfare can be the some major fact have to
11

be added in that. To attract the tourism they have to develop some destination which an be more
earning for the local people. Rules and regulation should be made strictly for reduce the crime
rate. So that the tourist feel safe in the other part of the Philippines (Stoddard, Pollard and Evans,
2012). For the local investors who are investing in their hotels should be profitable with tourism
planning. If this stakeholders are more benefited to the nation economic will be better in terms of
the more revenue to the government. Wildlife department has to be effectively working in the
coastal areas to prevent the animals and the tourist to guide them for their safety. Philippines
government should made certain laws fort he tourist to prevent their culture. Customs and
traditional has to be follow by the tourist so they can project their culture to the global level. But
it has to be first develop the regional level tourism and the destination which are not easy to
reach due to the poor networks of the roads between other destination of the tourism (Telfer and
Sharpley, 2015). They have to focus on infrastructure and the services has to be nominal charges
inside the country which can helpful for the Philippine development.
CONCLUSION
It can be concluded from the project report that Tour and travel industry is the service
sector which is the most growing sector in the world, so develop of this sector is very important
for the country in order to earn international income. For this project report, various kinds of
factors have been assessed in order to make effective sustainable planning in the tourism sector.
Further it has been concluded that if the country want to sustain their tourism sector, government
of the country need to make effective planning to make balance between demand and supply of
tourism. It has been summarised that effective planning is very much significant for both public
and private sector tourist organisation in order to gain large market share and profitability from
the same sector. It has been analysed that there are different pros and cons when public and
private sector merge as they can get large profitability from effective planning.
