This study includes the various features for the tourism development planning at various levels.
To understand it better the national, international, regional and sub-regional level has taken place
under it. The processes and procedures of tourism planning with reference to Qatar has also
included herein.
P 2.1 Analyse features of tourism development planning at different levels with reference to
Qatar.
All the levels greatly support their next level in the structure of planning for tourism
development. In order to examine the features of travel and tourism enlargement planning at
various levels with the reference to Qatar is stated under-
National Level International Level Regional Level Sub- Regional Level

P 2.2 Evaluate the significance of interactive planning systems and processes in tourism
development with reference to Qatar.
There are various approaches which get used for attaining the goals of the tourism and travel
development. Some of those approaches are discussed below with the systems and procedures of
tourism development.
(Figure: Tourism Development)
(Source : Taylor & Francis Online, 2017)
 Interactive- According to Deraman, et. al., (2017), it is known as the collaborative approach
which includes the collaboration of all the local authorities with the public travel and tourism. As
same it also involves the regulatory establishment for making the various plans for the
improvement of tourism (Deraman, et. al., 2017).
 Conventional- According to Croce, et. al., (2017), conventional approach basically focuses on
the reactive approach to planning. It involves the required changes time to time for making the
tour of Qatar effective and efficient.
11

 Boosterism- This approach of tourism growth and development mostly focuses on simulating
the industry of tourism so that the economy of the nation can get increased properly. The
boosterism approach does not focus on those practices which are sustainable but yes it looks
upon the economic growth and development of the nations via tourism (Croce, et. al., 2017).
‘
12

P 2.3 Evaluate different methods available to measure tourist impact with reference to
Qatar.
For identifying the improvement level measuring the impacts of tourist with reference to Qatar is
importantly required. Measuring the impacts of the results greatly helps in the provisions of
changes in the value of tourism and travel at the local level. As same it also helps in the planning
of strategies as per the changed trend or data. It includes all the negative or positive impacts.
Some of the methods of measurement are discussed below-
 Pro-Poor Tourism- It is the approach of tourism which helps in generating the actual benefits
for the poor. As same it also focuses on the development and growth of the policies and
procedures if tourism which contributes to improving the tourism and benefits the poor too.
 Cambridge Economic Impact Model- According to Cornelissen, (2017), the main objective of
this method is too calculating the actual value of the tourism in the local economies. This model
basically uses the local statistics and data for calculating the actual value. The model of
Cambridge economic impacts considers the two different stages. The first stage includes the
calculation of volume and value of the travelers who are staying in that area. After this, it also
examines the impacts of the travelers or the visitors total spending on the local economy. This
method mostly gets used by the local authorities as because it is very affordable (Cornelissen ,
2017).
 Environmental Impact Assessment- EIA attractively helps in measuring the cost to the
environment while developing the tourism in the nation. This procedure or method helps in
collecting the required data and information regarding the places of Qatar. After this, it calculates
all the damages which have been taken place for finding the feasibility of the activities of
tourism development. It has been observed that the environmental damages are hard to measure
perfectly as because it is partially unpredictable.
Conclusion
This report includes the study about various methods which are available for measuring the
impacts of tourism with reference to Qatar in an appropriate manner.

Task 3
P 3.1 Justify the introduction of the concept of sustainability in tourism development with
reference Qatar
P 3.2 Analyse factors that may prevent/hinder sustainable tourism development with
reference to Qatar
P 3.3 Analyse different stages in planning for sustainability with reference Qatar.
14

15

Speaker Notes- The actual concepts of sustainability in tourism development has explained
here. It also includes various factors which negatively or positively impacts the tourism
development in reference to Qatar.
16

Speaker Notes- According to Fauzel, et. al. (2017), there are so many factors such as
environmental, socio-cultural and economic factors greatly impacts on the growth of the tourism
and travel with reference to Qatar. This presentation also explains that the increased budget
greatly contributes to becoming knowledgeable about the increased number of outside tourists.
17

Speaker Notes--This presentation continues with making an understating about all those factors
which are positively and negatively impacting the development of tourism with reference to
Qatar
18

Speaker Notes- This presentation helps in underrating all those factors which prevent and
hinders the development of sustainable tourism of Qatar. It includes the management of
operations, ideology of the consumers, required changes, level of interest of the stakeholders and
etc.
19

Speaker Notes- This slide explains about all those various stages which attractively contributes
to the growth and development of tourism. It includes the preparation of a budget for the outside
visitors, potential places for attracting the visitors and the proper identification of the
stakeholders as well.
20

