INTRODUCTION
Sustainable tourism is a concept of visiting a place as a tourist and for making a positive
impact on the economy, environment and society. Tourism also involve primary transportation at
a general location, entertainment, accommodation and shopping. The present report is based on a
Philippine case study, where president is focusing on development of tourism activity for
attracting more tourist. The present report covers, the advantage and disadvantage of public and
private sector tourism planning partnership is discussed. Along with this, Feature of tourism
development planning at different level is analysed. Apart from that, different method of
interactive planning system and process in tourism development is evaluated.
TASK 1
1.1 Discussing a way through which Stakeholder can benefit from planning of tourism
development.
Stakeholder play a significant role in the tourism industry and the stakeholders involved
in the tourism business are tourist, local community, government, in the international agencies
different types of organization and educational institutes. Tourism is one of the fastest growing
industries and it also brings a lot of economic benefits for the grownup country. According to the
case study of Philippines, stakeholders are important for this country in a tourism industry.
Further, there are some important stakeholders that are government, local resident and tourist
without this stakeholder the demand of tourism cannot be increased or managed. It is the
responsibility of the government to increase the demand of tourism among people so that
economy can be benefited. Further, if demand increase then employment opportunity will also
increase and it will beneficial for the country. Hence, to keep a demand of tourist high at a
Philippine country, it is necessary that the stakeholder suggestion and ideas is useful for tpoursim
development. There are different stakeholders of tourism industry which are discussed below
 Local resident: The Local resident is people who live in a country . People who live in a
country have lot of information about their nation and they can easily help the tourism
company in planning process. The Philippines tourism industry also made a promise to a
country that they will help in increasing employment opportunity and improving all rural
3

areas so that tourist like to visit there. Further, if all planning is done in a systematic
manner then it will help people of Philippine in raising their standard of living.
 Tourist: Tourist is also an important stakeholder of the tourism industry without them
tourism company cannot survive and earn profit. If tourist does not like to visit the
Philippine country then its economy will not grow because there is no flow of money
from another country. Further, all tourism activity and planning is done for attracting
tourist so they are important stakeholder for survival of the tourist industry. Furthermore,
for the benefit of customer/tourist, the tourism company needs to make a destination
more beautiful and attractive for grabbing the attention of tourists and for increasing the
demand. They are also required to focus on customer demand and improve that
destination which consumer like to visit more. Further, the tourism company can also
offer attractive service to the consumer and some benefit on tour package which
encourage them to visit the new place.
 Government; Government is an important stakeholder of the tourism industry. There are
many rules and regulation made by the government which helps the organization in
running its business smoothly. Without the support of government, all tourism activity
cannot perform smoothly. The government is also benefited from tourism industry that is
when people form other country came at Philippine destination then there is a floe of
money which help in the growth of the economy. Further, there is also an advantage for a
regulatory authority and nation in a tourism industry
1.2 Advantage and disadvantage of public/ private sector tourism planning partnership
There are several private firms which are operating at Philippine in the tourism industry.
Both the private and public sector run its business in their own way. Public sector organizations
are mainly run by a government which facilitates the transport facility and accommodation to the
customer. On the other hand, in a private sector it provides a facility such as hotel, restaurant and
another accommodation facility. All the private organization is privately owned and no there is
no interference of the government. According to the given case study of Philippine, the tourism
company of both private sector and public sector is merged which increases the scope of earning
profit and market share. At the time when both the companies are merged then they deliver high
quality services to the tourist. Further, both organizations are working together to increase the
4

resources. There are some advantages if public and private sector work together and that are as
follow
Shared risks: At the time, when both sector work together it help in reducing overall risk
of the firm. It result that higher profit can be earned with a low risk further there is higher
revenue gain which help growth of economy.
Increase productivity: Public/ private sector tourism planning plays an important role in
increasing productivity of the firm which supports in delivering fast service to the customer. At
the time when productivity increases, the company can earn a higher profit at low-cost
production.
 Innovative product: Partnership of public and private sector help in making innovative
product for its customer and further, they deliver high quality services to the tourist
which help in attracting more customers.
Disadvantage:
 Overuse of resources: Partnership of both the sector helps in increasing a resource,
when these resources are overused at the same time their may be a high wastage of the
that resources . Further, it may also harm the surrounding environment of Philippine.
 Loss of the government control: If both the sector works together then the government
may lose its power of making decision. There is a little control of government on price
making decision and affect the rule and regulation made by government.
2.1 Analyses features of tourism development planning at different level with reference to case
study
There are features are there which are involved in tourism development planning at a
different level according to the given case study of Philippine. It is necessary to meet the need of
tourist so that customer can be attracted toward the new destination. For this purpose, it is
necessary to plan a development of tourism at a different level. Further as per accordance to the
government rule and regulation tourism department is divided and the task is allocated to each
department. There are different level which are discussed below
 National level: At national level where development of planning is done for the tourist at
Philippine. It is necessary for the management of firm to coordinate wit large sector of
country. For this purpose different policy are made for the tourism sector by a
5

