There are various types of tourist attractions that attract visitor in very high range. Some
visitors are attracted to the natural beauty but some are attracted to monuments. People have their
own perceptions also, some can only want to visit places according to their culture. In UK, there
are generally 4 million tourist visit the country in a year. Every tourist place needs proper
management. Tourist of UK increases from the last some year and it will help in development of
economy also.
In UK, there are various places that attracts tourist in high range. In London, there is a
Science museum which attracts tourist in very large numbers. It is situated at the Exhibition road
and was established in nearly 1856. It is very beautiful place and almost 3 million people visit
this place in a year (Huang and Peng, 2012). There are almost 300,000 items which are displayed
over and visitors can see those items. 3G cinemas, IMAX are also added in the museum so that it
can also attract the visitors. Typewriter and the clock which is kept in the museum attracts more
tourist. It will help in generating revenue for the country which will help in growth and

It is also necessary to maintain market of the UK so that it will help to earn profit for the
organisation. There are many natural places in UK that attract visitors and they can also go there

praise such type of places.
There are also some places which are made by people that also attract visitors. To visit
those places, some of the places need tickets to visit but some of those are very expensive
(Catlin and et.al, 2011).But some places attract tourist because of their interiors or art; they are
quite impressive. Visitors can be influenced by the beauty of these places and can easily spent
lots of money to visit such places.
Visitors can also be attracted to such places like sports, fairs etc. There are some
activities which are carried according to seasonal activities and they attract more tourists also.

1.2 analyse the importance of different visitor attractions
Visitor attraction is very important for the development of country and they can also
introduce new services to their tourists. There are also many places which attract customers so

revenue or profit.
Visitor attractions is very indispensable for many more reasons which are described as
below:
 Visitor attraction is very essential to encourage the trade between many countries. It also
helps to create the mutual understanding between foreign country and domestic country.
If relationship is maintain peacefully then it will provide growth and development to the
travel industry.

 If any part of the historical building is get damaged then again re – build or construct it.
 Proper cleaning and safety of the public places, monuments etc.
LO 2
2.1 Evaluate the need and motivations of different visitor types
If there is segmentation in the market then it will also attract the tourist and help the
organisation to create more profits (Ayoubian and et.al, 2014). Market segmentation means
dividation of the market in various parts so that they can provide proper services to the people
and they can also target the group for the sale of their products and services. In this market is
divided according to the taste and preferences of the customers so that they can fulfil their
demand. Market can also divide according to the gender, age, income, marital status, occupation
etc.
Visitors can be of many types each types of visitors demand and need according to their
tastes and preferences. There are various types of visitors which are described as below:
Stopovers visitors: Those people who are come from various countries and also stay
more than 24 hours. These type of visitors can come for wedding purpose also in the country.
Organisation can provide them better services so that they can come again also and tell their

friends or relatives to visit these place. If the place is very attractive then also tourist can visit
many times and explore the country's places, natural beauty, amusement parks etc. They are the
medium which can help to increase the economy of the country. If country has more visitors then
they can earn more revenue or profits. They can also come to island by the sea way.
Cruise stopover visitors: These types of visitors also come to the country for more than
24 hours and stay at cruise but they want their accommodation which is based on land.
Day visitors: It means those people who come to visit for not more than 24 hours. They
visit places for a picnic purpose and come for relaxation. These types of people come from near
the country.
Transit: It means those people who never stay at one place in fact they visit one place to
another and one country to another.
These type of visitors are very necessary for the country because they help in the
development of the country and also help in revenue generation.
Geographic segmentation: There are various types of geographical area in the market so
that organisation needs to make different types of strategies for every type of market to increase
the sales and profits. It is also depend on the size and climate of market. When company produce
their products and services then they need to determine the environment because every people
has their own needs and wants according to the climate also.
Demographic segmentation: It is very important to identify the demographic of the
market so that company can fulfil demand of every type of people. Market is dividing according
to the age, income of the people, gender, background or family (Sánchez-Cañizares and López-
Guzmán, 2012). Their needs and wants also depend on their purchasing power also. It also helps
in the attraction of visitors:
 Division of the age also helps the customers so that they will fulfil their needs and wants.
If market is divided according to age then customers can easily identify the destination
from where they can purchase the goods and services. It will also attract the visitors
because they can easily find the place according to their taste.

