Impact of Tourism on Host Countries: A Comparative Analysis of Nepal and France

The travel and tourism industry has both positive and negative impacts on the host country and its people. While it can improve historic places and wildlife, environmental factors are also affected by different types of travel motives. The growth and development of economies affect tourism industries in developing and emerging countries, with a major difference between developed and developing countries. Nepal is a well-known tourist destination with its main attractions being mountains, flora, and fauna. However, it lacks transportation facilities and has faced terrorist attacks, restricting tourism. France is a developed country with beautiful destinations that attract global travelers, but the major problem is language barriers. To overcome these challenges, both countries should focus on increasing tourist destinations, safety, infrastructure, and affordable accommodation. The future development of tourism in these chosen destinations will depend on global spending power and social media promotion.

TASK 1
1.1 What kind of benefits are getting stakeholder from planning of tourism developments.
Philippines is a country where tourism is the most popular business in the country, and it
is one of the huge economy boosters for the country. As the agriculture and another source of
business is not so strong but as per as the greenery and the historic places are active in the
country for that reason tourism is the proper business of that country. The climate or the weather
of the country is very much suitable for tourism. The country is full of greenery and water, so the
sustainable tourism is the best option. For these case and the reasons of sustainable tourism, the
government wants to preserve the culture, forest and the entire ecosystem of the country because
it has a huge impact on the Philippines economy (Ashton, 2014). The government, tourism
department and some other business organization are the stake holder of the tourism. During the
time of planning for tourism that time the involvement of the stake holder are required because
as they are the part of the tourism department, they also can give inputs to the plan regarding the
proper business. The benefit of the stake holders is gain profit and to promote the business
among the people. Tourisms is most progressive industry and Philippines is going well in this
business. In tourism destination stake holders refers to the host and the tourist. They also give
preference to the business sector, public sectors and non-profitable sectors for better business in
tourism and to develop the tourism. As Per as the world tour organization stake holders is dived
into three major sectors: local community or the government, environment support and the
tourism industry. The role of these stake holders in this tourism industry to create opportunity in
employment, business, income and foreign currency exchange through the tourism service (Getz
and Timur, 2012). They have another .benefit by developing the destination and make it
beautiful from where they can collect the service tax for the beatification and for providing the
service by which they can promote their business more powerfully. The stake holders always
keep a good relationship with the suppliers and the tour company because they are the important
part of the business by them only the tourists visit the country, and the suppliers used to fulfil the
demand of the tourist. Thus, from here we can understand the role and the benefits of the stake
holders of tourism (Sligo.et.al.2013).
1.2 Write down the strength and weakness of public and private sector tourist planning.
When the tourist destination is developed at that point the private and public enterprise

plays crucial role in the development of particular tourist friendly destination. The public sector
uses to set the plans and the policies, making the place standard for the tourist for visiting. Public
sectors play a vital role in developing, creating the rules for tourism, developing the main
infrastructure, used to conduct the market for advertisement and promotion for those areas where
tourist used to visit frequently. The public sector is more involved in making rules and regulation
regarding tourism. The public sector uses to develop the tourist destination where the tourist can
enjoy and stay properly; they used to construct and manage the place as per as the tourist
demand. The public sector gives activities, space, and product which are made for public use
(Ruhanen, 2013).
As per as the private sector the private sector also has important roles to play regarding tourism.
They also take part in preparing for activities, product, and space but then also they are more
focused on profit-oriented business and development (Mowforth and Munt, 2015). Here the
product, activities, and space are very much different from the public sectors here the product
refers to the involvement, service, and hospitality, activity refers to group activity, and event
development and space refers to the development of suitable location (Weaver and Jin, 2016).
The private sectors always focused on developing and giving accommodation in apartments and
hotels, making cafes and restaurants for the beverages and food, for entertainment shopping
malls, parks, cinema halls are being made by the private sectors. The incentives are provided by
the public sector for the Investments made by the private sectors for developing the tourism
destination. There is the good connection among the stake holders on making the tourist friendly
environment for tourism. The tourist will have a great experience and will enjoy the tour for
these tourisms friendly concept. Both the private sector and the public sector are interrelated
which is helping to develop the tourism of Philippines. Sometime the public sector act as the

