Introduction:
In this report, the importance sustainable tourism has, and to know and discuss what are the
issues and the factors that are impacts on the tourism with different approaches, How the
investors can get the advantage by proper and efficient planning of the tourism destinations.
Discussing the positives and the negatives in both types of sectors, i.e., public sectors and the
private sectors. The importance of sustainable tourism destination has been shown in this report
and the role been played by the different kinds of systems and technology in the tourism sector.
The scenario of the report is quite clear, Qatar been developing and will be witnessing some of
the big events in the coming years, regarding those events, Hotels have been started to develop,
and hotel sector is increasing rapidly to meet the required demand.

Task 01
P1.1) Discuss how stakeholders can benefit from the planning of tourism developments
with reference to Qatar.
There are many events which will be held in Qatar, such as Fifa world cup 2022 and many
international conferences. Hence to fulfil these demands, the stakeholders or investors are highly
attracted towards sustainable .tourism in Qatar. These are suitable ways or techniques which can
benefit the stakeholders in the coming years (Sustainable tourism, 2014).
Online travel agencies: The total revenues been made in the travel and tourism sector is mainly
focused on the online attraction packages on various sites. The big part of the investors in the
Sustainable tourism sector has been replaced and made their way towards online travel services.
With the increase in the online services in recent years mainly in developing countries, the
investors have started to shift towards the online travel services (Juganaru, 2013).
Hotels industries: The hotel industry mainly in Qatar, is increasing rapidly, knowing the
demand it will be facing in the coming years. The hotels such as Marriott which are owned by
the public sector and many private hotels are also aiming to achieve and fulfil this demand.
Regarding this, the investors hugely own stocks of big hotels as they will be going to increase
their stock price in future years in Sustainable tourism.
Casinos and Resorts: Casinos are a very important leisure activity in the context of tourism
especially in Qatar. The main gambling in Qatar has been horse racing and betting. So, the
stockholders making money from these gambling events.
Due to the many events organising in Qatar in the coming years, Resorts are at peak, and in
Qatar which is a sand desert country, a good resort can be very attractive for foreigners and
investors have invested in these.

P1.2) Explain the advantages and disadvantages in the public and private sectors planning
partnerships with examples in Qatar.
Firstly, we have to understand what a public-private partnership is in the tourism sector. When
an organisation working in the public sector in tourism make a deal or contract on certain fields
with the private sector, it is called Public-private partnerships (DNA communications, 2018).
Only the government is not able to compete with the ongoing and future demands which Qatar
will be facing due to the coming FIFA 2022 world cup, regarding those the Qatar government
has initiating the public-private partnership which will be focusing on the tourism demand.
For example; From the past 10 years Qatar has been doing Public-private partnerships, in many
fields such as the government has converted and given the responsibility of the electricity and
water responsibilities to a single privately-owned organisation (Juganaru, 2013).
Recently, also the Qatar government has implemented BOOT which is Independent power and
water projects which will be focused on meeting the demands of the number of hotels and resorts
in the coming years in the tourism sector under sustainability (Sustainable tourism, 2014).
Advantages of Public-private partnerships are:
 It gives a more specific and efficient resource use techniques.
 It ensures good and on time technique implementations
 The extra costs due to public leverages will be less for private companies due to
collaborations.
 The experiences and quality of private sector organisations will be used well.
Disadvantages are:
 There will be an increase in the services in the infrastructure area will be expensive also.
 The post ponding of funds can affect heavily.
 The procurement procedures are time-consuming and costly (DNA communications,
2018).

INTRODUCTION
The tourism industry is

planning are to support the

Task 03
P3.1) Justify the introduction of tourism sustainability in tourism destinations with
reference to Qatar.
The word sustainability means going somewhere visiting there, without harming anything such
as society, environment, and economy and also making no negative impact on it. Any industry in
many nations, cannot achieve complete sustainability such as in Qatar, but Qatar can improve for
a better sustainable, with it (Juganaru, 2013).
Tourism impacts on the nations or areas in the usage of capitals, contamination in the tourism
destinations etc. There is a decent need for Sustainability.
To justify the need for sustainability in Qatar certain facts have been summarized to reflect
better:
 The Qatar tourism arrivals have made a drastically changed from 25 million to 250
million in just 25 years.
 Qatar has witnessed a 10% increase in the GDP reason being the tourism sector.
 The consumptions of electricity and water increase by 30% in the peak time of tourism.
The meaning of sustainability in the tourism sector is, travelling and visiting the tourism
destinations with regarding the values of its philosophy, environment, and resources. Qatar will
be gaining a boom in the tourism sector due to the FIFA world cup 2022 and also many more
events, and hence it is very important for Qatar to encourage the tourists about the sustainable
development tourism destination.
The nations such as Qatar have given a good amount of priority to the tourism industry, and
many countries have included this industry in the GDP of their nation, so the focus on the
sustainable use of the resources, culture and the environment changes to the money-making
(DNA communications, 2018).
The sustainable development in the tourism industry is very important because if the tourism
industry does not think about the social culture, the resources available here at the tourist
destinations are not used sustainable way, it decreases the life cycle of the destination. Qatar is in
its developing stages and hence sustainable tourism is important and mainly in a phase of certain
big events which will attract millions of people to the country (Sustainable tourism, 2014).

There are three main phases which should be discussed for the justification of sustainability:
Environmental sustainability: It is an important part of tourism without place tourism won’t
exist. It contains both the natural resources and places such as gardens, dunes etc. in Qatar and
the buildings, hotels and resorts come under this sector. It is very important as it ensures the
preservations of the resources for the local living there at the destinations with future tourism in
Qatar.
Socio-culture Sustainability: With an increase in the sustainability of the social culture of the
area it is very difficult for the locals living there as overcrowded places and some destinations
also see an increase in criminal activities. Hence sustainable use of social life is important in
Qatar.
Economic sustainability: The increase in the visitors of cheap and less expensive countries
increases their currency in Qatar; hence it unstable the economic condition of Qatar; hence it
should be managed by the government.
