the ethical and moral problems of encourage enclave tourism in Qatar.
TASK 1
Benefits of stakeholders get from development and planning of tourism
As travel and tourism sector is big, so amount of stakeholders which is essential part of sector. In
tourism planning and development they include residents of host economies, hotels, speciality stores,
restaurants, gas stations business that provide to tourism, local government officials, small business,
tourism enterprises and establishments and consumers. All these stakeholders get benefit from
development of tourism within Qatar, France. The accountability of government in chosen destination to
form regulations and rules and cater regulatory model which identified all aspect of tourism in Qatar.
Government of Qatar prepared act for marketing of tourism in nation, that help to attract people towards
designation (Basu, 2017). Government of country earn huge revenue from tourism sector that is spent on
planning as well as development of this industry and also for well being of people.
Local community is one of the stakeholders that get benefits from development and planning of
tourism. Most of the people get the best employment opportunity because of tourism sector, they acquire
by different industries such as transport, hotels, resorts etc.
Tourism industry is the another stakeholder who get advantages from tourism development in
Qatar, they covers so many sectors such as airlines, motels & local transport. All these commercial
businesses progressing along with the growth of tourism in nation.
Disadvantage and advantage of public as well as private sector partnerships in tourism planing and
development
In tourism development and planning at Qatar private-public partnerships consist to benefits and
drawbacks that affect on procedure. It include collaboration between private sector organizations and
government agency that can be used to operate new projects, finance and development of tourism.
Planning & development of tourism in Qatar through PPP can permit project to be completed faster, on
the other hand it make difficulties to run procedure effectively.
Advantage-

PPP include early completion bonuses that increase efficiency in future, it is rely upon
cooperation among these companies, perform for well being of this sector in Qatar and for betterment of
residential people (Brokaj, 2014). Private-public partnerships helps to build better tourism planning and
infrastructure solutions than initiatory that is entirely public or wholly private. Throughout PPP possibility of
project completion is faster and it also help to reduce delays on tourism planning and development at
Qatar. It helps Qatar tourism by taking it a brand and now influx of tourist is maximizing every year in
nation.
Disadvantage-
Government make assure that there is equal rivalry in sector, each and very company must be
provided fair opportunity to grow up, but there is one disadvantage of PPP in tourism planning and
development, when political situation of nation is not stable it would lead to lack of coordination among
private and public sector which finally harm tourism planning and development at Qatar.
TASK 2
Steps of tourism development planning procedure
It is a dynamic procedure of systematically selecting alternative courses of actions, determining
goals to simply develop sustainable development in tourism (Calabrò and Della Spina, 2014). Procedure
of planning is very essential for development and growth of tourism in Qatar, it is important for
development of nation.
Stages of tourism development planning process:
Acquire understanding- before planning the process of tourism development information
gathering is very important because it helps to identify the needs and requirement related to program of
tourism development in Qatar.
Investigation of gathered data- information which is collected from market research is
important in tourism development planning, by the support of appropriate data tourism organizations is
able to provide high amount of satisfaction to nation.
First level planning- it is significant that planning must begin in step by step procedure. First
level of planning is work in effective manner by which will be able to complete tourism development
planning. According to this stage, tourism industries is accountable to take better decision based on
above data analysis.
Resource and market analysis- after passing the above stages, analysis of market and assets
is very essential because it helps to complete the procedure of tourism development planning effectively.
Cultural, environmental and other facilities analysis help to direct the overall plan. Land availability and
government attitudes support to run tourism development plan efficiently.
Selection of best plan- authorization chose the best plan and take permission from government
to implement tourism development planning procedure.