pioneer when the private sector is running out of money rather it is a vice versa process for
tourism which helps the country.
TASK 2
2.1 What are the features of tourist development planning at various levels.
In the country the tourist development has been divided into four categories. Every
planning structure is interdependent on each other. The division of tourisms development
planning is as per national level, regional level, sub-regional level and at global level.
Global level- Flow of programming and support of tourism, tours, and tourists are the
contents of the internal level of tourism development planning, which are operated in many
countries. The nearby and neighbouring development strategies help the operating countries to
develop the system, style, and management of their country for attracting more tourists.
Philippines use these international standards of marketing programs and promotional strategies
for getting the maximum returns of their planning and investments.
National level: In this level of tourism development, both long term and short term
objectives are kept in mind to achieve the maximum profits and goodwill out of these strategies.
In Philippines tourism development, the structure consists of the service control and
accommodation of the tourists. The legislative factors, policies, and connections are the
structural sites of the governing bodies for the national level in the development of tourism
planning (Mason, 2015).
Regional level: This level is completely associated with the development of the specified
areas to attract tourism interest towards the destination along with strategic promotions and
policies. Philippines regional level planning provides the location and transportation facilities.
Jobs and other functional, supportive acts are controlled by the regional development planning

level to facilitate education and accommodation. The different destination of Philippines is
divided in the regional for implementing the strategies and planning of national level.
Sub-regional level: The features and functions of the regional s are divided into the sub
sections for implementing procedures and policies that are effective and easy. The collected
information of the sub-regional levels of Philippines help in the strategic planning for
development and services.
2.2 Find out the importance of interacting planning system and define its process in tourist
development.
The public and private partnership collaboration have accomplished the formation of
tourism development planning in the Philippines for interactive planning systems and procedures
that focus on the following issues in the development process:
 Volume and values are changing in the tourism sector, and local authorities take the
change to measure it, so that accurate information is gathered and are forwarded to the
national level of development planning systems. Thus, the effectiveness of the procedures
is measured by combing the information regarding changes in volume and values.
 Interactive processes and systems make it easier for the teams to share available
information and discuss for analysing the positive and negative impacts on the
development processes. The local community analyses the impact of the visitors for
enhancing support and services in the positive aspect and that can directly promote the
local market and literary.
 The various businesses at the destination development are easy to operate with
implementing the different practices and policies in accordance with the government. The

functions and approaches to Philippines business are governed by the local authorities in
the country.
 Interactive systems and procedures help in making more sophisticated marketing
development possible along with responsibility and planning. Effort and contribution of
development team multiply the effectiveness of the work.
 Development authorities like national and regional levels are benefited with information
that is collected from the surveys and evaluation events. These programs are organized by
the authorities that help in monitoring and guiding the work of development effectively.
 In order to meet the objectives of the development programs and organize sustainable
environment for tourism development, the competitiveness of participants plays a great
role and even the balanced local community strategies.
2.3 Define various methods available to measure tourist impact.
The single method cannot describe the impact of tourism in the Philippines. It defines
Two method which are useful to analyse the effect of tourism on economics. The economical
Method is used to analyse effects of economic on the country or the system method is used to
Analyse for monitoring the economic effect with changing needs.
1.Economic impact model-The values and volume changes are effectively measured,
analysed and estimated with this model. Economic development is mainly connected with
economic prosperity. The volume, value and effect of tourism can estimated with the help of this
two model which has been developed by individuals with their long experience of Uk tourism
cambridge economic impact and steam. The economic measures directly deals with the revenue
generated from tourist such as firm profit, profit return and number of employment increased.

