Report on Visitor Attraction_2
INTRODUCTIONVisitor attractions are places where because of public display of beauty of nature or itscultural value, visitors visit for different purpose as for holidays, fun and for adventurous activities.It includes various beautiful spots of nature as beaches, islands, camping, hiking etc. Even there aremany cultural tourist attractions also which include museums, ancient temples, art galleries etc.(Pettebone,Newman and Lawson,2010). They provide a memorable experience to the visitors.Other than natural, attractions can be built also. Museums can be classified under built spotsconsisting of ancient parts and pieces of history. In natural places, attractions must be handled by arecognised body and must be accessible for people at least for nine months in a year (Mensah,2014). In built places, tourism must be considered as a central part of the business. Differentattraction places have their own specialities. Tourism has a great impact on increasing the economy,encouraging a clean industry, understanding different cultures and communities and it has manyother benefits also like reuse of old monuments for tourism purposes. This report is about gainingthe importance and well understanding of various attractions and its effects on sustainability.TASK 11.1 Overlapping Visitor AttractionsAny tourist places whose features are common with some another place refers as an overlapof the features of the tourist place. There are many tourisms, some factors of which are common.Like History Tourism overlaps with a few other tourisms. Taking example of it with heritagetourism, many of the factors including the ancient art pieces are common which a visitor want to seeless because repetition is always not interesting. Natural History Museum which is in London hasmany similarities with Victoria and Albert Museum. Although Victoria and Albert Museum is theworld's leading art and design museum but both the places have ancient pieces of temples, coins,animals , clothes of some old leaders etc.(Henderson, 2010). It seems very boring for the visitors tosee the similar things again and again. Although the entrance fee is free and the museum is openmost of the time, but it is not interesting to visit different places with same qualities and features. Itdecreases the interest of a person. The UK government should adopt some measures for thesesimilar types of places so that they don't have to see the same features everywhere which is not atall exciting. In fact it leads to the lacking interest of people.

(Source : George, 2010)(Source : Henderson,2010)1.2 Analysing value of various visitor attractions.By means of tourism, UK Tourism helps the economy there by providing them jobswhich can fulfil the needs of their family. It also makes a lot of profit which helps the business tokeep going on. It gives the people the experience they want as they can do a lot of adventurousactivities, follow their dreams and many more. Various amenities are also available for visitors atthese places as many stalls are being organised, there is an arrangement of food, water etc. out ofwhich some facilities are paid and some not. The sellers there almost make profit on everythingthey sell and people have to buy it because at these destinations, some particular spots are beingorganised, rather than that there are no other facilities (Pettebone, Newman and Lawson,2010). Theother vendor facilities are far away from these destinations, so people have no option rather thanpurchasing it. It also helps in enlarging the local and national economy of a place thus in benefit forgenerating the revenues. There are almost 8,900 UK attractions which benefits the local andnational economy thus further providing employment and regeneration. Taking an example of anattraction, Stonehenge is a very famous British ancient monument where people have to book anadvance ticket for guaranteeing their entry into it (George, 2010). The hanging stones factor makesthis monument different and popular and it is so ancient that the stones were placed from 1500-3000BC. Another example is Tower of London, considered as the most important building in England. Ithas been a package - prison, palace and observatory. Different attractions have different valueswhich helps the country to grow more and more better. TASK 22.1 Needs and Motivations of different visitors.Visitors can be incentive, business, educational, adventurous, cultural and many more andeveryone has their particular needs.
