INTRODUCTION
Sustainable tourism is broad concept of visiting of the tourist so that it will help to make
a positive impact upon an environment. In the same way it is characterized by enhancing the
well-being of communities as well the social and cultural well-being too. In the same way, the
current study main purpose is to provide the deep understanding of sustainable tourism. The
chosen destination is London which has its so many tourist destinations who also contribute for
the growth of economy. The report will describe stakeholders who benefited from planning and
also understand different approaches as well a provide importance of interactive planning
system. Further, report describe deep understanding of sustainable tourism and then describe
current issues related to tourism development planning as well. Lastly, through comparison,
report help to understand socio-cultural, environmental and economic impacts of tourism.
TASK 1
1.1 Discuss how different stakeholders would benefit from development of tourism industry in
London
Stakeholder are person, organization, social group or society that has interest in the operation of
the organization operation. As Travel and tourism industry is one of the biggest industry in the
London. In 2016 the industry made a total contribution of approximately 217 billion British
pounds to GDP in the UK number of stakeholder are also very high in it. In the case of the
London the main stake holder for the organization are:
Government: It is the main stakeholder which will be benefited by the development of tourism
and planning in the country as it will help the country in seeing more foreign money in the
country and government of UK also earns good amount of revenue from the Travel and tourism
industry.
Local community: Development of the Travel and tourism industry in the London will help the
local community in getting more employment opportunity as compare to the past as the
requirement of human resource in the travel and tourism industry is much higher than the service
providing company.
Depended Industry: This are the another big stakeholder which will be benefited by the growth
of the travel and tourism industry in the London as there are many industry which are depended
on the tourism industry for the growth such as hotels, airlines and local transports etc. Hospitality
industry is the one which is benefited a lot by the tourism in London (Jones, Wicks and Freeman,
1

2017).
1.2 Advantages and disadvantages of public-private sector partnerships (PPP) in tourism industry
of London.
Public private sector partnership is the collaboration between government and private sector
company for the purpose of doing business.
Advantage of Public Private Sector Partnership
Resource Availability: The biggest advantage which has been brought by PPSP is that it has
helped the industry in getting more efficient resource to carry out the operation of the business
as compare to the past as there are many resources which are not available for the private sector
in past.
Infrastructure Development: It is the another benefit of PPSP as the UK government used to
give the contract to the private company in the UK for maintaining the infrastructure of heritage
which helps the industry in improving the infrastructure of the country as well as it help the
tourism industry in attracting the customer (Muresan And et.al., 2016).
Disadvantages of Public private sector partnership
Coordination and communication: It is the biggest disadvantage of Public private sector
partnership as it always get difficult for both company to fix a good coordination and the
communication but if there is any political cries in the country then it get difficult for public and
private company which can harm the tourism industry of the London.
Control: Including Private company in the operation with the public company may result in
loosing the control of government over the natural resources of London which will harm tourism
industry of the London.
TASK 2
2.1 Describing features of Tourism development planning at different levels
There are four main types of level for tourism development planning and these are as
mentioned below:
International level: At this level, the international organization should work to promote
the policies made by government in order to make amendments related to economic and social
well being of people. World Travel and Tourism Council, World Wildlife Fund, World Tourism
Organization are some international level participation groups. Even UNESCO promote and also
2

help the destination in order to attain the fair place so that they directly support cultural diversity
and also protect heritage sites too.
National level: the planning is concerned with the tourism policy, infrastructure facilities
which helps to attract tourist towards them. The policy work at national level also concern with
quality of accommodation and other tourist facilities (Chen, 2015). ABTA, AITO and National
Trust are some example which work under this.
Regional level: The policy looks at regional level such that transportation facilities and
services, location of tourist accommodation like hotels. For instance, Visit London is an official
site which helps tourist in their planning. Further, they will also manage socio-cultural,
environmental and economic level planning so that it will help to attract tourist.
Local level: The strategic plan is rely directly on international body to promote as well as
protect the destination. The approach and implementation of tourism policy is differ between the
destination (Avruch and Black, 2019). This type of planning has detail plan which include water
supply, types of service offer and different number of accommodation.
2.2 Importance of interactive planning systems
Interactive planning is one of the most important part of London because its main aim is
to provide guidelines as well as it is responsible for the promotion, and also accessible tourism
development in the globe. Moreover, the interactive tourism planning is also coordinate with
national as well as international stakeholders related to planning and implementation of the
tourism projects (Wallensteen, 2018). For instance, the main aim of WTO is to help members in
order to maximize the positive economic effects that creates direct impact upon the tourism.
Therefore, planning is regulating the change in a system in order to make sure that the
development is achieved as per the intension and it also provide the environment and economic
benefits to the development.
In addition to this, the tourism planning process destination in London main aim is to
develop the tourism sector at different level and also help in the development of market as well.
So that it directly increase an employment opportunities. Thus, by setting up these objectives, the
planning process is implemented in better way so that it will directly attracts large number of
tourist towards them (Osei-Kyei and Chan, 2015). On the other side, while implementing the
interactive planning system, there may be different issues. Or if the plan did not give a clear
3