Speaker Notes- According to Lew, et. al. (2017), this slide also explains about some of the
important or next stages in order to plan the successful development fo tourism. It includes the
proper investigation, providing best services to the customers, licensing of accommodations and
etc. (Lew, et. al., 2017).
21

Speaker Notes- This presentation helps in understanding the importance of developed tourism.
The developed tourism greatly helps in the economy of the country by generating the revenues
from both international and domestic tourists. It is very important to take care of needs and
requirement for the employees in a proper manner for attracting the visitors. The proper
maintenance of infrastructure, security and safety should be taken care of.
22

23

Task 4
P 4.1 Evaluate methods of resolving a conflict of interests to ensure the future wellbeing of
a developing tourism destination such as Qatar.
It has been observed that because of the difference in the interest of two parties the situation of
conflicts arises. Many of the time involving so many stakeholders also become the reason for
conflicts in the business. There are so many stakeholders are involved in the tourism of Qatar
with their different mindset and interests as well. Government shows their interest in growing
their economy through the development of tourism. In order to run the business of tourism, it is
very important to reduce all the conflicts so that a successful image of this business can build up.
Below are some procedures of reducing a conflict of interests for ensuring the wellbeing of a
enlarging tourism destination with reference to Qatar.
 Tour Operators- According to Sasidharan, (2017), most of the tour operators have the
collaboration with similar hotels for providing the accommodation services to the visitors. It is
true that the conflicts can arise between the hotel and operators as well as between the two
different operators also about acquiring the services and hotels of the same hotel (Sasidharan,
2017). This kind of issues should get resolved in a proper time frame as because it becomes the
reason of loss or negativity of the business in the competitive market.
 Guest Host relationship- According to McCamley, (2017), for attracting the customers it is
importantly required for all the hosts to welcome the guests with the grace. If in case, the guest
will feel any kind of negligence from the side of a host, it can arise conflicts. This issue can arise
in the peak time as because the host becomes unable to manage their busy schedule and guest
become dissatisfied with this. For reducing this issue it is important to find out the perfect
solution to it so that all the customers can feel happy and satisfied as well. Satisfying the
customers in proper manner attractively helps in taking the business on top in the target market.
(McCamley, 2017).


P 4.2 Analyse the implications of balancing supply and demand with reference to Qatar.
It has been observed that the supply and demand are very much important for balancing the
conquer of the sector of tourism. Supply actually meant by reaching to the customers with their
desired services and products. The law of supply in Qatar shows that the raised prices at tourism
and destination services also raise the amount of the services of the seller.
According to Nafi, et. al., (2017), supply in the sector of tourism and travel is known as the
procedure to market assets, products and services to enjoy and purchased by the travellers. The
supply of the products and services in the tourism of Qatar is mainly based on the balanced use
of demand and supply laws. There are around four various laws for implicating the supply and
demand in the scenario of higher damages. The visitors remain restricted to some of the
particular areas and become unable to see the actual heritage and culture of the country. It affects
the reduction of the visitors at the historical places. Most of the times it also can get seen that the
demands remain the same and the supply gets arise. Sometimes the unchanged supply of the
services with the decreased requirements also creates the problems in form of surplus issues
which negatively affects the prices. At the other hand reduction in the supply with the stable
values of demands increases the prices at the greater level. That is why the balance between of
demand and supply should get maintained in an appropriate manner for ensuring the sustainable
growth. It also helps in taking the business to its success point with the goodwill into the target
market (Nafi, et. al., 2017).
(Figure: Demand and Supply)
25

(Source: Key Differences, 2014)
According to Cheer, et. al., (2017), supplies and demand generally includes the various services
in part of infrastructures such as transportation, accommodation, and telecommunication to the
travellers. The main services get provided by the tourism organisations of Qatar to the visitors, as
because all the services are mainly constructed for supporting the visitors. The services of supply
can also get balanced and maintained with the constructions of ski slopes, museum, theme parks
and etc. Qatar also uses the promotion and marketing of the destination or places through the
quotes, images, and poster in the public places for encouraging the visitors for making the visits
(Cheer, et. al., 2017).
26

