I have attached Pt. 1
Purpose:
The purpose of your destination case study is to encourage research and analysis of a chosen tourism destination and apply tourism theories and concepts to a current, real-world context. Part 2 focuses on examining the broader tourism system within which this destination is situated and the effect of the broader macro environment, how tourism has developed within this destination over time, community responses to tourism development within this destination, and any associated issues and impacts associated with tourism development.
Skills/knowledge:
Part 2 of your destination case study analysis will help you develop and practice the following skills:
-Undertake detailed research and analysis of a tourism destination
-Identify relevant and credible information to apply to your destination analysis
-Apply tourism theories and concepts to a real-world context
-Use quantitative and qualitative data as evidence to support your analysis of the tourism system, tourism development over time, community responses to tourism development, and issues and impacts associated with tourism development within your chosen destination
Task:
To complete Part 2 of your destination case study analysis, you need to do the following:
Recognize that Part 2 is a continuation of Part 1, and so Part 1 also needs to be included (and updated) in your final submission. In particular, remember to update the table of contents and introduction, and address the feedback provided from Part 1.
In addition to including Part 1, you need to provide an examination and discussion of the tourism system within which this destination is located and the effect of the broader macroenvironment. The focus is on explaining and demonstrating how the tourism industry in your chosen destination is part of a broader tourism system that is in turn affected by macro-environmental factors.
-A starting point of consideration how have broader macro-environmental factors affected tourism development in you destination? eg. things like COVID-19, the economic recession, increased travel accessibility through low-cost airlines, ageing Baby Boomers, etc. Be specific in your explanation and application to your chosen destination.
-Discuss and explain how tourism has developed within this destination over time. In particular apply either or Butlers (1980) tourist area lifecycle evolution and/or the concept of evolutionary economic geography to describe how tourism has developed in your chosen destination over time. If you are applying Butler (1980), make sure to identify changes in demand and supply as the destination has moved through the different stages. If you are applying the concept of evolutionary economic geography, make sure to discuss the concepts of path dependence, new path creation, the role and important of networks and knowledge diffusion, and key tourism stakeholders in shaping tourism development.
Analyze community responses to tourism development in your chosen destination over time.Choose a tourism development model (the one you deem most relevant to the situation within your destination) and use it as the basis for examining how the community has responded to tourism development over the years. While formal reports and plans often provide insight into community attitudes and responses to tourism development, newspaper articles that cover community events, protests, or even city council meetings, can provide further evidence as to how a community feels about tourism.
-Any issues and impacts that have resulted from tourism development within your chosen destination also needs to be discussed and analyzed. Here you need to discuss both positive and negative economic, technological, and socio-cultural impacts specific to your destination that have been a result of tourism development. g. increased jobs for local residents, implementation of a free transit system, introduction of free wifi, increased congestion and crowding, growing inequity, etc. Provide examples specific to your chosen destination.
-To complete your destination case study analysis, provide a conclusion that summarizes the main points made from the analysis, and also make sure to update your reference list and appendix (if you have one). Finally, you need to incorporate an executive summary at the very beginning of your analysis. This goes after your title page, but before your table of contents. An executive summary is very important as it is typically the first thing that managers, investors, etc. read. It is a summary of ALL key findings from your analysis. Explanation and justification does not need to be provided for your findings (thats all provided in each of the detailed sections), but the idea is that a manager should be able to read just the executive summary and know what the key findings and analysis are. This is very different to an introduction, which simply introduces what is to come. g. An introduction typically follows this kind of format: In this analysis of x, an overview of the destination is provided, along with a detailed examination of the tourist experience provided and the types of tourist that the destination attracts. This is followed by.
In contrast, an executive summary will be more like as follows: This detailed analysis of mountain resort community of Steamboat Springs in Colorado highlights the important role that the ski resort plays for winter tourism, while the local community and downtown center, along with the surrounding natural environment are key attractors in the summertime. Tourists in the winter typically hail from Texas and other southern states, whether second-home owners or families, with the key focus being skiing and snowboarding, while in the summertime road-tripping families who are looking to partake in a range of events, outdoor activities, and shopping and dining are the key market.
Criteria for success:
Your report needs to be supported by academic literature, and other relevant and credible sources. In particular, make sure that any claims you make about the destination are supported with relevant and credible evidence.
This report should be written and presented in a professional manner. You ae required to use headings and sub-headings to clearly separate each of the different sections. Make sure to include a title page, executive summary, table of contents, and also a reference list and appendix (if required). Appendices are used to include additional supporting information anything that is central to your discussion needs to be included in the body of the report. Use appropriate language and style writing in the first person should be avoided.
The entire report with Part 1 included should be 20-25 pages. Times New Roman size 12 font, double-spaced