statement related to aim and objectives then it may fail. Moreover, there may be conflict between
the government and local community and at that time, the local community should know the
benefit of tourism industry so broadly and they should also participate in the planning as well.
2.3 Describing some method to measure tourist impact
In order to determine or measure the tourist impact, there are various methods such that:
Social Measure: it is analysed that the socio- cultural aspect are consider one of the most
difficult to measure as well as quantify and it is so because it is quite qualitative and subjective
in nature (Holland, 2017). Therefore, it may be measured through outbreak of particular types of
disease as well as crime rates etc. but on the other side, changes in customs and code of conduct
are difficult to manage. But it can be measure through primary research such as survey as well as
interview, through which it will help to attain the aim and objectives.
Environmental Measure: The environment impact association helps to measure the
effects of environment activities on the tourism from the future. Even it is also necessary to use
early stages of the tourism development so that it will help to avoid environment damage as well.
In addition to this, different forms of tourism development will bring including their impact upon
the environment n which it already takes place.
Economic measure: For this, STEAM is the model that is used to measure the tourism
from the bottom up. Further, the model also used numbers of local economics which creates
direct impact upon the tourism and even it also use contribution of different organization at
different level too.
TASK 3
3.1 Concept of sustainability
Sustainable tourism is the concept that is derived from the sustainable development
which direct attempts to creates low impact on the environment as well as local culture at the
time of generating income and employment (Lee and Jan, 2019). Therefore, it shows that it is
ecologically and culturally sensitive and also provides an organizing concept for the
development of all the eco- tourist steps. Even the government also develop some sustainable
tourism principles for providing best and sustainable eco-tourism such that using resources in
sustainable way and mainly focus on reducing over- consumption and waste.
On the other side, in London, the government also take initiatives in order to maintain the
tourism destination better such that it maintain biodiversity, also integrates tourism into planning,
4

further involve all local communities as well. Thus, these principles provides support, care and
planning as well as monitoring of all the eco- tourism destinations. Further, the government also
take best initiatives as well as strong measures for the local participation for both plan – making
process as well as take better decision as well. Therefore, the sustainable tourism involve the
stakeholders, governments and all the non- government organization as well as local
communities in order to promote the tourism to visit the place without harming an environment.
3.2 Factor that prevent as well as hinder sustainable tourism development
There are different factors which prevent the the sustainable tourism development:
Increase regulatory pressure: the government regularly creates pressure among local
community with regards to develop strategies related to sustainable strategies. Therefore, in the
same way, this increase pressure creates direct impact upon the tour operators and promote to
generate eco- tourism in the country (Maxim, 2016).
Creating awareness : the government start taking initiatives in order to promote
sustainable tourism within the country and this awareness helps to prevent the sustainable
tourism development. Such that government provides code of conduct for safe, develop some
campaign in order to promote the tourist. Thus, this shows that it prevent sustainable tourism
development.
There are different factors which hinder the the sustainable tourism development:
Slows down the global tourism market: The sudden slows down the global tourism
market creates direct negative impact upon the sustainable tourism development. It is so because
If tourist faces issues related to terrorist attack then they did not prefer to visit the place again
(Muresan And et.al., 2016). As a result, it will affect the overall global market in negative way
and on the other side, it creates hindrance in the sustainable tourism development plan too.
Recession tourism: The main idea of sustainable tourism is to support the economic
growth at the time of recession in order to promote the tourism in the country. Therefore, if the
country is faces issues related to financial condition, then it direct creates impact upon the overall
performance and as a result, tourist affected. As a result, it creates hindrance in the sustainable
development.
33.3 Identify and analyse the various stage of sustainable tourism development planning with
example drawn from the case study destination.
The concept of sustainable tourism is a type of process that help to generate outcome of global
5

concern over tourism. In context of tourism, it has been preserving and appreciating the
environmental quality without distributing the proper maintenance of resources which are
considered the sustainable tourism. It provides the offers related the tourism development in the
different forms but accepts the overall sustainability principles and its economic opportunities.
This concept is mainly generating the new tourist group in the global market. There are different
types of steps applicable in the sustainable tourism development planning.
 Step:1 it is initial step to identify the desirable aim of sustainable development and
understand the overall procedures in the sustainable development.
 Step:2 It is second step to identify the stakeholder in the tourism industry which are
participating significant role in the business. it considered when how they should involve
in the sustainable tourism industry. It also identifies that how to develop the working
relationships.
 Step:3 it is also another step to identify existing theory and source of information
regarding the sustainable development. in this step, it also summarises the current
information about the potential tourism markets. It also determined the heritage assets,
themes and its values.
 Step:4 in this step, it can be determined the specific regions, product and place.
 Step: 5 It is last step to determine the issues and problem that affects on the destination
place of tourism industry.
 Step:6 in this step for further analysis and clarify the issues and overcome them by
applying an effective strategy.
TASK 4
4.1 Discuss about the issues of conflict of interests and also determine the methods of resolving a
conflict of interests to ensure the future wellbeing using examples from your case study
destination.
Conflict of interest is a type of situation in which internal auditors in tourism industry, who are
responsible for maintaining the trust and also competing the personal interest. It is to be
considered the unethical behaviour in tourism industry.
Issues of conflict:
There are different types of issues of conflict such as self-dealing, influencing peddling, by
6