Cambridge economic impact model-The greater amount of low-level data is used by this
model from the level of visitors and values generated from them. cambridge method helps in
easily approach useful information in lower cost. Within two stages of evaluation of impact, the
model first determines the size of the tourist industry and study the effect of visitors on the local
gathering in the country. And it works as gathering information about success and failure in
quality of good and service of local business and private sector.
STEAM model- steam model works as approaching the measurement of tourism from
bottom to up. This model has a strategy to accept the wide range of tourist input data. All of
these inputs adjusted monthly to reflect the seasonal differentiation in supply or demand.
TASK 3
3.1 what is the need for planning for sustainable development.
The theory of sustainability in travel expansion can be distinct as the method for meeting
the necessities of the travellers through increasing chances meant for surviving in the upcoming
lengthways through defence. Philippines is enriched by natural and cultural properties. The
tourism of Philippines requirements to stop the socio-cultural principles beside with the support
of the indigenous communal for employ and expansion to enrich and seek better options for
sustainable tourism.

TASK 4
4.1 Methods of resolving a conflict of interests to ensure the future well-being of a developing
tourism destination
Sustainability is major issue in tourism as like the other industries are also having, but for the
future well-being, the conflict of interest should be solved or resolve. The tourism of Philippines
can follow following methods to resolve the conflict are:
Interpersonal relationship among the stakeholders
The stake holders may face the conflict among themselves regarding the objectives, decision
making and profit in tourism. The terms and the reason of the conflict may be political issues,
principles of stake holders, decision making, planning, and allocation. The conflicts can be
reduced by the interpersonal communication and keeping transparency in approaches which will
lead the development of good accommodation in and around the destination. If the process of
communication is developed by the country, then it will become easier to resolve the conflict
(Yang.et.al.2014).
Enclave Tourism
The approaches are made to attract the customer of the market and benefits confirming the
tourism enclave. The process of enclave tourism can be eliminated by legislation policies and
implication. For the development of the tourism, the stake holder can introduce the politics for
dependency on the service (Witt.et.al.2013).

The relation between the guest and the host.
The hotels of Philippines can maintain the good relation with guest as the host to resolve the
conflict. Hosts are the people of the country where tourist used to go for a tour, and the guest is
the tourists itself (Prayag, 2015). The tourist should welcome properly with the warmth, and the
problems of the guest are solved then only the relation of the guest and the host become good for
example giving proper accommodation, food and fulfilling the demand of the tourist. Conflict
arise when a hotel is under more than one agency, and the hotels fail to supply the rooms to the
guest of any agency that time the conflict take place. (Ghimire, 2013).
Demonstration conflicts: When the behaviour and the change of demonstration in the
industry take place that time, the conflict among the stake holders happens. The good process of
communication and working collaboration can help to resolve the conflict among the stake
holders. For effective tourism, the changes should be observed (Nunkoo and Ramkissoon, 2013).
4.2 Implications of balancing supply and requirement
Demand is known as the buyer’s requirements or desired things. Buyers specifically focuses on
the quality of the product provided by the company. In the contrary, tourism demand is to know
how many peoples are travelling and their desired destination means where they want to visit.
Scope of tourism increased along with the demands of the destination. Necessity of the tourism is
evaluated with continuous use and regular consumption of the tourism associated products. With
increasing tourists demand for hotels is increasing, so the hotel at tourist destination should
provide the best accommodation and meals facilities to buyers. Tourist and tourism both are
completely depended on opportunities, seasons, and attraction
Supply

When, the demand of products and services at tourist places for tourist is available in known as
supply. Tourist guides with help travellers with transportation, communication, accommodation
and take them to attractive locations. For example, Philippine is the destination where a tourist
must visit, which also helps in increasing profitability of the tourism business. According to
tourist and department of tourism Philippine is being successful as a destination in everything
like accommodation, transport and attraction level. Supply of services should be proper as it will
directly affect the economy of the country.
4.3 Moral and ethical issues of enclave tourism
Enclave tourism is basically enclosed that is visits to only specific locations which are famous
and attractive. Tourists are not allowed to go out of remote are because it can be risky for them.
The tourism enclave consists of the islands, ships and resorts.
Besides, It can be said that enclave tourism is customized because it fulfils every needs and
wants of traveller. Communication of tourist and local people is very important because earnings
of localities depends on tourists. Ethical and moral problems in enclave tourism are as follows:
Like, in Philippine localities do not get chance to interact with tourist as tourist are not
allowed to visits enclave areas. This is no profit no loss situation for Philippine local retailers.
Historic and cultural places are affected by enclave tourism because travellers are
restricted to visit those places because of security concerns of the place.
This tourism lay negative impact on poor society as they do not get opportunity to earn
and try doing something which is wrong and illegal. Like gambling, prostitution etc.

