TASK 1
1.1. How different stakeholders would be benefited from tourism development planning
Travel and tourism is a sector which bring together different stakeholder with various
gaols and objectives in order to achieve a common purpose. The various stakeholder involved in
tourism business are Government, tourism industry, local community and tourist.
Government- It is the responsibility of the government of Qatar to form rules and
regulations and provide a regulatory framework which address all the factors of the tourism in
Qatar. TDS s the department which takes care of the tourism sector in the nation. This authority
develop and design rules and regulations for tourism sector so that it can make development and
growth by attracting number of tourist.
Tourism Industry- It is a sector which covers various other industries like hospitality,
transportation and others. All these sectors are growing along with the growth of the tourism in
the nation. Hospitality industry is the one which is beneficial for the tourism in Qatar.
Tourist- They are the most important stakeholders in the tourism sector. There are
number of tourists and they go on tours for their different purposes like some for study purpose,
some for fun whereas some goes to meet their family and friends. These tourists get benefited by
the good policies and services of the tourism sector and easier visa processing system of Qatar.
Tourism is one of the fast growing industry across the globe and its development will
help stakeholder in certain ways such as development of tourism in Qatar will establish more

employment opportunity for the local community by providing high opportunity for
employment. It will help in achieving competitive edge over other competitors in the industry by
providing better services to its stakeholders. By providing more employment opportunities and
growth options for example, small business like cafes, coffee shops etc. It will help the
government in terms of site planning and will facilitates better interpretation with visitors as their
needs a have been analysed and have been given due importance (Saufi, O'Brien and Wilkins,
2014).
1.2.The advantages and disadvantages of public-private sector partnerships (PPP) in tourism
planning and development at the Qatar
The public and private partnerships can enhance the destination with use of better
collaboration. This partnership is associated with certain advantage and disadvantage that can
be further expressed below-
Advantage
It can help in combining the power of both local government along with private sector in
Qatar. They can combine their power of authority and capital in order to facilitates sustainable
development. The main role of the government in the working in participating is to make the
rules, legislation and laws to govern and monitor the tourism activities. They help in providing
resources to the private organisations so that they make development in the sites which help in
gaining attention of number of customers. In this manner different factors such as legal issues,
community integration and economic growth can be tackled in an efficient manner. The
partnership can enhance the employment possibilities and can facilitates better control on
development work. For example, if two small companies make partnership than they have more
resources and make better control on the business of the firm in an effective manner. The number
of employees are increased so the production of the firm also increased and profitability will
enhanced in positive manner. Movement of private sector that focusses on maximum usage of
resources can be controlled by public sectors. This partnership can establish more efficient
distribution of market share and responsibility of these sectors towards community (Ekinci,
2014). When the organisation merge in context of partnership than they cover a wide area and it
help in increasing customer base. So it help in increasing market share but for this they will show
their responsibility towards community by providing better services to them.
Disadvantage
