some internal factors are included which can impact on the tourism sector of United Kingdom. In
the internal factors includes the economic, cultural, physical and the social. These all internal
factors are given below as above:
Social factors- The local community of United Kingdom country plays a necessary role
for the purpose of attracting large number of visitors. If people of this country will be live
together and they are cooperative with the visitors then in this case it will create the positive
impact in the mind of customers. It is necessary that the people should be helpful towards the
new people which are coming from the different country. At the time of 2nd World War, Scotland
country was very mush conflicted country and from this reason its social and also economic
situations is not enough good and also positive (López-Toro, Díaz-Muñoz and Perez-Moreno,
2010). But with the help of travel and tourism sector, the society is developing. It is very
beneficial for the economic growth rate of country.
Physical factors- This component of the internal factor is helpful in attracting the huge
number of tourists. In this factor involves the basic facilities, good and attractive locations or
destinations, infrastructure etc. The more focus of government of United Kingdom country is to
maintain and also increasing the visitor’s attraction places. It is necessary that the visitors
destination should be clean and also safe because safety of tourists is the fist priority of the
tourism companies. So, in regards to this government spend so much money on keep cleaning
the destination places. The London is the good example of clean and safe destination place in
United Kingdom country (Fernandes, 2011).
Cultural factors- Each and every country has own culture which is shown through the
natural resources. These all the main parts of culture by which country can attract the many
visitors.

In the United Kingdom country, there is many attractive tourist destinations. An
economic components will be various in growing the country. This economic factor pays an
necessary role in developing this sector (Kim, Eves and Scarles, 2013). Its impact can be good
and cab be bad on the productivity of tourism sector. If the economic conditions will be good and
proper then it will be beneficial for business of tourism sector. If in case the whether and climate

develop the negative affect on this sector.

government of this country gives their full support in this and also formulated many legal
systems regarding it (Beritelli, 2011). The difference among developing visitor’s attractions and

With the other different countries, Nepal has a
strong and harmonious relations but the
government of Nepal does not give any kind of
sup[port related to the finance for buying the
advanced and local technology and make

The government and local society is very
supportive because of the natural hazards but
sometimes there is a dissatisfaction regards this
because people mover from one country to the
another for searching the job opportunities. In
Nepal, there is not many job opportunities.
The government and local people of this
country is very much supportive and they also
welcome those people who are coming for the
purpose of visiting.
In Nepal, there are good transportation
facilities but there is on redundancy and that is
advanced technology (Inwood, 2010).
The British country has also the good network
of transportation as comparison to the other
country. It is helpful in maximising the level of
satisfaction of their tourists.
In Nepal, there is mostly the natural destination
places and among all these, some of are
destroyed from the earthquakes and natural
calamities.

made destinations and also the natural places.

TASK 3
3.1 Appeal of current leading tourist destinations with current developing tourist destinations
Virgin Holidays business organisation is the largest and the reputed business organisation
and it has good tour operators. The tourists destinations of United Kingdom is always appeal
more as comparison to the visitors attraction from the growth of United Kingdom. There are
many different factors which are varied from the leading visitors attractions from growing the
different destinations. The good destination always impact good on the economy with the social
perspective. To increasing the attraction of many visiting places, the government of United
Kingdom plays an important role. The tourism and travel sector is based on the various features
of tourists destinations.
The location of destination places can impact on inflow of visitors. The man made
destination places also develop the various appeals. The facilities related to transportation is very
necessary and it can develop the good as well as the negative affect on the business. If Virgin
Holidays will provide the transportation facilities to its guests and also visitors, then in this case
the impact will be good. Transportation can be related to car facilities, buses etc. As comparison
to the developing tourists destinations, leading visitors attraction is better. On the other hand,
culture is the most important factor in the visitors attraction. In addition to it, this element
growing many of the countries are more attractive compared with the developed countries like
for an instance United Kingdom. In every country, culture is different.
There are some more important and also necessary factors and these are lifestyle of
people, cuisine, community etc. These all factors are very helpful in making the tourists
attraction places appealing. It is very essential that the environment should be good and also
pleasant. So, that visitors can travelling with out any problems.
The leading visitors attraction places are more appealing due to the man made
destinations. Those countries which are the leading destinations are more successful in context to
economically and these type of country can spend large funds in growth the man made
destinations.
Like for an example- The Theme park are creating almost 15 billion USD in each year.
But most of the developing countries have not much funds to developing the large number of
theme parks.