government . According to this policy tourist who visit Philippine must treat properly and
their should be no discrimination done between them at any level. Further destination
should not be destroyed or polluted by a people who are living their, it may be affect the
demand of customer.
 International level: At an international level tourism development planning is done at a
bigger level so that customer can be attracted toward the destination (Zhang, Lan Qi, .
and Wu, P., 2016.). In order to meet the needs and demand of people, it is necessary for
the government of Philippine that they develop their country in such a manner which can
attract the customers.
 At site level: At the site level, planning is a planning for construction leisure services and
developed an infrastructure. Further, it is necessary that tourist who visits Philippine
should get an effective transportation facility, hotel accommodation etc. All this thing is
necessary to develop for the comfort of tourist so that they like to visit again and again.
2.2 Significance of interactive planning system and process in tourism development
Planning refers to a process where the goal is set, strategies are developed, Task is
divided and time is set in order to achieve goal and objective. While interactive planing is the
process in which all stakeholder are involved in decision-making process. At the time of
planning it necessary to keep some factor in mind so that strategy cab is formulated. There are
some aspects of stakeholder such as Government, customer, local people etc which help in
making tourism development so their idea is very important for the Philippine. The higher tour
sits develop a suitable strategy and policy which help in the success of tourism development plan
(Sharpley and Telfer, eds., 2014.). The feedback system is introduced by the government which
helps in feeling the gap between actual desired of tourist and offer given by a tourist. In this
feedback is taken by a tourist which help in identifying the desired need of both existing and
potential customer. Interactive planning is very important for the tourist company as well as for
government so that suitable changes can be made in their tour package offer. Further, through
interactive planning tourist company and government can easily allocate the resources and used
it in effective way without wasting it. For example, tour-sit company needs to make a proper
interaction with a hotel and government authority of Philippine for this it is necessary to
introduce new technology and use it properly for staying connected with a different country.
6

Apart from this, tourism company need to introduce a tourist activity which help in not
pollute the environment or cause any damage to destination. For this purpose, government focus
on using a high tech aspect to reduce this pollution problem. Further, it can also state that if
stakeholder involve in a planning process which help in getting a innovative ideas and taking
effective decision. From the above, discussion it is clear that interactive planning and process in
tourism development is very helpful in for the Philippine.
2.3 Different method to measure tourist impact with references to Philippines case study
There are several method available which help in measure the tourist impact. There are
some positive and negative impact for this tour company need to formulate appropriate strategy.
By using this strategy it help in minimizing the negative effect while encourage the positive
impact. Both negative and positive impact can be measure by checking the environmental
condition as well as implication in surrounding society. There are some method discussed below
Economic measure: According to this, income of local people can be compared after and before
the season in which tourist visit the Philippine. Further this help in identifying how much profit
local resident earned form the tourism activities in their nation. Further it helps in measuring
whether this development is negative or positive for the country (Healy, van Riper and Boyd,
2016. ). There is a STEAM model which help in measuring the quantitative impact on the local
people. Along with this Cambridge economic model help in getting idea of economic impact of
tourist activity. This model have two stage, in first stage calculation done of the volume and
value of the day of visitor while in second stage economic impact of visitor on a local economy
can be calculated.
Environmental measurement: Environmental impact assessment is method which help
government of Philippine to measure a environmental effect of tourism. Through this
government can easily identify which tourist activity is harming the environment of Philippine
and which activity are safe for nation (Healy, van Riper and Boyd, 2016.). Further if any activity
affect the surrounding environments of destination then government can use environmental
impact assessment technique for protecting the environment. There is also another way though
which damage to coastal area can be reduce such techniques are environmental auditing. Apart
from this, it is necessary for the government of Philippine to protect the environment and
destination so that more tourist can attract toward the destination.

TASK 4
4.1 Evaluating method of resolving a conflict of interest and to ensure the future welbeing of
tourism development.
In the present time, conflict between different stakeholder become a threat for the tourism
company and for country growth and elopements. As per given scenario it is is clear that
president of Philippine is looking for the development of tourism in their country (Larionova, , ,
Zaitseva. and Zhukov, 2015). For this purpose it also visits to a different destination and posted
some picture of destination where it visits. In this case of Philippine, conflict arises when
president posted a image which it is touching the corals, as according to the law it is completely
prohibited to harm a natural beauty of nation. According to the rules and regulation tourism
company built a fragile of natural environment so that no human can destroy the environment. It
is necessary for the government of Philippine to take action for preventing the natural
environment so that no conflict can be arises between a stakeholder.
Furthermore, for resolving the conflict between stakeholder it is necessary to take some
preventive measure for protecting an environment (Larionova, Zaitseva and Zhukov, 2015). For
this government can adopt new development approaches and promote those tourist activity
which are not harmful for the environment. It can also implement an integrated coastal
management which help in protecting natural look and tourist also find it interesting. This coastal
management program also help in introducing an eco-friendly product which will support a local
community. The another conflict is that inporer behavior and disturbance for local people
because of intensive development and new hotels. This all negatively affected the people who
live near the forest area. There is also a conflict of privatization of interest among stakeholder for
making sure future well being. Further revenue of local people is getting low which increase the
8

