infrastructure solutions, Faster project completion, cost reduction, sharing of risk, improving of
Service Levels, profit maximization and many more. Some advantages are illustrated below:
Better infrastructure solutions: This partnership, leads to merge their best activities and
operations, for getting optimum output form them. Thus, its very essential and efficient to
coordinate and combine activities of both sectors of tourism. Although it helps in building and

competition,complexity of project as well as scope of project.
Less number of private participants: This is disadvantage of this partnership, as there
is few participants from private sector which leads arise issue cost effectiveness for government
Egypt. Thus its do not have any cost competition among private firms and governments form
reduces chance to bargain. Although, if expertise are more form side of private sector, then
government sector has to bears huge losses, form this and then private sector participant will
have power which will help them in deciding cost of project (Valéro, 2015).

3.2 Analyse factors that may prevent/hinder sustainable tourism development with reference to
Egypt
There are different kinds diverse explores and destination to visit places. Everyone have
several expectation from travelling to numerous countries. There are basically two types of factor
which stop voyager for travelling are:
Recession: Cost is the major factor due to recession there has been a slow down in
tourism sector which lead to economy crises in Egypt. Domestic travel also become limited due
hike in the price of gasoline and low economy. Travelling expense increased to due recession
and people prefer to not travelled abroad due to sudden hike in price.
Weather: It is a major factor for traveller to choose destination and also decide weather
to travel or not. The temperature in Egypt is warm and reaches around 40 degree which can be
not suitable for some travellers. So people chose to travel when temperature is low or in winter.
This hamper the business of local people and decrease progress of tourism industry.
Service and facilities: The expectation of travels are high regarding the service and
facilities provide by tourism industry. Most of the people seeks for adventure so in this case if

planning is essential part, which is also required in travel and tourism due to various factors that

TASK-4
4.1 Analyse several techniques of solving conflict of interests to maintain future workings of a
developing tourism city or country.
This industry is very huge and special relative issues which help in maintaining
sustainability but has within conflicts of interests which can maintain and secure future. As a
junior consultant at international tourism consultancy an management report for Egypt based on
several techniques to solve issues raised within(Buultjens, Ratnayake and Gnanapala, 2016).
Egypt tourism can use the following to resolve conflict of interest:
 Territorial dominion tourism: This technique helps in dominating market by approaching
conquering tourists. The only hindrance in such approach is rules and legislative laws
because of which this cannot be implemented in whole market. This will best benefit
stakeholder who can approach democratic parties of country to imply such methods on
democratic levels.
 Discrimination: This factor is a big issues everywhere, it can create several issues such as
disputes on internal and external levels and it can break any organisation. To resolve this
one shall implement rules and guidelines which will help in avoiding confusions or
misunderstandings which leads to all such disputes Through this no employee or member
will be treated ill and feel discriminated.
 Exhibition disputes: Issues within stakeholders is linked directly to behavioural changes
in this sector which creates conflicts of interests among them and leads to huge
disagreement in terms. Since every persons approach to lead market is different plus
executing approach also varies person to person(Fletcher, Pforr and Brueckner,
2016).This can only be resolved after an proper communication approach is created
which will decrease issues in tourism. It will be recorded and most workable approach
will be implemented for best results.
 Nationalization: Sometime there is no particular conflict but issues arise due to culture
difference of two people. The country Egypt has single religion to follow but their ethics
and culture differ. To nullify this one shall promote a neutral approach which shall not
affect any culture.