 Gender segmentation is also very necessary and will helpful to find the products
according to the need. There are various places in the country that are segmented
according to the gender and visitor can easily find out the perfect place for them because
men and women both have different choices and preferences that they want to fulfil.
There taste is very different regarding their choices like footwear, clothes, accessories
etc.
 Income of the people can also affect the purchasing power of the visitor. If they have
high income then they spent more but if they do not have high income then they only
spent on the necessary things.
Behavioural segmentation: It is also necessary to focus on the behaviour of the people.
Some people are very loyal to the brand they use and they never switch the brand. It is also very
necessary for the organisation that they make proper strategies for the visitors so that they can
fulfil their needs according to their behaviour.
Psycho graphic segmentation: It is divided according to the attitude, lifestyles,
personalities, class of their society and also their behaviour so that organisation divides the
market according to this (von der Weppen and Cochrane, 2012).
There are some motivational factors which are related to the visitors are described as
below:
 Every visitor has their own attitude that can easily influence the factors of motivation.
 Family and their ages also motivate the packages of the tourism.
 Visitors can visit Atlas mountains, Bahia palace in Morocco and Valley of the kings,
Egyptian museum in Egypt. These places attract more visitors towards them.
2.2 Evaluate impacts of tourism on visitor attractions
Tourists are very essential for the country and generally they attract more to the places or
monuments of the country. They provide great impact on the visitor’s attractions because there
are various types of factors which can attract towards the packages and trips which is provided
by the tourism industries. Customers or visitors have different demands so that it is necessary for
an organisation that they provide those products and services accordingly. It is also very difficult
task to manage the visitors in various situations. There are various impacts on the visitor’s
attractions which are mentioned as below:

Overcrowding and carrying capacity: Many of the organisations are very greedy and
their main motto is to maximise their profits from the tourist or visitors. The visitors or tourist
always want that specific number of people go together at a time to the particular destination
because they want their trip vary calm and peaceful. But some organisations take excess of
people to the same location at the same time. That will create hustle all around and the image of
the organisation will fall down. And the visitors or tourists will be getting dissatisfied from the
service of organisation. It can also affect the development and growth of the organisation
(Dubois and Fraser, 2013).
Accidents: If there is many accidents take places in some of the destination then it will
affect the package of the organisation that is designed by them. So it is necessary that
organisation can find out those places where many accidents took place many times because
many of the visitors do not want to visit such places because of their safety. There will also no
facilities are provided regarding transportation because of those accidents.
Facilities: It is also very necessary that organisation must provide better facilities to the
tourists or consumers so that they satisfied with the services and also attracts towards their
products. It will help in the development and growth of the organisation.
Education and training: It is also necessary that the destination which is chosen must
provide information to the visitors. If the visitors are from any college, school or university then
it will also help in their studies.
Destination: it is very important factor that has big impact and also can change the mind
of the visitors and also provides motivation because it provide proper satisfaction to them and
also fulfil their needs and wants.
Some of the major impact of tourism on visitor attractions are as follows:
 Environmental factors can affect the tourism either negatively or positively. So it is very
necessary to evaluate these factors properly.
 Social and economical factors can also affect the visitor attractions. They also encourage
the relationship of the tourist and people who are live their positively.
 Economy of the country can also provide impact on attractions of visitors and they also
help in the development of economy of the country.
Examples: Atlas mountains, Bahia palace they both are in Morocco.
Examples: Valley of the kings, Egyptian museum they both are in Egypt.

2.3 Analyse the effect of different theories of tourist motivation on management of visitor
attractions
There are many theories of the motivation that every organisation has to follow for
market sustainability and also promoting their products and services. If they provide goods in an
effective and efficient manner then it will provide satisfaction to the visitors, customers or
tourists (Collins-Kreiner and et. al., 2013).
Responsible tourism: It means the life of the customer and their behaviour can also
affect the tourism industry. The tourism industry can also affect ecology and community and it is
necessary to overcome from these factors so that the condition of the tourism can be improved.
There are various ways which is adopted by the organisation for their improvement and it is also
necessary to implement it so that it will help to maintain the environment safe and clean.
 It is necessary that trade must be fair so that it will provide benefit to the customers and
visitors. It also provides employment to local people and all the money will be invested in
the local market so that development and growth can be possible.
 It is also essential that policies must provide security to environment without any harm. If
the policies are effective then it will help to keep environment safe and clean.
The smart consumer theory: This theory is related with duty and responsibilities of the
consumers. It is the main responsibility of consumer to provide safety to environment and do not
harm it. Also it is the duty and responsibility of the consumer that do not harm any public place
where they visit (Acebes, Malo and Traba, 2011).
Push and Pull theory: Push and Pull both the factors are very important in the behaviour
of tourist and their motivation. Push factors are related with those motives that drives people
away from their home and pull factors are those which drives people towards any destination.
Push factors always encourage people to visit or travel other places and pull factors help them to
arise the person on a particular destination.

LO 4
4.1 analyse different visitor management strategies
