DIFFERENT LEVELS WITH REFERENCE TO THE QATAR
Sustainable development in tourism gives a tremendous growth in every important sector in

major decision to develop their sustainable field in tourism which needs planning at different
levels. The planning objectives which enhance the utilization of resources, provide modern
world to society and create employment opportunities. Planning of Qatar divided in different
levels which is international, national, regional and sub-regional (Giampiccoli and Mtapuri,
2015).
INTERNATIONAL LEVEL
Development planning process at international level try to set the objectives which enhance the
transportation services of the country apart from this objective for giving best tourism
programmes which can attract large numbers of tourists. It is necessary for Qatar to make an
sources, strategies and conduct promotional events for received huge volume of tourists in
their country.
NATIONAL LEVEL
Planning for tourism development at national level gives various policies about physical and
organizational structure. This planning is very useful for domestic tourists and also extends the
routes for connecting the regions. Qatar should focus on this level of planning which provide
terms policies for their nation
REGIONAL LEVEL

Regional level of tourism in Qatar should be set an aim to provide proper safety to visit
geographical areas of their country. This level strategies develop the internal parts and policies
of the country. Qatar must be work on regional marketing plans and level of education. This will
also become supportive plan for all major plans (Gardner, et al. 2014).
SUB-REGIONAL LEVEL
Aspects of this planning for tourism focuses on condition of sub-regions departments of Qatar.
This planning try to attract different type tourists from different locations of world with give
them well groomed comfort and serve several kinds of services. Qatar can received
overwhelmed positive response to go through this plans (Khodr, 2012).

2.2 EVALUATE THE SIGNIFICANCE OF INTERACTIVE PLANNING SYSTEMS AND
PROCESSES IN TOURISM DEVELOPMENT WITH REFERENCE TO QATAR
Interactive planning is a process which helps to formulate the strategies to achieve the

Qatar should focus on the interactive planning as it can be helpful in making better decisions.
Although there are various benefits of the interactive planning still there few demerits of it
which can affect tourism. For example, consider the opinion and feedback of all the
stakeholders can make the process more complex. It would be difficult for the Qatar to focus on
view of each and every stakeholder (Rizzo, 2014).

2.3 EVALUATE DIFFERENT METHODS AVAILABLE TO MEASURE TOURIST
IMPACT WITH REFERENCE TO QATAR
It is imperative for a country to measure the impact of the tourist on the nation. The evaluation
of the impact of tourist help in understating the different aspect should be considered for the
proper planning of sustainable tourism development. There are various methods which can be
adopted to assess the impact of the tourist on a country (Sharpley and Telfer, 2015). Qatar can
adopt the below mentioned models in order to measure the impact of the tourists on Qatar.
Cambridge economic impact model
STEAM model
Pro-poor tourism
CAMBRIDGE ECONOMIC IMPACT MODEL
It is an effective tool to measure the economic impact of tourism in a particular area or country.
In this model, the volume of the visitor is translated into economic term by estimating the
money spend by visitor based on their average spending per trip. The effective of spending can
be translated to estimate the impact in terms of jobs and turnover.
STEAM MODEL
Steam model delivers the indicative base by effective monitoring of the local economic impact
by the day visitors. In this model data is extracted from different inputs that are Information on
occupancy percentage each month, bed stock of every type of accommodation, number of
visitor attended the major events by month and TIC visistors by month.
PRO-POOR TOURISM

TASK 4
4.1 EVALUATE METHODS OF RESOLVING A CONFLICT OF INTERESTS TO
ENSURE THE FUTURE WELLBEING OF A DEVELOPING TOURISM DESTINATION
SUCH AS QATAR
There are various kind of conflicts of interest in tourism development planning which become
like a stoppage for enhancement process in tourism. Mostly conflicts arise due to difference of
thinking between planners, tour operators and social issues in local community such as society
of Qatar has devotees of Islamic religion and foreign tourists belong from different castes so,
the laws and rules sometimes creates difficult situation for the nation. To resolve this conflict
Qatar authorities should make the law with taking all rights and considerations of others (Cloke
and Goldsmith, 2011).
There are another reasons of conflicts which comes from economic and political policy. Higher
authorities take the decisions in context of development in tourism but the conflicts between
internal departments of government stand like a barrier and it will lead to lack of
communication and collaboration through this stakeholders doesn’t take interest to contribute
in development process. Group discussions and brainstorming with all necessary departments
upon sustainable development on Qatar can help to come out of this conflict so, this conflict
can be resolve with better negotiation which develop the communications and effective
collaboration.
Industries of any nation mainly support tourism sectors because of all raw material, non-
material goods ,requirement of basic amenities would provided to tourists by different kinds of
industries but sometimes this sector also not maintain cooperation and creates conflicts
situation which made poor impact on tourists and local crowd also. The conflicts comes from
competition one industry compete to other and to beat the rival they will raise or reduce
general price level of goods and services which badly effect the current situation. This conflict
could be resolved through bargaining with industries or try to agree the both the parties to
follow the constant price level for QTA.
15

