P4.1 The issues of conflict of interests and methods of resolving it
Conflict with Stakeholders
Stakeholders are an important element of growth for any business. The sustainability
development in tourism is also highly depended on stakeholders. There stakeholders of Bude are
local peoples, which have many ethical concerns with the destination tourism. Because the land
and sea adopted by Bude developers to attain growth. This impact livelihood of many natives of
Bude as this destination forces them to change their habit of food. They can resolve this conflict
by allow them to grow crops and do fishing for some hours when there are fewer tourists in

Bude. Also, they can provide them some monetary benefits from their profits as they are
depended on sea food and crops on sea shore of Bude.
Conflict with Government
UK Government also have big concerns regarding Bude. As Bude is a tourist destination
which attracts numerous tourist all over the world every year. The government levied tax on their
destination, which implies decrease in their profitability (Miller, Merrilees, and Coghlan, 2015).
Government of UK should promote their tourism destination. But they levied tax which affects
functioning of the destination Bude. Government can solve the conflict by promoting Bude in
other countries and by providing funds for their infrastructure like hotels and resort in Bude.
Conflict with local people
The native support is a key behind increase tourism in Bude. They make efforts for make
Bude a better place for tourism. But as the majority of population is indulged in tourism of Bude
therefore, the earning for their livelihood remains a topic of conflict between them. For resolving
this measure local government make efforts for more development in infrastructure so that
development in lives of local people take place.
P4.2 The implications of sustainable tourism development for balancing supply & demand
Tourism industry is always concern about social, economic and environmental impacts by
analysing needs of tourists in Bude in Cornwall.
There are numerous challenges being faced by tourism industry and local business in
sustainable development in Bude. Many businesses demand funds for successful implication of
their functioning. Government fulfils their demand by providing funds to those businesses of
Bude for successful operations.
Economic growth is basically focusing in sustainability tourism development. As the
local level that is Bude, attain profitability by their tourists and this effects regional government
of Cornwall. They attain success and growth for which government build infrastructure to
promote tourism of Bude.
Infrastructure developed in Bude are highly liked by Tourists who visit their. So, they are
attaining a huge profit from available infrastructure too. The tourist demands good service from
resorts and hotels at Bude. Thus, the professionals of Bude are making their demand satisfy by
make available right service at right time. For this they recruit local people of Bude for their
contribution to build towards local economy.

Activities of tourism are supplying for foreign exchange, which allows economic
diversification and development. Therefore, tourism is powerful for creation of a fair value chain
in context of regional development.
In this way, demand and supply is well balanced in sustainable tourism development.
P4.3 Evaluate the moral and ethical issues of developing and promoting enclave tourism
Ethical and moral issues face by developing and promoting enclave tourism are as
follows :
Food habit and livelihood of local people of Bude
For promoting enclave tourism in Bude, Resorts need a huge chunk of seaside. People
livelihood is depended on fishing which will be transferred to make a tourism enclave resort. The
source of income of local people of Bude will ruin from enclave tourism. Also, food which they
consume from sea and food crops near sea shore will also take away from them by promoting
enclave tourism. This is unethical that building ones comfort place by ruining another person's
livelihood.
Green issues
There will some green issues regarding enclave tourism is that Bude's local area will pollute
when visitors come at place. As they use vehicles and travel through ship also pollute water of
the sea (Miller, Merrilees, and Coghlan, 2015). It can be minimised only by professionals who
execute Enclave tourism. They arrange plans of tourist in efficient manner and can minimise
pollution by standard awareness.
Stakeholders
Income of various stakeholders like local population, tourism employees, local guides
etc. affects a lot by developing an enclave tourism.

Climate change
Climate change also impact tourism in positive and negative way both. Weymouth offers
their client environment friendly services which lack the services provided by Bude (Torres-
Delgado, and Palomeque, 2018). Weymouth use natural sources to produce electricity and this
will consume in their place by tourists. This way these issues affect development of Bude. Bude
need to accomplish lot of innovations of their successful functioning.
Facilitate with advanced technology
Bude is a developing destination that is why they try to make facilities of advance
technologies in their tourist destination to their guests. Whereas being an emerging destination
Weymouth does not h ave enough facility of technologies to provide comfort to their guest.

Both the destinations are succeeding in their development process. Here are some
recommendation that can be adopted by these destinations to attain more productivity.
Food tourism can be adopted by Bude and Weymouth both because the destinations have
many varieties of local sea food which they can promote to visitors arrive at their destination

Also, Culture tourism can be followed by both destination to provoke their lapse culture.
