INTRODUCTION
Travel and tourism role is to conduct activities for economic growth which is vast and
important. This section provides a particular attention to a specific segment. Travel and tourism
sector is having high growth are and due to this economy of country is also growing well
because when one section of economy grows then it is not only itself grow but it also helps in
progress of nation’s economic growth. Activities that are related to recreation, profession or any
other reason whether personal or professional for visiting a new place are defined as tourism.
There are two types of tourism which are global and domestic or local level tourism. There are
many analysis that presents that tour operating industry is showing not only high growth rate but
also have greater profit margins in industry. This reports is based upon TUI company which is an
Anglo-Germen company and have its headquarter in Hanover, Germany.
TASK 1
1.1 Analysis of major tourist destinations in the world in terms of visitors
TUI company is a well known player in travel and tourism sector that provides a wide
range of services like airlines, hotel, retail stores and cruise ships. Visitors can avail all these
facilities according to their travel plan. There are many places that this tour operator firm offers
to its clients as visiting places are Spain, Italy and France etc. This firm is having around 6
airlines in European that comprises holiday fleet that is largest in entire Europe and also has 9
operators. It is been analysed that over the years living standards of people whom are living in
United Kingdom has been increased and due to this growth in travel and tourism sector also
measured because people are having more disposable income that they can spend of purchasing
different travel plans. There is an hike in number of traveller that helps organisations as well as
economy to generate higher rated profit margin and growth. According to a report that was
published in 2013, number of travellers was 32.6 billion approx and in 2014 it was 31.1 million.
These numbers are also explaining population condition in UK.
As stated above, number of tourists are increasing and due to this companies have
sufficient number of clients but due to emergence of novel tour operator, it is required from
Snow Deal company that they serve some extra and extraordinary to their clients in order to
serve them in most efficient manner. In other words, hike in number is an encouragement to
travel organisations in respect of serving better quality services to association. According to a
study, it was found that number of traveller in USA have shown increment in comparison of

China, Thailand and Mexico. Because if travel industry UK is also earning a huge revenues that
is helpful in increasing growth rate of country because when a company grows it always serve its
contribution in nation’s growth. In the year 2013, number of global visitors was 177.9 billion,
which shown decrement in the very next year 2014 which was 177.2 billion.
France
This is one of favourite location of visitors and many other people like this and plans to
go there specially once in a lifetime who do not have sufficient fund to visit this type of
expensive place on regular basis. In 2016, there were over 64 million foreign tourists arriving
from elsewhere in Europe and a further 18 million non-European residents (Number of inbound
foreign tourist arrivals in France from 2010 to 2016, by residency area, 2018). It can be said that
according to the popularity of number of visiting place in France, it is becoming one among the
top preferred place from customers point of view. This increases numerical ratio of visitors who
are visiting this place. As a result, it contributes in developing interest of government to invest
money in maintaining their monuments in order to attract maximum number of visitors towards
it.
Turkey
This is a precious place that fascinate many people to come and explore beauty of this
place by wandering and looking for them. In 2017, around 39.9 million people visited Turkey
and it is ranked as sixth most visited place in world, UNWTO data revealed (With 39.9 million
tourists in 2017, Turkey named 6th favourite vacation spot, 2018). There are many changes that
are to be included in travel and tourism sector of country.
Thailand
This country has its different uniqueness and this kind of characteristics attracts many
visitors and due to this there are many companies that are availing this situation for generating
higher growth and profit margin in marketplace. Tourist Arrivals in Thailand increased to
2712030 in October from 2655560 in September of 2018. Tourist Arrivals in Thailand averaged
1458435.69 from 1997 until 2018, reaching an all time high of 3566890 in February of 2018 and
a record low of 399600 in May of 2003 (Thailand Tourist Arrivals, 2018). As per the stated
figure, it can be said that number of visitor for Thailand are declining continuously. Main reason
behind this is that monuments of Thailand have reduced their quality and charm as before. This

seems not so attractive towards customers and as a result they do not prefer to visit the similar
place again and again.
Hong-Kong
This is one amongst most amazing places of world because of uses of advanced
technologies that fascinates large number of people for visiting nation once. Tourist Arrivals in
Hong Kong increased to 5884512 in October from 4718536 in September of 2018. Tourist
Arrivals in Hong Kong averaged 2383525.80 from 1992 until 2018, reaching an all time high of
6009577 in August of 2014 and a record low of 427254 in May of 2003 (Hong Kong Visitor
Arrivals, 2018). Furthermore, Hong Kong's top ten visitor source market in 2017. Mainly, it
includes arrival numbers were the Mainland, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, US, Macao, the
Philippines, Australia, Thailand and Singapore as well. Altogether in total of visitor arrivals, they
accounted for over 92 %.

