Task 1 1.1Discuss how stakeholders can benefit from planning of tourism developments with reference to Qatar.Tourism: Tourism is when you people visit a specific place in order to visit, and experience new places and cultures. In economic terms, tourism is the business that focuses on attracting the tourists from different place to come and visit in the host country as it increases income of the company. (Burns and Novelli, 2007). Tourism is a major income for countries, as a lot of people visit; they’ll usually spend money on hotels, tickets to visit specific museums or places, souvenirs and many more. Tourism in Qatar As in any other countries, Qatar also highly benefits from tourists. Qatar has drove tourists due to itsbeautiful beaches, museums and many more attractive and beautiful places for people to visit. According to the UN World Tourism Organization, tourism accounts for 10% of total GDP and 1 in 11 jobs worldwide. (http://www.visitqatar.qa) Global visitor arrivals totalled 1.13 billion in 2014 and will reach 1.8 billion by 2030 (http://www.visitqatar.qa)Stakeholders involved in tourism development: Stakeholders are that are related to the tourism industry and have a way to contribute to the tourism industry. There are three types of stakeholders and these are; national government, local destination and finally the tourism sector operating in the destination. National government: At national level, the regulatory authority of tourism is DOT. It is the government organisation that regulates the tourism sector at national level and frames the policies at with aspect for the whole nation. (Cooper and Hall, 2008)Local destination: These stakeholders are the ones that involve organisation that work and regulate at a local level. So the organisation include Local Government Units, these are the members of civil society which represent the nongovernmental organisations. Tourism sector operating in the destination: This is the final group of stakeholders that is classified under the tourism section. This group involvesthe private businesses that provide accommodation, transportation and other services to the tourists. (Evans, Campbell and Stonehouse, 2003)Benefits of stakeholders from planning of tourism development: Stakeholders get a variety of benefits from planning of tourism development. For example, one of the benefits is the economic benefit. As mentioned before Qatar’s tourism account for 10% of the total GPD, therefore the economic growth of the country is quite dependant on tourism. There are also a lot of employment opportunities that are provided by either private or local tourism sectors.
1.2Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of public/private sector tourism planning partnershipsdrawing examples Qatar.Public/private partnership is when the government and local tourism organisations partnership in order to achieve a common goal. So Qatar will help both of the sectors in order to have the sectors work well together as well as having a well-mannered working environment. An example of a partnership would be when they organised ‘World Tourism Day’ in Qatar. Of course with the public/private partnership, there are advantages and disadvantages. An advantage would be the better infrastructure solutions, what this means is that when two sectorsjoin together, their abilities and skills in organising and much more increases massively. This furthermore displays another advantage which is the time to produce a project, which will of course be lower. This is again because of the combined skills and efforts put in by both sectors. Another huge advantage will of course be the quality of the projects. Because two different sectors are working together and are combining their knowledge and skills, the project will be of a much higher quality. An example of how these advantages can benefit Qatar will be the upcoming ‘2019 World Athletics Championships’. Having two sectors partnership can increase the quality of production and tourism comfort as well as travel as there are more people that are working on it with a very wide set of skills.There aren’t many huge disadvantages to public/private partnerships, the biggest disadvantage willbet the cost of bidding. This is because of the difficulty to decide the cost of bidding. There is alsothe problem with having less numbers of private participants. If there is large expertise from theprivate side, government bears the losses as the private participant have the power to decide on thecost of the project. (Miller and Twining-Ward, 2005)Task 22.1 Analyse features of tourism development planning at different levels with reference to the Qatar.Nature of tourism planning in Qatar: Qatar’ tourism accounts of 10% GDP, therefore there are a lot of jobs that are open in Qatar that relate to tourism. Tourism planning refers to either doing a big event in Qatar, therefore there is a lot of work to do to appeal to tourists that come to Qatar for that specific event. Tourism planning also refers to providing a hotel, transport, tickets to visit Qatar’s attractions and many more that they have to deal with.There are different tourism planning that stand at different levels. The first level that I will discuss is ‘International level’, this is when the tourism business involves tourists from outside the country. Having very good tourism planning on an international business, isvery efficient as it increases the reputation of tourism therefore it will attract more people. This will of course benefit Qatar as there will be more tourists visiting. This will further make organisations want to organise events in Qatar which attracts even more tourists. Planning at international level mainly focuses on improving the transport facilities as well as investing into the multi-country marketing strategies. (Page, 2009)
