Research Method: Tourism Employee Perception and Sustainable Tourism

This report presents a research study focusing on the relationship between tourism employee perception and their attitude toward sustainable tourism in the Maldives. The study employs a conceptual framework with independent (socio-demographic characteristics, perception of tourism impact) and dependent variables (support for sustainable tourism development), along with several hypotheses. The report reviews relevant journals, summarizing key findings related to customer satisfaction, product development, climate change, and the social and political dimensions of sustainability within the context of the Maldives. It identifies barriers to sustainable development, including economic and environmental factors, and emphasizes the importance of employee attitudes and government policies in fostering sustainable tourism practices. The research aims to provide insights into how tourism professionals view sustainable tourism and their willingness to support it, considering socio-demographic characteristics, tourism impacts, and overall evaluation of tourism.

Part A
Conceptual framework
From the above conceptual framework, it is analysed that there are three types of factors
that independent, dependent and mediating variable. Independent variable is that which variation
is not depended on the any other variable. On the other side dependent variable is that which is
measure in experiment and it get affected during the experiment. Mainly dependent variable
responds to the independent variable. Mediating variable is that which lead to cause medication
in the dependent and the independent variables. It can be stated that it shows the relationship
between dependent variable and independent variables. Therefore, entire process of complete
mediation is known as complete intervention which is caused by mediator variable.
There is significant relationship between independent and dependent variable.
The present study will endeavour to elucidate the following problem statement. That is to what
extent there is relationship between tourism employee’s perception and their attitude toward
sustainable tourism. The variables which are tested are three independent and the dependent
variable’s.
The independent variables were
Socio demographic characteristics of the residents
The way people observe tourism impact and they way it leads to evaluate these impacts?

The way people observe socio-demographic characteristics which is different in their perceptions
and evaluation of tourism impacts
The dependent variable is
People support for sustainable tourism development
1.5 hypothesis
H1 = There is relationship between customer satisfaction and product development in Maldives.
H2: There is relationship between protection and climate change in Maldives.
H3: There is relationship between customer satisfaction and product development in Maldives
If the ideal of viable tourism change should be moved closer, it must be through extended
nature with exercises included and through association of among others private territory and
close-by business. Among others business from the tourism business. Researcher maintained this
declaration by showing that the in neighborhood aggregate should similarly be related with this
system. Contrary to the ahead of time of indicated clarifications. It is communicated in their
revelations that, tourism may cause moderate change in an overall population's characteristics,
feelings and social practices and that area people may be inclined to change their lifestyle. Not to
neglect the environmental perspectives, the examination from the similarly found that a
gathering's physical normal should be secured, and genuine ethics and standard should be kept
up through planning and guideline programs. Despite the way that the association between
regular supportability and support for tourism was not quantifiably gigantic, the relationship and
the delayed consequences of these two Variables could be essential chooses for a temperate

there are various factors which are dependent
on other factors such as customer satisfaction
and product development.
The purpose behind this examination is to
uncover some understanding into how tourism
specialists in Maldives see viable tourism
impacts and its change and their availability to
help. This examination consider has been
coordinated with three self-governing
components (socio-measurement, tourism
influence and the general evaluation of
tourism) and the destitute variable (support for
tourism). The theories attempted are:
The qualification among delegates' socio-
measurement properties with respect to the
perspective of plausible tourism impacts,
general appraisal of viable tourism impacts and
their assistance for supportable tourism.
The self-ruling elements (socio-measurement
characteristics, agents' perspective of viable
tourism impacts, specialists' evaluation of
practical tourism impacts) don't on a very basic
level illuminate the dependent variable
(reinforce for supportable tourism change).
