    Firstly, one of the most crucial limitations I had was time. This included time of year but also time available to conduct the investigation. In terms of the time of year, I was limited by the fact the investigation was happening in November. This meant there were not as many tourists that would have been anticipated for the height of the tourist season. It also meant that the demographics were different to what would have been expected. Bowness tends to appeal to younger people and families but our results didn’t reflect this. This was due to the fact that it was during term time so many children will have been in school. It would therefore have probably been more successful to do the investigation during the school holidays as the results would be more accurate of each location as a ‘tourist destination’. Another limitation of time was that we only had half a day to conduct our investigation. This meant that the investigation at some points was rushed, particularly in the Environmental study where the amount of area that need to be studied meant we may have compromised the accuracy. It therefore may have been more appropriate to study a small area of both Bowness and Morecambe in order to improve the reliability. As we only had a day, we spent half a day considering each location; the whole group went to one location then the other. This meant our results were limited as Morecambe was done in the morning, typically a quieter time for tourists, and Bowness…

    Tourism is a type of travel for recreational, leisure and/or business purposes. Tourism is very important and for some countries it is vital. It has become increasingly popular and it has now become a ‘popular global leisure activity’. It is very important that tourism should be managed because if it isn’t it can ruin tourist attractions, scenery and beautiful landscapes. In order for tourism to be managed there needs to be facilities, such as litter bins because if there is litter everywhere people would probably not want to visit again, so therefore with litter bins there would be hardly any litter and people would want to visit again. Also there needs to be other vital facilities such as disabled ramps so everyone can access the place they are visiting’s attractions. The topic that I am working on at the moment is: ‘Strategies to manage tourism are more effective in some areas than others’ and my hypothesis is: ‘Management of visitors is more effective at The Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford upon Avon than at The Herbert Art Gallery & Coventry Cathedral, Coventry’. I visited both of these locations with the school. On Monday 28th May 2012 I visited Stratford and I had several sheets and a map to fill out to express my views on the place I visited. Included in these sheets I had: a Questionnaire (to ask people who live there what their views were of the place I visited), a Map of the place I was visiting (having to fill out what I saw onto the map for example: If I saw a shop I would have a key & add what the key said for ‘Retail’ onto the map, in the right place), a Accessibility Survey and a Bipolar Recording Sheet. We were basically expressing out views on what Stratford was like… On Wednesday 30th May 2012 I visited Coventry and yet again I had several sheets and a map to fill out to express my views on the place I visited.…

    Sustainable tourism is simply sustainable development achieved through tourism. Sustainable development is economic development that takes a long-term view. It balances the benefits of economic development against environmental and social costs. Just as sustainable development assumes continued economic growth, so sustainable tourism assumes continued tourism growth. Sustainable tourism is not a marketing idea to attract new markets - it is a strategic term to describe a specific approach to the development of tourism. Sustainable tourism aims to take all impacts, positive and negative,…

    My name is Lenie de Boer, Leisure Management student at Stenden University, Leeuwarden. For this report, we had to choose an area at the coast of England, where tourism should be developed. For this report I have chosen Scarborough, because the history of the town was very interesting to me. Scarborough, North Yorkshire is a tourist town at the seaside in the North East of the English coastline. It is a town full of history which is going back to the middle ages, you can still see the influence of the Romans and Vikings in this town. Also the first seaside resort of England was built here. Furthermore, Scarborough is the home to number of thriving business, fishing and service industries. In 2008 Scarborough was named the most enterprising town in Britain and even won the 2008/2009 award for the most creative and inspiring entrepreneurship initiative in Europe. Unfortunately, in the 21ste century, personal bankruptcy at the seaside villages of England hit Scarborough. There are low wages and high unemployment.…
