INTRODUCTION
Since the launch of the commercial applications the early stages that are involved with the
rapid development in the tourism industry. Visitor attractions are recognized with the
systematic approach to the management of the tourism. The value of those places is recorded
with the help of the government and national bodies that are relative to the destination
development proposals (Barros, et al. 2011). The Visitor attraction management from the past
decades is facing major key issues that are evident with the multiple involvements of the
avenues. The development of an integrated community of scholars can sustain with the interest
in the sector.
The report covers the in-depth understanding of the various aspects that are responsible for
the center of the attraction of the relevant places. The importance of the different visitor
attractions sources is analyzed with the overlapping means of types of the attraction factors.
Further, the progressive impact of tourism on visitor attraction can be determined through
different means of motivations and theories.

TASK 1
1.1
ARTICLE
OVERLAP TYPES OF ATTRACTIONS WITH VISITOR ATTRACTIONS
Man- Made attractions are likely to be
the center of attraction to the places those
who conduct events, Contest and other
features. The National Maritime Museum is
considered with the themes that are
associated with the man-made types of
attractions. It covers the influence of the
place with the feasibility of the tourist
conditions. The Events that are conducted
are associated with the places like Thorpe
Park, British Museum, The Queen’s House
and many others (Leask, et al. 2014). The
rationalization to those events can relate to
the frequent conditions of the local,
national and worldwide attraction centers.
The UK is responsible for generating their
revenues with the help of tourist attraction
sources. The proposed structure can
triangulate the targeted population and
intangible measures of the tourism.
The British Museum is located in the
Bloomsbury area of London, UK. It is the
center of attractions for the people those
who are interested in the documenting
story and detached with the library
department. The governing bodies of the
British Museum are co-operatively
extending to the no admission fees and
acceptance to the loan exhibitions facilities
to those places. This attracts the students as
the recreational and educational source of
attractions (Newsome, et al. 2012). The
British Museum attracts the visitors around
6,820, 686 on an average. The size of the
objects that are collectively present in the
British Museum is approximately 8 million.

Different types of the attraction medium
are present that vulnerably coincide with
developmental stages of the tourism
industry. The natural attractions like
Climates, Landscapes, Beaches, and
Mountain are some of the features that are
approached by the tourist. The place
attracts tourist by its appealing feature.
The ancestral buildings are the leading
attraction medium from past decades. The
National Maritime Museum (NMM) under
the Royal Observatory and Queen’s House
configure the non-departmental bodies to
be the part of the services that are
exchanged with the admission charges
(Leask, et al. 2014). The cluttering areas of
200 acres are recorded at the earliest times.
The home of Greenwich Mean Time and
Prime Meridian has comprised of around 2
million items at the place. The Portrait
collection of the Gallery that is holding on
to the programs that ensure the public
transit to Cutty Sark. The position of the
National Maritime Museum acquaints on
the position of 12th on the national level.
The visitors that are attracted towards this
place is expected around 2,367,904 million
around every year (Kusluvan, et al. 2010).
The products of the history and culture can
sometimes create the purpose of the
tourism for the people. The man-made
attractions including the museums can
relate on to the castle buildings and
galleries, shopping and leisure centers,
statues and sporting venues.

The Queen’s House is also categories of this
attractions source. Queen’s House is the
former royal residence that was integrated
by the architect was Inigo Jones. The
important building was first consciously
classical with the constructed Longleat and
Burghley House buildings. The House is
listed and scheduled with the ancient
monuments. A status includes the axial
vista to River Thames. The Construction of
the buildings was accomplished in 1635.
They are 383 years ago (Mason, 2015). The
owner of the building cans royal museums
Greenwich. Although the House, exactly
widens with the impressive principle
features with UNESCO to Maritime
Greenwich.