TASK 5
5.1. Compare current issues associated with tourism development in a developing country and an
emerging destination where the impacts of tourism are different
Types of tourism and their impacts
Economic Impact: Benefit of tourism is to earn income from global level tourist. This
sector helps to develop the nation’s economy. Development of tourism sector helps in
eradicating the unemployment. Cultural heritages well preserved and got famous because of
tourist sector.
Social-cultural aspect: Tourism and travel industry helps to develop the country’s living
standards through interconnecting people of different backgrounds together. Mixing cultures of
different countries is because of travel and tourism industry, it also shows its impact on the host
country and its people.
Environmental aspect: Due to the tours and travels sectors places like historic places
and wildlife of the country get improved. In contrary, the environmental factors also get affected
by the different kind of travel and tourism motives.
Tourism in Developing and emerged countries
Growth and development of the economy affect these industries by the destination of the
country. The affect the vision of the tourist and is the major difference between both the
developed and developing countries. Discovery of new destinations in the economy is increasing
and creating difference in economy. But the scope of tourism is not increasing as it need to so
the state need to seek help from other emerging countries. For example countries like US and
UK has very beneficial tourism sector as per their per capita income. Also, the world bank
categorised tourist emerging countries accordingly.

Tourism in Nepal: Nepal a well known tourist destination. Its main attraction mountains,
flora and fauna. Besides this accommodation is cheap and affordable. Country is providing the
best tourist services successfully till now. For instance Nepal lacks the transportation facility for
its travellers as the country have narrow roads and too much traffic. Also, government failed to
have control over these uncertainties that is why the tourism is restricted because of terrorist
attacks.
Tourism in France:The country is developed, beautiful and attract lots of tourists. The
destinations in France attracts global travellers. The major problem come to tourist when they
visit France is language. There everything is explained and asked in written. The place is very
expensive, sometimes people lack income do not visit France because they can not even afford.
5.2. Estimate, with suggestions, the future development of tourism in these chosen destinations
However, at present tourism industry is facing problems, but the industry is expecting to
overcome this situation if the spending power increases globally. Both the countries are getting
advantage of social media promotion for the tourist destination. The countries now should focus
on increasing tourist destinations and safety. Adventure and nature are main trends to attract
tourist and affects the tourism of the countries worldwide.
In Nepal, basic factors which should be focused on are infrastructure and transportation facilities
for tourist. (Telfer and Sharpley, 2015). Besides, there is a need to develop comfortable and
affordable accommodation for travellers. Hungary has good infrastructure but both Hungary and
Nepal need to focus on language awareness among tourist industry of country.
At present terrorism is a threat worldwide to every country. Both the countries, need to create a
safe environment to visit for travellers. Central system of the country should evaluate the
policies, rules and regulation for tourism industry in the countries. (Edgell Sr, 2016). This will
help in promoting tourism industry in the country.

Recommendation for Nepal
Steps taken to Government of Nepal to develop tourism in Nepal
 Development in Transport facilities.
 Construction of new roads for easy and comfortable convenience
 Safe and secure environment for tourist should be ensured by the government of the
country.
 Affordable and comfortable accommodation and food for travellers
 Preservation of culture and historic places
Recommendation for France
Measures should be taken by government of France are:
 Sign boards written in English language so that it is easy for tourist to understand.
 Guidelines made by government should be clear to tourists
 Government should have a fix price or low price policy for tourist so that they do not feel
exploited when visiting to other country