using confidential data or information, outside employment. These are depending on the situation
and condition in tourism industry that has chances to increases.
Method of resolving conflict:
there are various methods of resolving conflicts. One of the most famous method is
negotiation where both the parties can negotiate and reach to a conclusion. Another method is to
surrender where one of the party surrenders and agrees to other person. surrendering to another
individual most of the time helps in resolving a conflict. Compromising is another method
through which conflicts can be resolved (Chen, 2015). Using this method one of the party or
sometimes both the parties compromise and reach to a conclusion.
These are an effective method in the tourism industry to improve the services effectively
and efficiently. It help for resolving the problem that occurs during business operations and
functions.
4.2 Analyse the implications of sustainable tourism development (STD) for balancing supply and
demand in your chosen destination.
Demand can be defined as products quantity which is desired by potential buyers in the
market. Whereas supply can be described as goods that are supplied in market. There are
requirements to make balance between demand and supply properly. Sustainable development
practices are helpful in managing natural resources in efficient manner. By this way wastage will
be low and the natural beauty is sustain for longer term gain. Tourist are attracted by the natural
beauty and also the places which are famous to visit and carry some speciality. Thus, if there is
huge demand of such place than also it resulting in causing high range in supply (Steiner, 2018).
As it can be examined through economic factors as well. It results in raising economic benefits if
country gets more visitors to visits such places which is unique and majorly focused on natural
beauty.
Thus, the impact arises in respect of spending huge amount to maintain the proper place
so that it result in bringing more visitors to such places which results in increasing the demand
and also the business are selling their products to visitors. Through this perspective it result in
increasing supply of such products and services. To maintain sustainable tourism in environment,
it result in affecting the environment through constructing on attractive places to make it more
unique. With this aspects it affects the environment at major aspects but in future results to high
7

tourist attraction. Thus, by balancing the demand and supply in tourism sectors resulting in
managing the cost activity in better aspects. As tourism sectors is the top most industry which is
earning at high level and also people preferring the innovative packages through which they
cover the major aspects. In such perspective they are balancing the economy of the country in
better way.
4.3 Evaluate the moral and ethical issues of developing and promoting enclave tourism with
examples
In simple words, enclave tourism is refer to the destinations where most visitors activities
is planned effectively and congregated in small geographic area, seeking to permit travellers to
experience the entire journey of their travel without travelling far away or out of areas. With the
help of enclave tourism, organizations increase their profit they can reduce spending money on
other facilities. But due to some ethical and moral problems promotion and development of
enclave tourism get affected which is not appropriate for chosen destination that is London.
Without collecting information about consumers preferences, government of London will not be
able to promote and develop enclave tourism which is quite essential for them
(Osei-Kyei and Chan, 2015).
It consider as ethical issues which negatively affect the overall procedure and make
barriers in development of it. Furthermore, economic weakness of nation is one of the ethical
issue that impact on government of country. Due to this the promotion of enclave tourism is not
been possible, to implement domination of other companies in enclave tourism, London has to
form strategies and policies related to tourism which is highly effective and beneficial to protect
interest of nation. Lack of recognition is of the morale problem that create barriers for
developing enclave tourism within London effectively. Without recognizing the significant of
tourism promotion activity has not been possible for the government. Due to this issue the
operational efficiency get lower and the implementation of procedure is get failed.
TASK 5
5.1 Current issues associated with tourism development in a developing country
Current issues related to change in climate, depletion of resources, health and wellness
are the issues that are majorly arising in London. This help in providing effective use of
resources that create changes in various perspective for the future. Travel and tourism sector is
8

facing many problems that help in evaluating changes that majorly emphasize in providing
different destination to consumers. Change in climate affect customer attraction towards the
company and decreasing customer insight that provide decrease in enhancing business operations
for the future (Avruch and Black, 2019). There are various destinations that help in evaluating
changes that create effectiveness in evaluating and provide different aspect for providing changes
and evaluating destination that enhance and bringing changes for the future. This lead in
providing changes that analyse destination and evaluating various aspect for gaining changes in
the company. It provides different changes that help in managing various changes in evaluating
different aspects in the company.
5.2 Recommendations
It can be recommended that for future development London destination have to improve
its services for the purpose of enhancing various aspects for the future. It should have to provide
various changes that will be made in evaluating various perspective for gaining changes in
business and creating different segments (Coccossis, 2016). It should be recommended that
providing these aspects lead in emphasizing strategies that will help in developing future
development of these destinations.
CONCLUSION
From the above study the sustainable tourism sectors resulting in getting more advantages
to people by increasing the employment opportunities and causing low impact on environment.
As tourist sectors is one of the most earning sectors and also requires lot of modification to
attract customer needs and demands. To maintain sustainability in tourism development it
requires positive response of local people as through this aspect they earn more profits and also
manage their living standard in better manner. The impact arises in respect of environmental,
Social and economic aspects, which requires proper strategies to engages their business into
tourism sectors in london.