1.2
British Museum receives the highest
number of events. The types of activities
that are conducted provide the importance
of the place which is associated with history
and culture. The place highlighting covers
Egyptian antiquities which are collected and
founded in the year 1753.
The works of 160 Egyptian objects are
famed with the Rosetta stone which the
most important sculpture that is acquired
by the Museum. The Naturalist and
Collector Sir Hans Sloane has collected
more than 71,000 objects which are
preserved in intact with the bequeathed
collection of the King George II for the
entire nation in return of the payment of
the £20,000 to their heirs (Page, 2014).
The British Parliament approved the
acceptance of those artifacts sovereigns
with the wide collections of books,
manuscripts and natural specimens with
some other antiquities. Along with the
Rosetta Stone the Parthenon Sculptures and
other features were recorded as the
hieroglyphic script (Schwartz, et al. 2012).
The annual revenue generated by this place
is around 123 million pounds as per the
year 2016-2017. The number of visitors
those are virtually attracted to the place is
around 6.7 million in the year 2015-16. The
programs that are associated with this place
are Educational learning courses for all and
exhibitions and adult learning programs are
conducted as the part of the higher
education. The SOL programs are also
configured as the major event of this place.
While coming to the new concept of the
importance of the places with cultural
preferences can be encountered through
the establishment of the attraction places.
The Museum was created under the
preference of the National Maritime Act of
1934 (Hartmann, 2014). The earliest times
of Greenwich has associated with the
navigation and sea.
The home of Greenwich Mean Time and
Prime Meridian are the two major
navigators that approached the
astronomical study. The place is famous for
their Royal Parks and Royal Hospital School
which are prudential for Children (Connell,
et al. 2015). The gardens present at the
place are reinstated in the late 1870s. The
Garden was formed in the tunnel cut over
7

pattern. The two ends were comprised as
the section of the place where Greenwich
and Maze Hill Stations. UNESCO considered
this place to be the top most attraction
place on the World heritage and cultural
tourism (Weidenfeld and Leask, 2013).
The Queen's House is the extraordinary
royal house which is the most important
architectural buildings in Britain. The
Queen’s House is a scheduled about ancient
monuments and recorded under the areas
Act 1979 which is the most important
buildings in the country. The buildings in
Greenwich grace the hill rising through the
River Thames to Blackheath form of the
finest architectural ensembles in the 1890s.
The Statistics of the visitor can be an
ensemble with the revenue generated in
the UK. The tourism can be certain with the
worth of £115.4 bn that can be equivalent
raise to 8.9 per-cents with the UK Gross
Domestic Product (Ab Karim and Chi, 2010).
It also promotes with the most popular
places through overseas visits to the places.

TASK 2
TITLE UNDERSTANDING THE CONCEPTS OF TOURISM THEORIES AND IMPACT OF TOURISM ON
VISITOR ATTRACTION PRUDENTIAL FOR MOTIVATION OF THE PEOPLE
INTRODUCTION
The study covers the needs and motivation that influential for the development and growth of
the tourism sector. The British Museum, National Maritime Museum, and The Queen’s House
are listed as the top attraction places as per the revenue prospect of the UK. The impact of
tourism can be evaluated in the upcoming measures and effect of different theories is
articulated in the study (Ab Karim and Chi, 2010).
BODY
2.1
The man-made attractions are considered equivalent to be the part of the economic generation
in the UK. The British Museum is the overly crowded place when transfigured as the part of the
attraction sources. The external motives of the tourism can influence with the practitioners of
the human history. The needs, motives, and motivation to the fundamental part in the
mechanics of tourism are considered as the space to impulse needs of the motivation. The
reasons that are reliable for traveling to the different places can be accommodated with the
specific motivation and inner motivation. Travel needs are underpinned by the expected needs
of the values that are compared with the level of satisfaction. The subject of travel needs can
design with the help of the Humanist psychologist Abraham Maslow who published hierarchy of
human needs to determine the level of the satisfaction from top to bottom (Connell, et al.
2015).
Responsible Tourism concepts are measured on the working conditions that are suitable for the
individual to gain the economy from it. The local extractors or guides that promote the cultural
heritage and benefit the places with a number of the tourist as to concur their marketing
programs. The prediction level of the tourism can be experienced with the help of the
elucidating the information of the relevant places.

British Museum- One of the finest and overcrowded places that can ascertain with the modern
times and Egyptians collections to the center part of attraction source. The educational
research and studies that are associated with the SOL programs and higher studies are
influenced with this. The British Museum consists of all types of the facilities that are essential
for any individual traveling to different places.
National Maritime Museum- This Museum has the sustained level of the psychological needs
i.e. the place is reliable for both families and children. The playground facilities and elevators
can essentially add the strong preference to the place (Ram, et al. 2016). Further, the
occurrence of the strong artworks and basic information can rely on the accessible choices of
the people.
Queen’s House- The facilities like elevators and informational guides along with the accessible
toilets and different sources of attractions are provided here.
The Motivation theory of Maslow can be accessible with the wide acceptance to the fulfillment
of the needs. They can be recorded as-Hunger or thirst, rest and activity, a shelter for safety
and security, social needs that includes the love and belonging, Esteem can be accepted and
valued by others and Self-actualization (Weidenfeld and Leask, 2013).
10