Negotiation and mediation methods can be adopted to resolve the conflicts of interest the
future wellbeing of a developing tourism destination. Negotiation is most effective method
which can be used by Qatar to resolve the conflict of interest (Ramsbotham, et al. 2011).
Negotiation is a method which will be necessary at a moment when some conflicts and dispute
is going on between two parties. Negotiation process helps to resolve the conflict through
discussions which held between two parties without any involvement of third party. There are
various advantages and disadvantages of negotiation-
Advantages –
 This is completely private.
 Negotiation always maintain good relationship
Disadvantage-
 This can be involve advocate expenses
 Negotiation not always bring positive results
Meditation is a flexible process to resolve the conflicts and it needs mediator. The mediators is
a third person who guide the both parties towards the agreement of issue. Mediator helps the
both parties to explain the issue and try to resolve them to understand their problems and
conditions.
Advantage-
 It can be saves lot of money and time.
 This process brings fair judgement
Disadvantage-
 Mediator must be expertise
 It can be considered too informal when parties doesn’t take it seriously
Qatar should follow both the methods to resolve the conflicts. This two methods not only
resolve the conflicts but also develop the future conditions for sustainable development.

4.2 ANALYZE THE IMPLICATIONS OF BALANCING SUPPLY AND DEMAND WITH
REFERENCE TO QATAR
Balancing of demand and supply is very important for the development of a nation. Qatar
needs to focus on the demand as well as the supply to achieve the sustainable tourism
(Scharfenort, et al. 2012).
In tourism, demand refers to the total number of people wish to travel a particular place. The
demand of a tourist place can be enhanced by the increasing the tourist’s interest. It can be
measured by the different by examining the consumption of complementary product
associated with tourism. Tourism demand depends on the various factors such as visitor
attractions, competition, season, events etc.In terms of tourism supply refers to the mix of the
tourist attractions that can be provided by a particular place to the tourists. Tourism supply
incorporates transportation sector, hospitality sector, and attractions of a destination.
QTA should focus on the effective management of the demand and supply. For this purpose it
should estimate the demand properly and should develop the effective strategies to meet it. All
the internal and external factors which can affect the demand and supply should be considered
by the QTA. The effective balancing of demand and supply can help the Qatar in archiving the
sustainable tourism development (Scharfenort, et al. 2012).

4.3 EVALUATE THE MORAL AND ETHICAL ISSUES OF ENCLAVE TOURISM IN
QATAR
Enclave tourism is existed that destination where tourists planned and integrated the activities
in small geographical location. It permit the tourists to fulfil the purposes and intentions of
travelling to provide entirely journey under the remote control areas. Due to geographical limit
areas, tourist’s stays at resorts and ships where they got great hospitality. There are several
moral and ethical issues which can arise in enclave tourism (Anderson, 2011).
The Prime moral and ethical issues are-
Child Labour
Human trafficking
Environmental impact
Cultural and heritage values
This is all the major issues which give unfavourable effect on enclave tourism. The management
of the resort and ships recruit children’s for all cheap types of work with low wages. This issues
should be resolved as early as possible because it destroy the bright future of children’s. Human
trafficking is one of most capital issue which badly impact on enclave tourism. This is not good
for women’s and families who came for vacations. Sometimes environmental problems also
become major issue which adverse effect on tourism such as weather conditions, water
resources and local sources. There are many activities held related to cultural and social ethics
which can give adverse effect on enclave tourism. Due to this, there would be some chance of
conflict between locals and tourists. It is necessary for QTA to focus on these moral and ethical
issues and should be make solution to resolve all this matters. There should be one way to
remove this major issues and develop effective strategies for sustainable development in Qatar
(Nunkoo and Ramkissoon, 2016).