Implement program- Implement last final stage that is activation of plan that drive towards
tourism development planning.
Evaluate and direct- by establishing operations international tourism consultant can monitor and
assure continuing quality of operation success and services.
Features at different level-
Attributes of tourism development planning procedure at local authority is quite different, it help to
develop living standards of local people live in Qatar. It also features at national levels, helps in growth of
nations.
Interactive planning and significant in systems procedure in tourism development
Interactive planning is like other types of planning such as inactive, preactive and reactive
planning. IP systems play critical role in success and growth of tourism development, planning ahead
means that all stakeholder in tourism development in Qatar can benefit local area around specific
development environmentally, economically and socially (Canavan, 2014). Tourism evolution carry many
problems to residential people, overcrowding designation, superstructure events, traffic congestion and
socio cultural diminution. Most of these issues attribute to insufficient planning and unrestrictive tourism
policies. Some destinations have benefits from tourism planning and development without any previous
planning, but some of their plans partially implemented due to lack of interactive planning system, it helps
to suggest that too make clear budgets and take better decisions. Interactive planning procedure and
system is significant in tourism development in Qatar, it help to prevent from any hazards that effect on
development procedure effectively. Interactive plan is significance for tourism development it help to
make assure that all stages of tourist and communities get include to plan in order to deflect over budget
spending and helps to minimize negative influence on local communities. Interactive planning procedure
and system do not exclude essential to have tourism panning with market orientation, it provide the
correct product or services for consumers.
Tourism impacts
It is defined as an effect brought about by indirectly and directly by tourism rules and policies,
tourism related infrastructure and establishments as well as tourist behaviour. Tourism impacts
economic, as it contributes to increase sales, revenues, profit of small business and income in Qatar.
Economic impact investigation of tourism act normally focuses on changes in income and employment in
region within nation resulting from tourism activity. Social impacts of tourism spread beyond, it helps to
improve living standards for local people, upliftment of women, increased employment, reduce poverty
rather than before. It helps to expanded community facilities and also stimulate the new ones such as
improvement of retail, entertainment and restaurants options, sporting and education facilities (Dickinson
and Peeters, 2014). Tourism make beneficial impacts on environment by contributive to environmental
conservation and protection. The relation between tourism and environment is tangled, it include many
activities that have harmful environmental influence. it considered as the best way to raise awareness of
environmental values to increase economic importance and to management protection of natural areas.

Economic measures, environmental measures and social measures are the three different types
of methods which has been used to measure the tourism impacts effectively. STEAM model is one of the
best model available for measuring volume and impact of tourism, it is a tourism economic impact
procedure which assist measurement of tourism from bottom up.
Environment measures aim is to evaluate environmental costs, it helps to predict environmental
consequences of planned development activities to assure that potential risk forecast and essential
measured to avoid. Travel intensity index is also considered as one of the best method that helps to
analyse dimension of visitors to local people.
TASK 3
Justify the concept of sustainable tourism
From the last decade level of success has been earned by the number of travel and tourism
industry across the world. However, ST is an sector that is attached to making a low impact on culture,
environment and aids to generate future employment for people. Additionally, Qatar is committed to the
sustainable development and put the huge consideration over the ecological and responsible tourism.
Thus, travelling and living consuming must be concerted with the environmental and ethical or all other
considerations. It can be stated that Paris has embarked on sustainable approach in number of domains.
Hence, it can be stated that tourism at the places such as Niagara falls in North America, London, pairs
and Rome is eminently sustainable. There are the places that put major consideration over the
maintenance of tourism.
Sustainable initiatives in Qatar is much more environment friendly stay. In the era of travel and
tourism, the legal authorities needs to take initiatives as to developing and emerging to be the careful and
use the resources effectively that are already limited in nature (Garcia, Vázquez and Macías, 2015).
Thus, Qatar is keen to promote the use of technological in the execution of most of the economic and
social development programs that aimed at improving quality of tourism.
Analyse the components that prevent sustainable tourism development
In this present era, nothing came easy, to get something world has to deal the certain factors that
can cause hindrance in Implementation of process that can assist companies to operate functions
effectively. However, there are different cause of hindrance in the implementation of process and that
there are in the market to assist different nations and companies to assist with it.
Henceforth, the first and foremost issue that can happen is to demand of consumers hat is never
ending in nature no matter how much countries ready to spend it always short to satisfy requirements of
the people. Another component is that there are number of countries in which the level of competition is
enhancing day by day. This is the main reason that there are number of the countries that are taking
initiatives to get top position to have extra in assets in order to match up with the leading destination of
the travelling market.

