TASK 4
P4.1 Methods of resolving conflict of interests to ensure the future well being of a developing
tourism destination such as Qatar
In order to consider tourism in particular industry, it can be stated that sustainability also
make more effectiveness within the industry to solve conflicts with interest which need to be
solved to ensure future well-being. In Qatar, tourism can be considered with following methods
that resolve conflicts as well: Interpersonal relations among several stakeholders: Among several stakeholders,
tourism planning successfully implemented to focus on desired objectives. With this
regard, resource allocation, planning, decision making, etc. conflicts occurred at
workplace. These are most useful and effective principles that can be ascertained with
several principles. Hence, it would be beneficial to lead with conflicts that can be
successfully reduced which assists to lead with development and better accommodation
at destination (Xu, Barbieri and Rozier-Rich, 2016). Enclave tourism: This method assists to solve conflict of interest to ensure tourism
development in Qatar. Market customers are getting several benefits with this approach
implementation. Proper implications of policies and legislations helps to eliminate
enclave process on tourism. Stakeholders can use this approach which assists to introduce
politics for making development at centric to dependency on services (Salinas Chavez,
Delgado Mesa and Miller, 2018). Host guest relationship: In Qatar, several hotels can use as host guest relationship that
assists to solve issue of conflicts to move around and create several values with
presentation in business. Food, services and support in hotel acquire with using
traditional approaches so that arts, cultural values and social pattern, etc. included in this
aspect. Demonstration conflicts: Conflict towards interest among several stakeholders may be
due to demonstration on changes towards behaviour in industry. Therefore, differences
also lead in the market change which can be varied from each person. It also creates
several difficulties to manage outcomes and determination towards goals.
Communication also establishment and collaborative working that helps to resolve
problem which demonstrate effect in tourism (Rasoolimanesh, Ringle and Ramayah,
9

2017). It can be observed to adopt and lead in the market of tourism in systematic
manner.
 Acculturation: Conflict in interest also occur due to difference in culture of stakeholders.
In Qatar, presentation of single culture successfully develop with several stakeholders
instead of community that consider differences in particular culture. Hence, process of
culture requires attaining competitive results and lead with future well being (Farmaki,
Altinay and Hilke, 2015).
P4.2 Analysis the implications of balancing supply and demand with reference to Qatar
Supply and demand need to be balanced to conquer in the tourism sector. In this regard, it
is essential to reach towards customers that includes several products and services in particular
time. In Qatar, supply law also show rising in prices at particular destination tourism activities
successfully develop with raising amount of services. Therefore, supply in tourism can be
determines to ascertained appropriate laws. In supply, there are different types of services
included in infrastructure such as telecommunication, transportation and accommodation of
visitors (Budeanu, Miller and Ooi, 2016). There are several kinds of services provided with
superstructure, which is constructed and support to visit particular destination of Qatar. In the
country, promotional activities successfully develop to increase positive advantages with several
images and quotes in public places. Therefore, it encourages visitors to make appropriate visit.
Beside this, demand also with several numbers of products and services that are expected in
market. In order to create proper balancing in demand and supply, it can be stated that Qatar
make several benefits in the particular nation.
In order to implement different laws, it can be stated that supply and demand remain
unchanged with prices and services due to shortage. As a result, it is important to considered
possible demand which can manage unchanged and supply also rises. Therefore, it can be stated
that imbalance between supply and demand can be successfully seen in the form of surplus.
Consequently, prices are also diminished due to excess within the market. Unchanged supply
with decreased demand also appears in particular problem so that prices starts to go down
(Schaper, 2016). Decrease in supply with constant value of demand also assists to focus on
increasing prices that start to grow up. Therefore, balance between supply and demand must be
implicated in appropriate manner to ensure sustainable growth.

P4.3 Moral and ethical issues of enclave tourism in Qatar
Enclave tourism can be defines as to serve customers with all inclusive services. In this
regard, local business activities can be successfully develop which helps to ascertained desired
level of results and outcomes. Therefore, several opportunities can be serve for several customers
that is beneficial among larger businesses and local community. It also supports with very less
contribution towards economic value because of dollar and less portion goes to the economy. For
instance, tourists in ships and five star hotels in Qatar helps to meet with get proper chances to
elaborate social and cultural value. It assists to develop economic growth and survivability
(Coccossis, 2016).
There are several issues occurs in form of less integration in tourism within the particular
nation. With this regard, visitors also not getting several and effective opportunities to feel very
native and effective within the successful environment. In addition to this, business ethics must
be develop as a reason to solve problem of conflict to serve with several customers. Beside this,
enclave tourism increase level of leakages in services as hotel and restaurant. They import
services and foods from different culture of the countries (Cornelissen, 2017). There are limited
portion towards employment benefits with native community from visitors to leave complex and
make appropriate purchase in local restaurant. In this regard, little interaction as host and guest
rarely meet with each other to solve complexity in business operations. As a result, in local
community of Qatar build all inclusive service providers.

emerging destination for tourism development
With the help of different factors, it can be stated that development of tourism considered

identifying several places for adventure tourism activities. It must be organised with extensive
marketing campaign (Lee and Hsieh, 2016). Mainly adventure and nature tourism are current
trends in tourism that align with tourism policies and particular direction that assists to get more
business.
With this consideration, it is essential to look upon infrastructure of Mexico which is
required improvement. In this regard, it is essential to look upon several facilities in which
tourists can move conveniently in the particular nation. It is essential to develop world class
hotels and restaurant which ascertained desired level of results. With the help of focus, human
resources available in the particular nation (Bramwell, Higham and Miller, 2017). Skill
