TASK 3
3.1 Introduction of the concept of sustainability in tourism development
Sustainable tourism is a sector which is related to making a low impact on the environment and
local culture while generating future employment for local people. The tourism planners have
started to analyse the objectives for the development of this sector like a result of various
factors such as:
 Local communities affect tourism because they are becoming more sensitive and have
impact on the lifestyle, culture and environment of local people.
 Sustainable tourism search an integrated experience which include various activities so
that the interaction with community increases.
 The tourist is changing and wishing fro greater involvement with local persons and
various are conscious towards the economic, social and environmental impact of their
visit (Jovicic, 2014).
A tourism organisation which follow these principle, can achieve success, development
and growth in the tourism sector. It help in proper running of the business and do not affect and
create impact on natural, cultural and economic resources (Mowforth and Munt, 2015). By
following all these a tourism sector company can enhance and develop conservation of natural
resources, generate revenue into the community and bring appreciation to cultural values which
can be profitable for sustainability in tourism development.
3.2 Analyse factors that may prevent/hinder sustainable tourism development with
reference to Egypt
There are various factors that hinder and prevent sustainable development, they are as
following:
Cost- It is the primary factor which can impact the industry by both local and
international travellers and tourist. In some countries, cost of travelling is so high that people do
not want to go to visit there and this create a barrier in the sustainable tourism development.
Crime and violence- It is an another important factor which generate barriers in the

achievement of sustainable development. It not only affect the social development but also
economic as well as. Egypt is high incidence of crimes and the outcome of it is loss of
investments. This crime and violence can be terrorist activity which also create negative impact
and generate barriers of the growth of the tourism sector.
Safety- It is an important factor which is the main and primary concern of each types of
travellers. There are different elements that re important for safety such as political unrest can
be a main reason fro which tourist avoid visit and travelling unstable countries. Outbreak of
communicable diseases can also create barriers and hinder for tourism sector.
Change in global climate conditions- It is an also an essential factor that affect the
sustainable development of tourism sector. Warm and mild temperatures of various countries
also generate a barrier for travel and tourism sector. Climate change will also impact on
biodiversity and natural resources or on social development also. In countries climate
conditions of that nations hinder the sustaibility of tourism sector because the travellers don not
want to visit at that time and in that climate condition (Muresan, and et. al., 2016).
3.3 Analyse different stages in planning for sustainability
Various stages of planning is as following:
Define the objectives and aims- Goals and objectives basically refers to the purpose of the
organisation. In tourism industry, the objective of tourism should define the set of conditions
under which an favourable and meaningful decision can be taken. It is the first step, in which an
organisation design and made a aim related to a specific field (Poudel, Nyaupane and Budruk,
2016). For example, if an tourism organisation want to achieve the sustainable development in
tourism sector then the main objective of that firm that it can attract more travellers for the

TASK 4
4.1 Evaluate methods of resolving a conflict of interests to ensure the future well being of a
developing tourism destination
There are various methods that can be used by an organisation to resolve a conflicts of
interests, they are as following:
Interpersonal relations among stakeholders- They are most essential and important
factor and elements for every country to maintain good relation and provide satisfaction to
visitors and tourists. In it, conflicts can be in term of resource allocation, planning, decision
making, politics and principles for stakeholder. These issues can be reduce by interpersonal
communication, transparency in approaches and lead the development of better accommodations
at destinations (Rodrigues, Rodrigues and Peroff, 2015).
Host-guest relationship- In Egypt, hotels can use and implement host guest relationship
to resolve the problems of conflicts because the hotels are moving towards the structural and
traditional values (Saufi, O'Brien and Wilkins, 2014). Food, accommodation services and
support in hotel are acquiring the traditional approaches like arts, cultural values and social
patterns which preserve the heritage.
Delegation of responsibility- there are various parties that are engaged in tourism sector
and play and important role to attain the objective. Each organisation have some authorities and
they develop and design some rules and strategies to solve issues and conflicts. If the arising
problems are solving, the tourism sector is already develop.
4.2 Analyse the implications of balancing supply and demand
To make and maintain balance between demand and supply is important and essential for
sustainable development of Egypt in more systematic and effective manner. If the travellers face
complexity and issues during the time of travelling and visiting any country then this decrease
and reduce the demand. The information is gathered on several basis in each country and region.

In Supply there are person and people and they want to live a low cost to explore in those areas

eco-friendly resources and they are essential fro sustainable development in tourism sector.

entertainment through which there is a crowd of tourists to participate inn program. In this case,
there is a requirement of special arrangements according to seasons. So the proper arrangement
is important for implication of balancing supply and demand.
Imposition of limits- During the time of season, in tourism industry, there is high use of
resources. In this condition, there are high level pressure to use limited resources. In this
situation, tour operators set limited of tourist who can come to visit at particular destination.
With this, they can make proper balance in the use of supply and demand.

`Enclave tourism refers to a destination where tourist activities are planned in one small
geographic area. It is beneficial fro tourist in getting more entertainment in less cost and host
nation can also earn a minimum profit from this type of tourism (Torres-Delgado and Saarinen,
2014). There are some issues of enclave tourism like there is less interaction between visitors and
local person. In it, visitors does not get and collect actual experience. There are some some
ethical and morale issues that can be occur cause of enclave tourism, they are as following:
 There is high possibilities of using drugs, alcohol and others provide to tourist which