2.2
The impact of the tourism on the visitor attractions to the places like British Museum, National
Maritime Museum, and Queen's Houses can articulate on both positive and negative factors.
The can be configured with the help of the tourism activities like-
IMPACT/ EFFECT POSITIVE POSTULATES NEGATIVE POSTULATES
ECONOMIC IMPACT The employability ratio can be
increased with the increased in
the number of the tourist which
boost up the GDP of the
economy.
The seasonal visits to the places
can help in approaching the high
rates for those places that help
in an economy generation
( Barros, et al. 2011).
The infrastructure and leisure
amenities are highly configured
to be unhygienic if the number
of visitors is increased which
needs to be maintained
The natural disasters and
calamities can cause with the
involvement of the people at a
single place. i.e. an approach to
terrorist activities
SOCIAL IMPACT The assistance to increase the
interest of the people towards
the attraction and help in self-
actualization of the needs.
The customers are sometimes
facing the negative issues which
can impact on considering to the
relative places to not visit again (
Barros, et al. 2011).
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT The hierarchical needs of the
eco-tourism can coincide with
the natural attraction sources
like Rainforest and reduction to
the proliferation situations
( Page, 2014).
Obstruction in the overuse of the
resources ( Mason, 2015).
Damage to the cultural heritage
and places can influence the
traffic emission and create
pollutions.
11

2.3
Originally the travel needs and motives follow different levels of the theories that are relative to
tourism. The Maslow's Hierarchy of needs influence the Western World with the community
life is especially focused. The self-realization can provoke on the particular destination with the
corresponding motivation. The factors evoke to the feeling of the personal deficiency where the
desire of the tourist motives is not satisfied. Apart from these, the impulsive stemming from the
inner personal pushes the individual to the certain direction where the elements like Escape is
configured (Connell, et al. 2015). The Push factor can lack dissatisfied needs and harmful effect
on the level of need and subsequent travel motive of the places.
Different layers of motivation can renowned with the influence of western society. The motive
to travel can help in determining the types of holiday and destination. The more specified
motivation can file up to the inner person motive and external influences on the pull factors.
Tourism to the certain places offers the freedom from work and other time obligations that are
suitably continued with the satisfying needs of the holiday with the harsh sound to the primary
level of the leaving behind the home scene (Weidenfeld and Leask, 2013). The pyramid models
can help in gaining the distance from the regular environment for the short term of space. The
destination to the tourist places like British Museum, National Maritime and Queen's house can
abdicate from their social status such as the luminal practices of the tourist. The element that is
recorded on the cultural basis of the personal search can translate the free absorption of the
places. The impression of the place can respectively assess on to the experiences.
CONCLUSION
The desire of the travel can be tangible matter through which the specific needs of the tourism
can rely on such as for education purpose visiting the places like British Museum and National
Maritime Museum (Ab Karim and Chi, 2010). While for the recreational and fun aspects visit to
the Queen’s House for the interest in the historic features can be expended. Life seems to be
12

faster with the resulting pressure that is mostly felt on the certain level whereby luminal with
the environmental aspects.
TASK 3
3.1
INTRODUCTION
The tourism consultant can record the visit to the places at the London. The new theme park
associated with the Merlin Entertainment in the Newham can provide a wide range of the
attractive feature of the theme parks. The process is carried out with the obstruction to the
certain path of the development. The number of the theories helps in an in-depth
understanding of the successful tourism issues. According to Herzberg hygiene theory, the
tourism faces the conflicting conditions (Leask, et al. 2014). The tourists are disguised with the
unhygienic conditions that are successively marking on to the conditions of the places.
BODY
The numbers of reasons that can be listed as the potential issues of the managerial activities
that are associated with the successful determination of the de-motivated tourist are:
 PROFESSIONAL MANAGEMENT SKILLS
The key involvement of any trip can be associated with the determined success and
quality of the business. If the factors are not co-ordinated effectively than the number
of the customer those are attracted towards the destinations will acquaint on the
negative factors of the misguided approach (Newsome, et al. 2012). Therefore,
managerial skills must be maintained.
 AVAILABLE RESOURCES
The factors those are associated with the funding and other certain aspects are
transfigured under this category. The exclamation to the impact of the Brexit has also
associated with the availability of the resources and tourism peer pressure.
 HEALTH AND SAFETY PROSPECTS
13

The health and safety features can access to the construction feasibility and incentives
to the places that are differentiated. The involvement to the recruitment and selection
process can provide the signposting of the subject that are processed with different
applications (Newsome, et al. 2012).
The tourism consultant will mark on those factors aforementioned and can provide the most
reliable and impressive plan that can attract a number of the tourists. This also helps in
improving the employability ratio and results in a better outcome of the development
processes.