2.1 Cultural, social and physical features of tourist destinations
Tourism is concept which require to be assessed by government and companies which are
undertaking business operations to provide appropriate things to visitors. It is essential that firms

In traditional methodology, tourism was defined as an adventurous experience,
entertainment and pleasure abstract. As, tourist motives and culture differs and vary from one
country to another. This is due to different in locations and places which are present in nation are
attractive and adventurous for visitors or not. But now, cultural development, educational and
business analysis are various elements to evolve culture as well tradition of nation at global level.
Asia-pacific and Africa are various popular and famous continent around the world. This
statement has been assessed by reporters in statistics report of tourism. This benefits country to
have accurate and complete information about social, cultural and physical features of all tourist
destinations.

Central, Merzouga are various sites which are popular in country. This continent is second
largest as it includes almost 30.5 million km². Along this, country have wild life cycle and warm
climate. This nation is also known for 'Kalahari Desert' which defines that Africa is popular for

which have peaceful environment which helps government to grab attention of people from other
nations.

adventurous life experiences. Along this, people which visit locations for hill climbing,
photography and sports like mountain bike racing are various things which impacts on driving

is enhancing visitor attention towards nation. Government of United Kingdom provide different
tactics and have formulated legislations and act to provide appropriate infrastructure and
conditions to attract visitors. Therefore, leading and developing tourist destination are two
activities which are different from each other. These are various characteristics which are
described stated beneath:
Leading tourist destination Developing Tourist Destination
UK includes various components which are
provided by government to attract more tourist

TASK 3
Covered in PPT

UK is one of the important tourist destination and there are large number of visitors who are
coming to visit different places with different purpose. On the other side India is an Asian
continent which is struggling for sustainable tourism around the globe and enhancing their
major focus on tourism industry. Some of the important tourist destination in India are
named as Goa, Taj Mahal, Desert of Rajasthan etc.
While making comparison with different state It is stated that United Kingdom and UK
are having the largest landscape, major attractive places and diverse cultural aspects. India is
appealing from those tourists who are having the major tourist places related to culture, heritage,
temples, beaches etc. While making comparison with UK which is one of the leading tourist
destination they are majorly focused towards Scottish Mountains, Lake district, British Iselis.
India is having appeal for the diverse culture while UK is appealing for the wider literature
quality and different art variety from Milton. Byron and Shakespeare etc. There are mentioned
about the major appealing from both the countries and their comparison is made in the next
slides:

UK Destination Appeal: The main features of UK destinations are their rich and heritage
culture which differentiate it from other locations and makes it unique. The difference is on
the basis of physical evidence which results in diverged features and delivering
competitive edge at tourist destinations. This has resulted in approx. 3.3 million travellers
every year who are visiting to different places. The main appeal from UK is related with
convenience in transportation services and managing the tourist services along with
accommodation that helps in providing ease to different tourist members all around the
globe.
India Destination Appeal: The Indian hospitality sector is popular all around the globe. It is
a good place to explore Spirituality that results in refreshing and inspiring vibes to people along
with wonders and beauty. On the other side the magnificent architecture which is founded in the
entire nations are having amazing look with the spontaneous beauty. The spicy, delicious and
amazing food of India make it look unique from the other nations. Alongside the country is also
familiar for the appealing and broad market which offers variety of products at different range.

The visitor are mostly attracted by rich and heritage culture and the art & science of UK which is
presented in museum and the places where some of the tourist are attracted by the heritage,
culture and spiritual components which results in more curiosity among the workers and they
wander about the different tourist destinations. Hence it is examined that there are different
factors in the external business environment that affects the appealing of the tourist destinations
which are discussed below as:
The publicity of different tourist places and sales promotion from family members and
friends can affect the tourist destinations. The stakeholders in the country also develop positive
influence on the inflow of tourist in the country. As the promotion of Olympics and assistance
2012 London is able to attract large number of visitors among the country. As the Asian games
are organised in India and other developing countries, it is analysed that different activities can
be managed in the country.
The crime rates are also considered as the important factor while results in decreasing the
number of people who will be visiting to these locations. The reason behind effective
promotional campaign is there are various elements which can meet through this criterion and
this results in attracting large number of visitors. In India the rates of crime are very high which
is affecting the tourist industry in negative aspect.