P 4.3 Evaluate the moral and ethical issues of enclave tourism in Qatar.
According to Puntscher, et. al., (2017), enclave tourism basically means to help the customer
with all-inclusive services for reducing the opportunities for local businesses for serving the
customers. The enclave prevents the development of travel and tourism in the nation and as
same encourages all the visitors for using the services from the hotel for their every requirement
during their stay. For request, the tourist in five-star hotel and ships of Qatar are so enclave for
meeting their each and every requirement and need so that the restaurants and local hotels do not
get chances for elaborating the social and cultural values with the travelers. In this manner, the
ethical and moral issues come into the scene between the local community or society and
beneficiary big associations for the survivability and economic growth (Puntscher, et. al., 2017).
According to Soulard, et. al., (2017), the moral issues also get faced in the form of fewer co-
operations with travel and tourism in a nation as because visitors do not get the opportunities for
feeling the native environment. In enclave tourism, there is the higher level of leakages of
services as the restaurant and hotels import the food and services from the various cultures of
various nations. In the large size of hotels, there is a little co-operation as guests and hosts as
because they hardly meet to each other due to complexity in the operations of the business
(Soulard, et. al., 2017).
27

Task 5
P 5.1 - Compare current issues associated with tourism development in a developing
country and an emerging destination where the impacts of tourism are different.
Qatar comes in one of the richest economies in the entire world based on the GDP per capita.
Qatar with other natural resources includes the foodstuffs and natural gas for around % of the
nation’s gross domestic product. Comparison of current problems is associated with the
development of tourism in a developing country of Bhutan and emerging destinations of Qatar. It
has been well described below on the basis of an economic, environmental and socio-cultural
environment of both of these.
Basis Qatar as an Emerging
Destination
Bhutan as a Developing
Country
Economic According to Rout, et. al., (2017), the
issues which are somehow
related to the economic
condition can get accessed
with speculation for setting up
the tourism industry in Qatar.
A good economic situation of
the country helps in improving
the efficiency of the places of
Qatar (Rout, et. al., 2017).
According to Ghosh, et. al.,
(2017), the strong potential of
the nation gracefully helps in
improving the economic
situation of Qatar. It has been
observed that the all the
economic effects such as
negative or positive are
completely based on the
different situations (Ghosh, et.
al., 2017).
Environmental It is well known that the economic

It also includes the heat

(Brebbia, et. al., 2017).
Socio-Cultural According to Roberts, et. al., (2017),
the success of tourism industry
also affects the socio-cultural
environment of Qatar in such
a negative manner. With the
integration of various cultures
for the travel and tourism,
there are so many problems
which can get experieced from
the side of socio-cultural. For
meeting the needs and
requirements of the visitors,
child labor gets increased in
the higher manner (Roberts,
et. al., 2017).
It is true that the enlargement in the
Industry of tourism becomes a
big reason for the increased

segment tries to match the

It also damages the local
culture of its nation.
29

P 5.2 – Evaluate, with recommendations, the future development of tourism in these chosen
destinations.
As discussed plan of sustainable tourism development is the only one which can help in reducing
all the negative impacts over the tourism in the various nation such as Qatar and Bhutan. The
opposite or negative side will come off with the different interest of all the stakeholders which
are quite related to the industry of tourism. It makes it very difficult to meet all the needs and
requirements for sustainable tourism expansion plan. The proper utilisation of the assets by
enhancing the extended-term socio-economic profit to the stakeholders are importantly required
to get considered for expanding the sustainable development plan for the nations. The constancy
in securing the environment and various opportunities of income is required to get involved in
the planning of sustainable development. The most three areas are importantly required to get
focused on, which are as follows-
 Social- According to Ghosh, et. al., (2017), empowering the decision making the process of the
workers and local groups should get supported for establishing a responsive environment in the
various nation's. Restriction of the child labor, defence of women equality of gender and etc. are
the various steps which should get implemented in (Ghosh, et. al., 2017).
 Environmental- The sustainable use of the resources by minimising the wastage of energy and
water should get considered for increasing the awareness of tourism. It should get include in with
the aim of reducing all the negative impacts on biodiversity.
 Economic- According to Vanhove, (2017), the economic success of the nation is also related to
the competency development, capabilities of earning and employment as well. It is important for
the government demands to plan for using the foreign currencies efficiently in all those nations
for the growth of livelihood (Vanhove, 2017).
Some of the recommendations are given below in the context of it-
 According to Roberts, et. al., (2017), in order to improve this situation the government is
required to take some initiatives for putting the signboard with English communication so that
the tourist can feel easy with directions.
 The materials of shopping should get provided at the cheaper rates so that the visitors can afford
the prices easily to buy those products.
30

 Best utilisation of the languages should take place for the outside tourists.
 The needs and requirement of the customer should be taken on priority basis so that they can get
satisfied. This practice will help the country in attracting a lot of visitors towards the country.
 Programs of skill improvement will also be beneficial for the country in an attractive manner. It
will greatly help in promoting the country (Roberts, et. al., 2017).
31
