INTRODUCTION
Sustainable tourism is defined as an industry which is committed to make an impact on
environment and culture of a region or country. It is considered as a bridge between all the
aspects of tourism which helps the country in conserving biodiversity. The regional
diversifications can be developed by the way of effective and efficient development os
sustainable resources. Sustainable tourism is economically, environmentally sustainable in the
way that all economies are developed in generating employment opportunities. The impacts that
caters to tourism sustainability are not permanent but can be changed according to the changes in
political scenario of the economy. This report explains about the sustainable tourism, its planning
process and all the stakeholders that are being benefited by the planning process of public and
private sector partnerships.
TASK1
P1.1 Benefit of Stakeholders in planning
There are various planning processes that can be beneficial for stakeholders in order to
analyse tourist destination. The tourist will be benefited by the planning and development in the
touring spot because the tourist will get to know about new and new locations and destinations
that will be beneficial for gathering of more number of tourist. This will help in developing
economies of scale. By doing this government will be benefited in the way foreign exchange will
enter economy that will be used for developing the sector. People will also be developed on the
path of employment providence to them. Business as well as personal opportunities are more
which will help people in generating better standard of living and they will earn more livelihood
for themselves. Another benefit is the benefit of companies. Employment opportunities will
develop job in the national regions. This will be beneficial for economic development as gross
domestic product will increase and the people will have the option to buy variety of products and
services. These benefits are a boom for economy because if these are generated the benefit of
providing grants to other nations can be generated.
P1.2 Advantages and Disadvantages of Public- Private sector Partnership
Every economy which is growing and developing the business will have the mixture of both the
sectors that are working together in achieving the success of the nation. Even private sector
sometimes is dependent on public sector for providing monetary benefits to run and develop
1

business organizations. As far as London is considered the major advantage of implementing the
funds of the Govt. to develop services which will generate more and more number of tourist.
Also, the facilities provided by the private sector will be governed by the public sector and the
economy can be benefited to a large extent. One of biggest disadvantage of this partnership is
that the public sector wants to develops per the necessities of consumers but private sector wants
to develop it through innovation and development. This will be a negative point in terms of
getting more consumers and the economy can be affected by loss of tourism in the country.
Another major disadvantage is the political disturbance of ruling and opposition party. This is
because the ruling party who wants to develop certain innovations in the country will be attacked
politically by the opposition party in terms of non-development of certain areas which needs to
be changed according to certain standards of living by the people.
TASK2
P2.1 Key steps of Tourism Development and the features used at different levels
There are various competitors in the world who are constantly competing for developing
and generating tourism in the nation. These competitors are beneficial for consumers because
consumers get the best deal available at low or nominal price. There are various steps that are
essential for Tourism developments
Main step is to identify the pattern of the industry and then understanding all the expectations of
the people.
a) Companies have to allocate their resources and then deliver the right offers to right
consumers.
b) All firms need to analyse that the offers delivered are rightly used by consumers as per
their requirements.
Proper feedback to be received as per the information of generating correct offers/ deals to the
consumers.
Govt. will have to provide all the authorities that will divide the work into national and local
divisions. These authorities will take care of the funds being developed and generated and at the
same time they can analyse the level of rightly used available resources which are used in the
economy.

P2.2 Interactive planning evaluation
We are all aware of the fact that every nation has limited amount of resources which are
to be used in order to grow and develop the business opportunities in the country. For the
purpose of growth and development the country needs firm planning in the way that it can
provide proper allocation of resources. Allocation of resources refers to the process by which
every resource which is being provided to the department must be according to the requirements
of that department because of the fact that every department needs some extra resources to
misuse the funds of Govt.
 first step in this allocation is the position of country, if the country is highly re putative
in the world then the tourism sector should be developed according to the needs of
external environments.
 Another step is the investment opportunities the country can make in order to provide
the better-quality products and services to the nation.
 Third step is the proper formulation of above steps which will be developed so as to
generate better results in the future.
 Finally, when better results are being generated then the country should try to develop its
level by increasing the level of product and service delivery.
Interactive planning evaluation refers to the process by which every product or service is
evaluated in such a way that they can help in generating the sectors of the economy. The tourism
sector can take benefit out of it in such a way that actual position of particular country and its
chosen destination can be evaluated and if evaluation process seems to be incomplete then
necessary steps like developing certain benefits regarding the benefits of tat place must be
catered.
P2.3 Impact of tourism industry
There are 3 types of impacts that can affect the tourism industry in direct and indirect
way. These are-
Economic impacts refer to the impacts that generates employment opportunities in the economy.
These are high level impacts that can cater to provide huge amount of economic significance of
the economy. There are various economic impacts that have can be developed by the economy.
These help in providing economic growth and development, which is on the part of providing
3