TASK 4
4.1
There are different techniques and experiences covered to acknowledge the desired effect of
the issues. The opportunities are generalized in order to measure the market conditions and
setting up of the trends. The acknowledgment of the different management strategies that are
evaluated has been broadly approaching four strategic impacts of protected areas. Managing
the supply of the tourism can help in increasing the space and time availability and sustain
them accommodate more users. The demand for visiting the place can manage with the
restriction to the length of space to a total number of the types that are used. Managing the
resources capabilities are also associated with the number of specified locations and developing
facilities (Schwartz, et al. 2012). They are outstanding with the different strategies and tactics at
a high level. They are:
 Reduce the use of the protected areas and encouraging the use of the other areas. The
charge of visitor fee to be minimal and requires certain skills and making it accessible to
use
 Reduction in the problem areas- Limits the number of the problems regarding
discouragement and elimination to the facilities hinder in attraction medium
 Modify the location of use within problem areas- This can locate the facilities and
durability to segregate different types of visitors
 Modify timing – This indicates the fees of the visiting to be periodically dependable as of
the high use of it. It can certainly encourage with the peak use periods.
 Modify Types of the use and visitor behavior- The wilderness ethic is somewhat
discouraged and damaging practices that are strict must be prohibited. The
endangerment to the pets and horse and overnight use of the resources are required to
be banned (Hartmann, 2014).
 Modify visitor Expectations- This lead to the potential condition of the visitor and
appropriateness to the different shield
15

 Increase the resistance of the resource- The strengthening of the sites and shield can
excessively increase the resistance of the resources
 Maintain rehabilitation resource- The management tactics involves the removal of
problems and maintain rehabilitation locations (Weidenfeld and Leask, 2013)
These different strategies can articulate on the management functioning and provide the
resources to strengthen the measures accountable for the sites.
16

4.2
There are different techniques that are associated with the sustainable tourism. The
management techniques can be classified under the different measure. The aforementioned
sources help in articulating the details about the techniques that are accessible to use-
TECHNIQUES TO BE USED IN PROTECTED AREAS
 No allowance to the vehicles in those areas
 The public transport must be included with the low ignition fuel for the long business
parks as the full time, partial and optional basis
 The fees for the transport must be accountable in the entry charge
 The educational information exhibits guidance to the path which must accessible as in
the form of sign boards or recommended behavior
 The integrated systems must be included as the guidance walks linked to bus timing
 Partnership collaboration associated with the communities and government must be
followed by transport agencies
 The computer screens must provide the public transport network at the particular
locations (Ram, et al. 2016)
INTERPRETATION TECHNIQUES
 Personal services that help the visitors to directly guide in the places. The information
duty can be initiated with the special programs like guided walks, theatre dramas, and
campfire programs
 Non-Personal Services can provide information about the use of the technology. Wide
range of the technical aspects including the signs of publication, films, radio broadcasts
and films
 The information’s that are provided must be supporting the activities and facilities of
the visitor. The common facilities involve- amphitheaters, nature trails, visitor centers,
information boards, signs (Weidenfeld and Leask, 2013)
17

CONCLUSION
The specialized audio and visual equipment are provided in order to gain the imperative access
to the common activities that are highly trained interpretive, specialized media and another
interpretive plan. This all requires the information and are the responsibility of the
management to help the visitor in order to meet their appropriate expectations (Hartmann,
2014). It is critical to set the expectations in advance but can access to through coordinating in
the management plan.
18

CONCLUSION
The study gains a detailed understanding of the visitor attractions along with the impact of the
motivation theories related to the UK and overseas partners. The tourism consultant for Visit
Britain can increase the volume and value of the exports. The detailed appearance of different
types of visitor and their importance are an aid to the management of the visitor attraction
management can be investigated. The techniques and strategies that are applicable to the
tourism to maintain its sustainability are essayed in the study. The involvement of the range of
places like British Museum, National Maritime Museum, and The Queen's House is certainly
involved in the study to develop the process for the visitor attraction management.