conflict among them. To resolve this conflict government need to provide a employment
opportunity to a local people so that they get satisfied with a change taken in tourism
development.
4.2 Analyzing the implication of balancing supply and demand
Tourism industry of Philippine need to keep a proper balance between a supply and
demand for success. For a proper balance tourism company need to focus on what they are
offering to tourist so that they attract to come in their country. As Philippine is developing
country and it has a limited resource (Torres-Delgado and Saarinen, 2014). Which need to
preserve for fulfilling the needs and demand of tourist. Further it is necessary to do forecasting
that how much visitor visit in their nation if present and future. After analyzing future need
tourist company need to provide proper support to them so that demand of tourist can meet on
time. Further government need to take some action so that balance between supply and demand
can be fulfilled of tourism. Apart from that, local people also play an important role in meeting
the needs and demand of people. They can forecast in which area need to develop hotel for
tourist and transport facility, so that tourist not face any type of problem related to stay and
transport at a Philippine. Tourist company need to fulfill the needs and demand of tourist on
time, if not done so revenue can be decrease and industry may suffer from loss. In a Philippine,
tourist company is focusing on fulfilling the needs of tourist so that high revenue can be
generated which help in growth of economy.
4.3 Evaluating the moral and ethical issues of enclave tourism in the Philippine
Enclave tourism is a development of one area in appropriate way so that people not like
to visit that place again and again and avoid visiting other place. Tourism industry of Philippine
need to keep its customer satisfied by offering them various type of luxury services and render
them a good experience (Briassoulis and Van der Straaten, eds., 2013). Philippine is a
developing country so enclave tourism play an important role in its development. Tourist
industry of nation can develop a coastal area so that it can offer numerous services to its
customer such as, swimming, club etc. apart from that, there are some moral and ethical issue
arises due to enclave tourism. There is a little benefit to the local people and profit of hotel is
also declined because tourist like to stay near the destination. For resolving this problem it is
necessary that proper information related to a destination given tourist so that they not feel
9

dissatisfied or cheated. Further, fair transportation facility need to provide to tourist and a hotel
facility so that people not face any type of issues. Enclave tourism not benefited the the local
population in term of generating revenue. Further tourism company should bnot focus only on a
making a destination attractive but they also need to make sure that people live near the
destination may not be affect by their tourist activity.
TASK 5
5.1 Compare current issues associated with tourism development
Different country have a different culture and belief which is related with development of
tourism activities. There are some rules and regulation of different which need to be fulfilled at
the carrying out tourism activity. According to the given scenario chosen to develop country is
Philippine and emerging destination is Vietnam. The impact of tourism in both are different
which are presented below by using a comparative table
Basis of comparison Philippine Vietnam
Social culture Philippine is a developing
country and its social and
cultural aspects is different as
compare to other country.
Tourist who visit their have no
knowledge related to food
which is prepared in that
country. There is some
different between poor and
rich which is notice by a
people who visit in their
country. Due to this difference
between rich and poor affect
the tourism activity. Culture of
people is different which
indirectly impact the tourist.
In a Vietnam many tourist face
difficulty related to language.
It is so there are many people
who unable to speak English
and it effect tourism
development (Ruhanen, 2013).
Along with this people who
live their like to easy sea food
and mostly their sea food only
prepare which is not like by
many tourist as it results in
lower the opportunity of
development.
10

Economic impact There are some economic
impact on a Philippine
developing country. At the
present country is not earning
any revenue which is affecting
growth of economy. Further
this lead to poverty and
unemployment.
At a Vietnam there is a low
economic growth which are
affecting the qaultiy of
prodctus and services which is
failated to tourtist. There is no
investment which lead to
undeveloped destination. Now
Vietnam need to focus on
economic stability instead of
focusing on tourism activity.
Environmental Population of country is
increasing and resources
available there are scared such
as land, water etc which
affecting a people who are
living their. This scarcity of
land and water also impact the
tourism activity and its
development(Lee, 2013).
Some important destination of
Philippine is Coastal area and
water bodies which grab
attention of tourists and
travelers. Due to increase in
population it peoples are not
taking care its surrounding
environment which may
pollute water bodies. Water is
getting polluted which is
Vietnam is emerging
developed country where
growth of travel and tourism is
high. Due to high growth
problem of deforestation.
Natural environment is affects
which indirectly lead to affect
the travel and tourism
company. To overcome this
issue it is necessary that
government formulate some
strategies so that entire country
can be prevent from negative
environmental impact.

who are living their and
number of tourist who are
visiting that place

soil.
 It is also recommended that tourism
company need to focus on need and
demand of customer and serve them a

and preference of consumer.