Therefore, legal authorities indicated that lack of skilled labour workforce, ineffective
infrastructure, lacklustre marketing and weak financial system can be the key obstacles for the under-
exploitation of the rich and diverse travel and tourism activities.
Stages of sustainable tourism development planning
tourism industry is higher depends on the variety of environmental, economical and social
features and factors that are abundant and unspoiled nature resources and outstanding recreational
setting. Hence, the presence of tourism industry is called out be the significant negative impact on the
quality of environment and settings in destinations. Thus, it can be stated that preparation for sustainable
development define as environment preservation planning that includes assortment of research, prior yo
decision for deciding direction of development. Hence, all these actions needs to be interpreted in order
to keep from intensive use of the resources in particular areas without past care for the preservation of
the resources. It is one of the crucial factor as this account for tourism development without compromise
and destroy development within the natural, cultural and economic resources. However, it can enhance
and encourages the conservation of economic resource, natural resource to bring revenue into the
community and economy.
TASK 4
Issues of conflict of interests
Conflict of interest among different stakeholders in tourism development and planning procedure
at Qatar occurs. Aspire park is the example of conflict of interest in Qatar, park is known f or touristry,
due to heavy inflow of visitors in this place causing harm of environment which is not appropriate for
environment safety. Keeping ability of park is exceeded their limits and it created battle between the
government and tourism companies of Qatar (.Rodrigues, Rodrigues and Peroff, 2015). When the flow of
people at park is increased the planning and development of tourism suffers a lot which will further
outcomes in diminishing number of visitors. Water and air near by the areas is being polluted by tourism
development which affect the whole life of local population. In order to improve and solve conflict of
interest, government of Qatar take actions against it, they asked local tourism companies to reduce CO2
emission by implementing current equipment which is highly expensive. Government take action and
restricted some of the areas for private use that bring many difficulties for companies working under
tourism industry since for so long. When government and tourism firms work together they can save
environment and beauty of tourist destination.
Implication of sustainability tourism development in Qatar for balancing demand and supply
It means balance betwixt the needs & supply so that tourist destination such as Qatar could be
developed and improved without harming stakeholders interests. It is very essential that traveller is
satisfied by destination and it also not influenced in negative way because of activities related to tourism.
Demand in tourism sector is increased rapidly in last year and Qatar has been sighted ceaseless increase
in foreign tourist in nation. People seeking to expand their business more in tourism which outcomes in
high requirement of developed tourism destination such as Qatar. But availability of visitors destination is

not capable to meet supply because of maximized demand of country as famous destination carrying
ability of nation crossed boundary. This infraction of keeping ability because of lack of balance in supply
as well as needs is hindering tourism development and planning in country. By implementing sustainable
tourism development Qatar can be able to balance demand and supply in nation effectively. Tourist are
aware of its accountability and effectively understand issues caused by its insincerity. The government of
country performing on development of infrastructure for sustainable tourism to help extra inflow of visitors
and defined partnerships with public and private companies. It helps to make less explored tourism
destination and easily provide accessibility to reduce main issues.
Ethical and moral issues of promoting and developing enclave tourism
Enclave tourism is touristy in tourism destinations where visitors actions is congregated and
designed in one tiny geographic area seeking to permit tourists to feel and experience wholly of their
travel purpose. In simple words, when tourism is limited to particular destinations which is smaller than
the other geographic area, but cater whole experience of tourism to people, is called enclave tourism. To
make profit by reducing spending on services by tourism sector is the main reason behind ET. Economic
weakness of Qatar is the main issues for government which cannot be clarified as ethical activity. To
counter mastery of foreign firms in ET, country need to protect interest of nation through tourism
strategies and policies.
TASK 5
Current issues in Paris and emerging country
Environmental issue
India is the facing that issue as due to increasing tourism activities crowd has been raised in the
nation which is increases pollution in the nation (Torres-Delgado and Palomeque, 2014). This problem is
creating problem of local people live in Paris. Whereas Qatar is the nation where consumption of natural
resources are high which creates problem for government to manage atmosphere.
Economic issue
India being a developing nation has stable economic condition but there are poor employment
opportunities for the population which affect economic value of nation hence government is unable to
spend much amount in infrastructure development. Whereas Qatar is the emerging country where
currency exchange is quite difficult hence region is unable to raise foreign reserves.
Social issues
India has rich culture but also there is high crime rate but Qatar people are unable to provide
satisfactory services to foreign consumers which sometimes dissatisfy the travellers.
Recommendation
 Indian government has to work hard for developing infrastructure facilities in the nation so that
more tourist take interest in coming here which will be helpful in increasing employment

opportunities in the nation. Qatar government has to make flexible currency exchange policies so
that it can be done properly.
 Government of Qatar has to train its local people and have to make them familiar with other
tourist which will help them in making interaction with them easily. Furthermore, Indian
government has to take action to minimize crime rate in the nation.
CONCLUSION
From above it has been summarized that importance of tourism is viewed from different angles
like social, economic and environmental. In development of tourism, tourism companies faced many
issues such as ethical and moral. In order to developed tourism successful, all the stage of tourism
development planning is followed by tourism sector effectively. Public-private partnerships help to run
procedure efficiently and also contribute to gain profit rather than before. Furthermore, by implementing
interactive planning systems government and tourism sector successfully developed tourism in Qatar.