economic suitability to the products and services. All economic impacts regarding tourism
industry caters the fact that every service offered by the TUI group must be of significance to the
consumers.
 Social Impact-The impact that develops the social status of any destination in comparison
to other destinations of the country. The social status, language , lifestyle and food
available can have the social and critical impact on the part of providing the particular
destination the most important and relative competitive edge over others.
 Environmental Impact- This impact is the major impact of an economy because the
environment which develops competition must be analysed in such a way that every
consumer must be satisfied on the grounds of providing perfect quality services and
developing proper feedback.
 Cultural Impact- It refers to subset of tourism which is concerned with traveller's
management which is engaged with country's or region's cultural diversities. It includes
lifestyle, behaviour and background of the persons. The culture of any region is very
important because it depicts how people live there and how life is being lived. The tourist
who want to visit London should/ need to follow all the steps which creates cultural
impact on the lifestyle of people. AS if every individual will able to find out how
country's growth and development affects people lives in that area.
TASK3
P3.1 Covered in PPT
P3.2 Covered in PPT
P3.3 Sustainable developmental steps
The sustainable development refers to all the elements that should meet the needs of
present environments without compromising future generation aspects of developing their needs.
The tourism sustainability will help in developing regional, economic and cultural aspects.
Therefrom above report indicates various stages that can be developed in the way that tourism
industry can be benefited. These benefits will help in developing economies of scale and scope.
4

 Good assessment of business resources for the purpose of developing demands of the
country means that every tourist industry should analyse the resources for the purpose of
developing opportunities in the competitive advantage.
 Allocation of various resources in the various categories helps a company in generating
business opportunities that caters to develop all relevant categories of the tourism
industry.
 By generating long term benefits the company can get essential growth and
developmental opportunities which are essential to be required.
 Every customer needs to be benefited by the allocation of sufficient resources which are
required at the level of growth and development.
 The business opportunities that an economy generates should cater to the needs of
products and services development because every product or service benefits every
customer in either positive or negative sense. Positive in the sense that every economic
effect generates development of tourist destinations in the country. Socially it will impact
in negative sense because of lack societal knowledge and behavioural skills.
 Availability of existing and new consumers should be matched at all the levels such that
the TUI group should not have any mismanagement of resources.
 London is a multinational destination with plenty of resources available but abundant of
resources is a negative point for the destination because of the fact that every consumer
should have to use some resources based on which the resource availability depends.
TASK 4
4.1 Issues and Methods of resolution of conflicts
The major issues that are being considered in arising conflicts of interest are the political,
social, cultural, and ethical issues that helps in generating a problem related to sustainable
development of issues in a better way.
 The political issue arises due to the lack of coordination between the ruling and
opposition party . This is because the party who tends to generate large amount of
touring opportunities has to develop a barrier in the working style of that party.
5

 The social and personal factors are similar in interest and these needs to be analysed in
such a way that every consumer feels that language , food and people are the major
advantage and benefit a destination possess.
The cultural issues which are to be developed in any region must be analysed in such a
way that every region must possess certain cultural aspects which must be analysed so that every
visitor feels happy and satisfied in developing sustainable tourism in the region.
P4.2 Analysis of Supply and demand of achieving a balance
The major outcome in the process of sustainability development is the availability of
resources for future generation. The future generation should know about the resources of the
present scenario because they cannot generate such type of resources themselves. The demand of
the tourism in today's scenario is of great importance in terms of its supply because of the major
factors that comes underwater and these factors are the relevant factors based on true situations
in developed countries. The first factor that can be analysed is the availability of raw materials to
be used in such a way that it could be supplied to the consumers who are directly related with the
company's production and development process. The second step is to analyse the necessary
demand of techniques used in tourism industry . The major step that should be accessed is the
availability of funds which will help the company in generating new and new opportunities to
contact consumers. The fourth step is to utilize all then ingredients which helps in developing
products and services as per the demands of consumers. This is so important form the
perspective of customers in the way that every customer's demand and requirement of product
may be different in terms of others.
P4.3 Morale and ethical issues of tourism
Enclave tourism refers to the tourism in which companies try to present tourist activities
to tourist in such a geographical area that customers get to know each and everything about it in
brief experience and it is done to analyse marketing competition among different tourist
companies. Morale issues refers to all the issues which are to be considered in order to generate
morale development of an individual towards a particular destination. For morale development
the place can be holy place or any place where something unusual has happened because the
unusual matter tends to be developed and sustained in the minds of consumers for a longer
period of time. Another morale issue is the issue of touring activities . Because some touring
activities are developed for the purpose of providing better experience and satisfaction to the
6

