INTRODUCTION
Sustainable tourism development refers to the adequate use of resources that helps to
maintain the development within tourism sector in order to carry out ecological processes
suitably. It ensures viable growth within economic operations that benefits diverse stakeholders
in terms to exploit the opportunity and participate in effective deliver of tour and travel services
(Ali and Frew, 2013). This report cover topics like adverse affect faced by tourism industry for
the development of sustainable tourism. Analyse the processes required that helps in developing
effective strategies for sustainable tourism in order to attain the objective. Determine the
contribution of stakeholders in order to participate in global sustainable tourism. Further,
compare as well as contrast the outcomes associated with sustainable tourism strategies within

TASK 1
P1
Tourism brings prosperity within the country by attracting various traveller which
increases foreign direct investment. But at the same time there are certain disastrous
consequences which can affect the environment and become as a barrier to perform sustainable
tourism operations. Certain impacts that affect travel and tourism industry are listed down below:
Scarce resources: The natural resources are limited but the wants of people are
unlimited which acts as a disadvantage for tourism industry in order to satisfy the requirements
of each and every tourist (Cottrell, Vaske and Roemer, 2013). Like, large amount of water is
required to cover the requirements of tourism in terms of run the hotels and swimming pool
facility. Abundant use can further affect the existing quality of water available for population and
flora and fauna diversity.
Causes physical degradation of an ecosystem: Travel and tourism industry will alter
the environmental equilibrium within the environment as tourist economy operates with the
intention of gaining enormous level of value and competitiveness. This led business to carried
out its activity in good area to increase sales as most facilities are developed close to shores or
central forests proximity that can result in problems such as depletion, soil erosion possibilities,
land degradation that degrade the standard of living in environment.

P2
Feasible tourism growth refers to external variables which need to be evaluated
successfully until developing suitable goods and also facilities for different wants travellers. Like
a traveller becoming a part of every travel so if it's really a community or single trip is about
learning unique challenge, relaxing and discovering new place. Environmental sustainability
organization needs to pursue those factors to ensure healthy development by effectively
protecting the benefit of the entire world.
Social: Under socio and cultural factor the organisation analyse the customer behaviour
as well as anticipate change in their trend to match up with the requirements of external party.
Tourism industry gain immense hike as travelling activity are highly preferred all around the
globe. Also solo trips are highly in demand due to which the internal members need to make the
whole arrangement as per the requirements and budget of traveller (Farmaki, 2015).
Environment: Environment refers to the surrounding that needs to be preserve by
tourism development and accordingly promote sustainable development. The growth of company
should not harm the natural reservoir due to which efforts are taken by most of the global
companies to invest in CSR activities where they organise plans to carry out plantation of trees,
eliminate the use of non biodegradable items as well as participate to control the carbon
footprint.
TASK 2
P3
Integrated approach needs to be delivered in order to systematically plan out and manage
the requirements associated with sustainable tourism. To carry out growth recognition for global
tourism organisation it is essential to bring out operations throgh rendering eth principles which
leads to feasible tourism growth.
Key principles of sustainable tourism development
Involve local communities: The tourism company must promote the quality employment
to the local resident so that they can develop desirable lifestyle. Certain organisation like Expat
Explora travel and Brendan vacations not only offer diverse employment but also make efforts to
update their knowledge and skill which helps in personal growth of staff (Harris, William and
Griffin, 2012). Further, education and training programmes are designed for new and existing

staff due to which they gain wider picture on the basis of which practices are performed to
maintain natural resources as well as heritage.
Maintain biodiversity: Most of the successful organisation like Topdeck takes effort to
preserve social, natural as well as cultural diversity which helps to develop the resilient base top
carry out long term sustainable growth for tourism. Thus, it these diversities are maintained then
it significant acknowledge the requirements of local residence as well as business.
Conclusion: Thus, adequate application of principles helps to integrate the operation of
tourism by delivering significant amount of quality to the tourist. It further helps in building
significant relationship with internal as well as external stakeholders to gain better performances.
TASK 3
P4
Stakeholders are the internal or external members of an organisation who are interested to
overview the performance and accordingly participate to gain personal and organisational
welfare. Varieties of role performed by diverse stakeholders are defined below:
Government: Government plays an essential role within travel and tourism industry as
they design as well as implement policies to attract the percentage of visitor within country. The
role of government is to improve the infrastructure by investment in the development of
transportation and communication medium. In addition to that, protection and investments are
maintained in order to maintain tourism attention and motivate sustainability through inclusive
development.
Tourist: Tourists may be community tourists, single tourists or international travelers
who job is to see various sights and destinations from a range. Unless the appeal attracts the
traveler's attention, they schedule their trip and also persuade others by word of mouth ads
(Jamal and Camargo, 2014). There are many tourist sites within the UK, such as Roman-Era
Bath, Ancient Stonehenge, Wonder Windsor, and so forth which draw the visitors extremely.
Efforts should be made to create meaningful interactions then this will contribute to a nation's
likelihood of discordance and impact tourists.
P5
The contribution of stakeholders immensely helps to systematically carry out the global
operations in order to participate in strategic growth and development of global tourism

company. It has a beneficial impact on the preparation and also foreign and local investors in
achieving consistently their organizational goals and objectives.
Traveller: It is the main external stakeholder that favourable contributes the global
tourism organisation to generate the significant amount of revenue in order to carry out
worldwide operation (.Spenceley and Meyer, 2012). The functioning takes place according to the
interest level of tourist like hotels and destination location are arranged according to their
majority preference. Thus, efforts needs to make to develop favourable experience as
contribution of traveller increase FDI and improves employment opportunity for local
community.
Internal employees and profession: These stakeholders again immensely contribute in
order to structure the operations which lead to the development of tourism services. In terms of
services tourism industry one of the fastest growing sectors that contribute their efforts in order
to make the journey of traveller desirable (Torres-Delgado and Saarinen, 2014). Like, travel
agent gives personalised experience where they address the queries of traveller and get the work
done in behave of customers such as booking of tickets which immensely offers convenience to
people.
TASK 4
Covered in PPT
CONCLUSION
From the above report it has been analysed that it is the responsibility of travel agent as
well as Tourism Company to understand the requirement of national and international traveller in
terms to accommodate their need. Adequate sustainable strategies need to be used in order to
preserve nature as well as animal wildlife. Analysis of external market like environment and
social factor needs to be analysed to mitigate the chances of risk. Along with that there are
certain principles of development that needs to be followed by company to conduct sustainable
performance and maintain well being. Further, efforts are made to manage relationship with
internal and external stakeholders as they immensely contribute to gain long term sustainable
development effectively.