TASK 5
INTRODUCTION
The tourism development gets affected by various issues to a great extent. This report
demonstrates the different social, cultural, economic and environmental issues which can affect
thee sustainable tourism. The comparison between Qatar and Mexico on the basis of socio
culture, economic and environmental factors is also done in this report. Recommendation for
future development of tourism is also included in this report.
5.1 COMPARE CURRENT ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH TOURISM DEVELOPMENT
IN A DEVELOPING COUNTRY AND AN EMERGING DESTINATION WHERE THE
IMPACTS OF TOURISM ARE DIFFERENT
There are many issues affect sustainable tourism development in tourism industry to a great
extent. Socio cultures, economic and environmental are some of the issues which are
responsible for Qatar & Mexico in tourism industry. In this the emerging country is Qatar and
the developing country is Mexico. The comparison between Qatar and Mexico on the basis of
socio culture, economic and environmental factors are as follows:
Current issues Qatar Mexico
Socio culture It is an emerging country.
Qatar is famous for man-
made, natural reserves,
momentous things for
sightseeing, all flavors of food
& restaurant. Qatar consist of
mostly Islamic community.
Education, occupation, child
labor & prostitution are some
issues which affects tourism
industry (Zaidan, 2016).
It is a developing country.
Mexico is attracted for its
cuisine, the language spoken
here is Spanish, religion,
Mexican art culture, Mexican
clothing etc. In this country
consumptions of drugs &
crimes are the issues
responsible for tourism
industry.
Economic other countries increase Tourism industry having

positive impact on the
countries economy. It has
increase the GDP rate of the
country, employment &
increase in wealth of the
country.
Environmental Qatar was not able to use
properly natural resources
and gases like water, land &
other resources. This
country’s tourism industry
was not able to take proper
care of natural parks,
drainage, irrigation etc
(Weber, et al. 2014).
The tourism is affecting the
sun areas, beaches & coastal
area the most in Mexico. The
tourism has also increased
water as well as air pollution.

5.2 EVALUATE, WITH RECOMMENDATIONS, THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF
TOURISM IN QATAR
There are many issues which should be focused on, by developing and emerging countries i.e.
Qatar & Mexico so that the improvement in tourism is done. Qatar is having the problem of
unlimited usage of natural resources, so the government should take a step for the proper
utilization of the resources. The government should make different policies like low taxes to pay
& exchange rate so that the economy rate of the country is increased. The country should also
involve in stake holder so that the strong relationship of the country can be established with
the stakeholders, this will reduce the negative impacts of the country. Mexico has not many
issues which are affecting tourism but some factors can enhance the improvement. The
environmental issues should be focused & the connectivity of airlines should be increased. The
promotion of tourism should be done. These are some issues which should be resolved, so that
the development & growth of the country in tourism sector can be increased (Wiedmann, et al.
2014).
Beside these are some more issues which are to be focused on. These are like connectivity of
air lines, not that much friendly visa policies, economic issues, political issues, lack of awareness
of tourism, unskilled employees. These are affecting the tourism in a massive way so this should
be resolved as soon as possible.
There are some areas in which improvements are needed such as visa rules & regulations by
government, market association, advertisement of tourism, planning etc. These issues after
resolution can gain a lot in future. The visa friendly policies can solve the problem of large
amount of visitors visiting & promoting the tourism in the country. The market associations can
emphasis on the awareness & improvement among the private companies. For increasing the
tourist, improvement in the images of tourism should be done so that maximum amount of
tourist from all over the country can attract the tourist destination (Wise, 2016).
CONCLUSION
22

Socio cultures, economic and environmental are some key issues which are responsible for
Qatar & Mexico in tourism industry. Both the countries should develop effective strategies to
overcome all these challenges. Qatar is having the problem of unlimited usage of natural
resources, so the government should take a step for the proper utilization of the resources. The
government should make different policies like low taxes to pay & exchange rate so that the
economy rate of the country is increased. Mexico should also develop effective strategies to
overcome its issues.
23

CONCLUSION
After analyzing all the different aspects, it may be concluded that sustainable tourism has
become the need of modern tourism industry. A country should focus on all the different
elements associated with the sustainable tourism in order to make significant and sustainable
growth. It is imperative for a nation to focus on the effective planning of the sustainable
tourism. Sustainable tourism delivers the various benefits to the stakeholders. It is also
important for a nation to consider the advantages as well as disadvantages of public private
partnership in order to achieve the sustainable tourism. Interactive planning is the most
important part of every tourist destination because its help to improve the work in the present
for better growth in future. There are various methods which can be adopted to assess the
impact of the tourist on a country. Socio cultures, economic and environmental issues and
other such issues which affect the tourism should be considered by a nation and it should
develop strategies to respond it effectively.
