TASK 1
P 1.1- Benefits of stakeholders in planning process of the organisation.
Stakeholders hold very important place in the organisation and their suggestions are also
very important to be worked on because they are the one who are directly or indirectly affected
by the workings of company (Erkuş-Öztürk and Eraydın, 2010). Employees, managers,
customers or tourist etc. are the stakeholder of company. So, stakeholders should get some
benefits from the firm in order to meet their various needs. Philippines tourism development
gives their stakeholders many benefits which are: Opportunities to employees- Employees are the persons who are directly related to the
workings of the company. Involving them in the planning process of organisation will
give them motivation to work harder which will increase their efficiency and will open
various opportunities to them. Online occupational network and employment resource
CareerIgniter, the hospitality industry can give you the opportunity to operate a tour
company, plan events at a resort, or board a cruise ship as a recreation director.
However, in order to succeed in any of these dynamic fields, the importance of college-
level hospitality administration training cannot be underestimated.

 Wildlife protection and conservation- Planning in Philippines tourism development will
also cover the part which will discuss about how to protect and conserve the wildlife in
the country which will eventually increase the attractiveness of sanctuary and will lead to
attract the tourists and satisfy them (Niedziółka, 2014). Through planning, measures of
wildlife protection can be taken by involving several stakeholders. From this, support
from several stakeholders will attained that aids in gaining positive outcome. Scenery- Beauty of landscape or scenery will increase by planning various improvement.
These improved changes will attract more and more tourists and will satisfy them to
come again at that place which have a good landscape. Co-ordination between public and private partners- Planning in the team will help the
public and private partners to co-ordinate with each other and perform better for the
development team (Ruhanen, 2013). This will lead to decrease in conflicts and will
increase the efficiency of work. Participation of stakeholders- Organisational planning will involve the participation of
stakeholder which will help the company to know about their various stakeholders and
their suggestions. Planning will also help to know the different perceptions of them. Protection of tourists- Tourists or consumer will feel safe and secure by the planning
process. Planning will include measures to keep tourists safe because there are wild
animals who are dangerous for them (Matarrita-Cascante, Brennan and Luloff, 2010).
Safety of the tourists or customer is most important for Philippines.
 Infrastructure- Planning in Philippines tourism development will lead to develop the
infrastructure of the place which will attract more tourists to visit Philippines.
Nevertheless, it is a must for any destination to maintain proper infrastructure facilities
to attract tourist to the area. Without the basic infrastructure facilities no touristic activity
can take place. Therefore, in order to promote a destination first of all there should be
proper infrastructure facilities.
P 1.2- Advantages and disadvantages of public and private sectors who are planning partnership.
There will be many advantages and disadvantages associated with the planning of
partnership between them. In Philippines there is need to protect the environment very much and
partnership between these sectors will help them (Liburd and Edwards, 2010). Public tourism
sector is managed by government and private tourism sector is managed by some individuals or
4

private firm. Partnership between them will lead to many advantages as well as disadvantages in
Philippines tourism development are:
Advantages of partnership are:
 Resource allocation- Partnership between private and public tourism sector of Philippines
will lead to effective allocation of all resources needed by these sectors which will also
save the scarce resources of the place.
 Improved infrastructure- Private and public partnership will include different
infrastructure of sectors and their link up will lead to improved infrastructure of both the
sectors because these both sectors will have different resources in terms of natural,
cultural, heritage and human (Reihanian, Kahrom and Hin, 2012).
Disadvantages of partnership: Conflicts- Partnership between private and public sector can lead to some conflicts or
disputes between them which will affect the tourist industry of the Philippines. Difficulty in managing- Merger of these tourist sectors will face some difficulty to
manage the tourism development because they both will have various and different
objectives to achieve. Lack of motivation- Public and private tourist sector partnership will decrease or will lead
to lack of motivation between their employees because at this time managers does not
have time to fulfil the needs of their employees (Lee, 2013).
 Work load- Employees work load will be increased by the merger of public and private
tourist sector.

P 2.2- Significance of interactive planning systems and processes in tourism developments.
There are different types of interactive planning systems and processes which have some
significance in tourism developments. Work of Philippines tourism developments will become
easy by these interactive system and processes which are as follows:
 Prediction- Planning can be done on the basis of prediction. By predicting that what will
be environmental conditions in the near future with the proper research can help in tourist
developments (Ruhanen, 2013). Prediction can also done on the basis of stakeholder by
which their suggestions will be taken for the further development of tourism.
 Process of participation- It includes the participation of all the members or workers who
are working in the team should be involved or participated in the planning process of
development group which will bring new and innovative suggestions to implement for

These are some systems and processes which will be important for planning in tourism
development and make the group more effective and efficient.
P 2.3- Different methods to measure impact of tourists.

by different models. These models are very much efficient for the development.

understand that by using some method there will be no negative impact on the
environment of the place (Liburd and Edwards, 2010). Attractiveness of the region will
not be harmed by any measure if it is harmed then it will also decrease the visit of tourists
at their place. Learning the impact of environment is necessary to measure the impact of
tourists. This environmental study will give all the details that where there is negative
impact on the environment and where is no impact. It will also give measure to remove
the negative impacts.
 Responsible tourism- This model will decease or reduce all the negative impact on
environmental, social, economic factors. By using responsible tourism model economic
growth of local region will be increased (Reihanian, Kahrom and Hin, 2012). Local
people of that region will be satisfied because they will be involved by the team in
decision making because they will be highly affected by the negative impact. Interaction
of local people and the tourists will increase and healthy environment will be maintained.
This will help in attracting more and more tourists to their place.

demand and demand will be full depend on price if the tourism sector will be give more
innovation in package or less price than demand will be high .tourism is price high and
low qulatiy than demand will be fall down.