customers. The ethical issues are the issues which are raised by many consumers many a times
but these issues doesn't changed over time. These are availability of long term capital. The long
term capital is an essential part of companies development as companies who have large amount
of capital tend to develop large number of customers. Another major drawback is the lack of
resources which are the main cause of generating business growth and development in an
economy. The resources are to be utilised in such a way that every customer gets equal and same
level of opportunities of the company. These business enterprises should be generated inn order
to provide long term financial implications to help in restoring business goals and objectives. All
the morale and ethical issues which needs to be written off must be evaluated and if the issue
remains underrated for longer period of time or if the economic hold occurs then the nation can
generate loss of revenue . Loss of revenue means loss of employment opportunities, loss of
tourism and loss of other services which can generate lack of funding by the organization. The
morale and ethical issues of tourism will help in generating political, economical, cultural and
morale support which will help in getting moral and legal support in terms of tourism
development of the region.
TASK 5
P5.1 Current issues in UK AND USA
The two destinations which were chosen are very famous in people who love to travel
across the national borders. But there is something that raises the issues and the issues are related
to political, social, cultural and ethical standards of behaviour among the destinations chosen.
The major issue that is raised is based on political scenario among the national destinations in of
international destinations. This is because of the fact that national destinations tend to have same
level of business opportunities but international destinations have different political systems.
The social issue is one of major factor because the social ethics, morale and behaviour of a
destination is always different from other destination even though the destinations are similar in
location, or type of people live there.
Culture of any nation in terms of other creates a major impact on national development and the
number of visitors visit every time. The destination who will have large amount of rich heritage
will tend to develop more visitors in terms of income generation.
7

 Ethical standards of any destination in terms of others may not be similar in the way that
every standard set by country is different from others in terms of better sales and visitors
attraction.
 Social Issues refers to the issues which are developed accordingly by the way of
generating social status and standings in terms of its competitors. The social standards for
the company are the touring spots, tourist and the number of employees who are directly
related with the growth of company. The touring personalities should develop a sense of
responsibility in the sense that every tourist guide who is in touch with the touring family
and if something happens to the family then touring guide is available for their help. And
if the person who needs to track something unusual then the guide needs to sign a bond
against the issue or situation which can happen in dangerous situations.
The current issues needs some modifications in order to develop monetary and fiscal growth of
revenue in the country. This will increase overall employment in the economy.
P5,2 Future developments in both the destinations
There are lot of business opportunities in these destinations but U.K. is considered to be
far better in terms of development then USA because each destination of UK has rich and varied
heritage culture which is so beneficial for consumers/ visitors that every time they ty visit the
location they generally adopt some new cultural regimes. This is an advantage to the touring
operators of UK because the touring company will tend to attract large number of customers.
The USA on the other hand have small heritage in terms of providing same type of information
to every consumer. This is in-fact the major issue which needs to be catered in all the locations
of USA Because if they resolve this problem they will be the rich country in generating high
number of cultural regimes. The future developments can be the development of local and
national authorities of the country and if these authorities work effectively and efficiently then all
the departments of Govt. will work accordingly and will benefit economy by the help of
generating employment opportunities. The employment in tourism sector should needs to be
developed in order to provide effective knowledge and information which will help LONDON to
grow more and develop various tourist in the nation.

CONCLUSION
From the above report, it has been analysed that all the issues which are relent for a
touring destination like London needs to analyse its marketing essential elements in order to
generate large amount of visitor interaction and visitors should be developed according to the
needs and analysis of target markets which will help them in generating large scale heritage full
of rich culture, political support and morale behaviour of individuals in that particular region.
Along with this certain issue which are to be developed needs to be identified and catered so that
any misunderstanding on the part of developing proper communication between TGI Group and
consumers must be developed in order to make the destination more rich in heritage and
informative knowledge.
