destinations are as given below:
Characteristics France Egypt

long hot summers and cools. So it is
the the favourable climate for

railways and waterways network
(Ransley and Ingram, 2012). The

fashionable tourist destination
where shopping is the utmost
priority. French shops are low in the
prices as compared to the other
Europe destination. The shopping
times of France is from 9 am to 7

Here, people gets attracted towards

3.2 Evaluate the characteristics of a tourist destination which affect its appeal
Burma is chosen as the tourist destination which assists in affects its appeal and attracting
large number of tourists to the chosen place. Burma has been known as by its other name and it
is Myanmar. The culture of Myanmar has been extensively influenced by Buddhism and Mon
people (Lin and Juan, 2010). British colonial and westernisation have influenced the culture,
language and education of the Burmese people. The country is comprises of various
characteristics which attracts large number of tourists and they are its arts, literature, folk dance

are well oriented which affects its appeal in the better way. The manners among the Burmese
people by which their talks to other people attracts many people to visit the places and to know
more about its Burmese culture. The main attractions of Burma is of their cuisine which attracts
many food lovers to the place (Bharwani and Butt, 2012). Furthermore, Burmese cuisine has

the place which attracts many tourists as well as affect its appeal. The other attractions includes
food customs at ceremonial occasions in which feasting and sharing food are the one of the
important feature of traditional agriculture and religious sites. However, there are some social
problems and control in the Burma which can affect its appeal in the mindsets of the customers.
On the contradictory, there are some holy places and monuments which are attracting the cultural
lover tourists to Burma. Here, in Burma, women are given high status in the traditional society

major part of the religion practised by the Burmese people is Buddhism and the country is better

known as the Buddhist country (Keller, Parameswaran and Jacob, 2011). The characteristics
which attracts many of the people to see the Burmese culture is its religious sites. The country is

traditional festivals and sports are also one of the major attractions which attracts tourists to
Burma.
TASK 4

tourists from visiting the place. The different issues are follows:

visitors (Maskus, Neumann and Seidel, 2012).

popularity of the tourist destination (Travel and Tourism impact, 2015). For example,
Japan is the destination where volcanoes erupt any times or the earthquakes which affects
the tourists to visit less to the country because the attractions doesn't play the key role in
attracting the tourists.

the appeal of the place. In this, the visa processing like facilities can't go smooth and
takes time (Noone, McGuire and Rohlfs, 2011). Whereas, people thinks to avoid this type
of disadvantages in their travelling. The regulatory framework of TUI of any type which
affects the aspects tourism , visitors try to avoid it.
 Terrorism: This is also one of the aspect which is reducing the tourists to visit the
particular country because they can attack any time. People doesn't want to harm their life

ones and friends for the destination. Through this, the demand of the destination will can
12

go high if they are suggested by their inner circle (Ransley and Ingram, 2012). If not

because there various people with different mindsets and