In order to enhance the product life cycle and services of different products in UK and
India it is important to offer engagement from their origins. In order to manage UK have
developed plans and policies for communicating information’s, transportation system and
tackling current locations. On the other hand, India is developing railway services, tackling
devices and accessing more information’s for the purpose of safe development.
Economic influence is required to access the exploration in order to understand the
overall influence of the tourism practises and this has impacted in both negative and negative
ways on the working environment of organisations. UK have developed good Gross domestic
product rates; currency rates results in development of nations. In India the GDP rates are lower
which results in lack of tourist visiting to those places.
In UK, management of tourism sector improve product and services to tourists, by
providing them appropriate transportation facilities to make them visit people different places
and sites in country. For this, government of UK develop and maintain locations to sustain
culture and historical sites for visitors. Along this, travel and tours company also maintains
complete information about locations and provide adequate facilities to tourists to make their
experience wonderful.
Tourism practices have both positive and negative impacts on functioning of
organisation. These are acknowledged by firms to anticipate their influence on economic
conditions of country. As in UK, there is good GDP and currency rate which help authorities to
develop and enhance conditions of nation. Besides this, decline in GDP rate is due to loss of
tourists.
Commercialisation is tactic which has negative impact on tourist destination. It affect on
number of tourists which visit UK from both domestic and international places. Thus, this
concept defines that local people provide importance to firm and enhance sales and profitability.
Therefore, management require to manage factors and components which directly as well
indirectly effect on tourism business. It is necessary that appropriate facilities and services are
provided to tourists. Thus, UK has good inflow of visitors in country which enhance state of
country.

TASK 4
4.1 Analyse issues that affect the popularity of tourist destinations
There is requirement of various factors through which they can analyse market and it is
essential to alter policies through which they can achieve targets. Tourist business has different
policies which help to achieve targets. It is essential to know what can be done to remove hurdles
in tourist business.
Some of the main issues are: Change in climate: There is change in alteration in climates. There is difference in
factors which affect policies and due to change in factors it is effective for achieving
targets. There is important role of managers which has to think about policies through
which they can convince tourist to visit places. Natural disasters: Nature is the elements which is not under the control of company.
This important to have knowledge related to places which are top destinations and hence
manager can have some alternates which help to perform activities. Political issues: To visit difference tourist places, there is effective and important role of
political parties. It is essential to know what can be done, so this helps to make changes
in political factors. These factors are legally bind for visitors. So people do not like to
prefer such legal bindings. Communication and transport facility: Some places are god but they do not have good
communication and transport facilities. So it is negative point in prospective of tourism
business. It is essential that there mus be god communication and transport facility so
every age group can visit places. There is security point also, so communication facility is
essential. Infrastructure and hotels: If person went outside then he/she must need good
accommodation facility, so in case of problem related to change in plans and policies.
There are many factors which has to be considered while thinking of going out. There
must be good quality services so it is essential to apply changes which help to analyse

market through which they have all category of motels. Infrastructure of tourist places
must be good so it has good image in tourist industry.
 Quality of services and facilities: Some places does not have good quality services, so
people does not like to visit it and hence it is effective with change in plans and policies.
There are many factors which has to be considered and quality of services are effective
drawback for not liking place for visiting purpose.
4.2 Discuss the potential for responsible tourism to enhance the host community at worldwide
tourist destinations
Tourist places are important task which has to done in offer to achieve targets in better
and effective way. There are many policies which has to be refrained with change in political and
environmental policies. To make increment in tourist it is essential to make them feel
comfortable and hence they can improve position of destination in industry. There must be some
authority which work to analyse market with the help of changing policies and this is effectively
done with the help of taking feedback. There must be good facility related to comfortability of
visitor has to be kept in mind.
It is essential to know what can be done so they can achieve targets to improve policies.
There are many workers which work to achieve targets in order to know what can be done to
recognise culture of visitors and provide similar facility. Through this there will good image in
industry. Through this there will mouth to mouth brand recognition. Tourist department must
tries to train workers to be polite and solve queries of visitors so it has good image in mind.
There area many environment related problems which has to minimised at tourist places such as
pollution. There must not be eve teaser so this helps to alter policies as per necessity.
The major role which has been catered by tourism sector for the economy is provision of
employment opportunities for local population. The people in the country are able to ascertain a
positive impact upon the economy through upliftment of tourism. The international organisations
such as UNESCO is persuading economies and people to practice responsible tourism. It is an
approach which attempts to minimise social and ecological impact of tourism on the
environment. The people in the local economy have been availing benefits of tourism and will be
able to lead a better life and at the same time ensuring customer satisfaction.

CONCLUSION
From the above report, it can be concluded that tourism industry is continuously evolving
with help of different and attractive locations. This help government to enhance state of economy
and increase income by attracting large customers from other nations. Asia and Europe are two
nations which are enhancing and have effective tourism sector. These nations depend upon this
sector. Regulatory bodies provide different schemes and benefits to attract people by giving
them good transportation services and attractive locations. India, Nepal are developing countries
which have opportunities to operate business in global tourism market. Air tickets, hotels and
other resources are various techniques used by management to attract tourists from other nations.
