Tourism and Destination Management

In “The Ugly Tourist” by Jamaica Kincaid, tourism is thought as a disgusting and an extremely harmful industry. In her perspective, it allows first world citizens to escape and marvel at the simplest and most ordinary things. Although there is some truth in what Jamaica Kincaid describes to the reader, I believe there is a prejudiced view towards the tourist themselves. Kincaid’s essay about the ugliness and affects of being a tourist contrasts everything I’ve experienced being a tourist in Italy and Greece.

Many things will affect people’s decision to travel, the destinations they choose and for how long they stay. Different destinations are affected by different factors, here we will explore these factors and the destinations they effect.

There are many rhetorical tools used in advertising today to grab the readers’ attention. Some of those include, but are not limited to, color, sex, surroundings, and fantasy. All of these tools are used in the advertisement of the MGM Grand that I chose to analyze. MGM Grand has chosen several techniques to help market themselves better to vacationers. It uses visual pictures, inviting colors, and an enticing choice of narrative as its strategy. One of the many things that Vegas has to offer is the chance to get rid of all of your inhibitions and just have fun. Also, the fact that Las Vegas is famous for the saying, “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas”, sends a message to vacationers

If you find yourself in a disaster, helping others is most likely not your first thought. The more rational look for a way to make it safely, worrying about themselves first, and others second. In the Novel Hiroshima by John Hersey even though many of the main characters are hurt, run to assist others. These people who were in the thick of it lacked any real reason to help others, yet they still made the effort to try. The disaster that befell Hiroshima was an atrocity, however, it did bring the community closer. Compassion in all forms enthralls those who have nothing to gain to help others, regardless of the repercussions or sacrifices.

People’s impression of traveling may be affected by their presumptions of their destination. For example, many people swarm to ‘tourist traps’ on their trips. While many of these attractions are interesting and beautiful, they aren’t very appealing to visit with thousands of other tourists. For instance, visiting Niagara Falls is a major tourist attraction. People may see impressive pictures of the falls and decide they want to go there. Once they arrive, they realize that there are people everywhere. As a result, it can be hard to get a good view of the falls. Some may realize Niagara Falls is not all that it’s hyped up to be. Others are thrilled that they got to visit the impressive phenomenon. It all depends on the expectations one has about it. If they were expecting to get jaw-dropping views and few people, they may be disappointed. But, they may

Having to research each party, I found out that Republicans and Democrats are way farther apart than at any point in history. Each party such as the Republicans and Democrats express their point of view by giving negative views of the opposite party. The republicans want to end slavery for good making their symbol as an elephant. The Democrats were people who support slavery and disagree with it as well. The democrats have the donkey as a symbol, symbolizing “let the people rule”. Looking at the graph, the Democrat Party has jumped from 17% to 43% in the last 20 years. The Republican Party has also gained more people jumping from 16% to 38%.

You should develop information provided in P1. You need to consider why these links exist and why relationships are formed, explaining how they affect the organisations concerned. E.g.

Throughout history, the progressions of mankind has given way to a perpetually globalizing world. Globalization, the “process of interaction and integration among peoples of different nations, has strengthened human ties while our race has formed societies in every corner of the globe. As our world becomes more interconnected, the resulting blend of cultures has led numerous societal features to be shared between peoples, blurring cultural division lines. Globalization’s tying binds may frustrate many modern travelers seeking unique and special travel experiences due to the standardization of destinations resulting from increasingly cozy international social relations, but continued and extensive human travel has demonstrated that the essential human urge to move is a product of our search for fulfillment in what is unfamiliar and will not be suppressed by global interconnection.

The Chevrolet Cruze is a compact car, released in 2011 in North America, two years after its debut elsewhere. This model replaced the Chevrolet Cobalt, itself a replacement model for the Chevy Cavalier. Although its arrival to the market was delayed, the all-new 2016 Cruze may be GM’s best compact car ever. To that end, we’ll take a look at the important “numbers” defining this model.

“… The pleasure we derive from journeys is perhaps dependent more on the mindset with which we travel than on the destination we travel to. If only we could apply a traveling mindset to our own locals, we might find places becoming no less interesting than the high mountain passes and butterfly-filled jungles...” (Alain de Botton 62) In the essay “On Habit”, Alain de Button observes that people have become accustomed to only viewing a new environment as a spectacular view and thrilling experience, rather than treating our own towns, which we see everyday, with the same humility and receptivity.

As mentioned by Rimmington & Morrison (2009), the assistance from different parts of the world presents a new and diverse outlook for future research including theoretical innovations and revelations, cultural and environmental aspects, tourist destination and other ecotourism and recreational aspects of tourism and hospitality industry (Brotherton,

Tourism has taken a toll on many Native Hawaiians and is a huge human rights issue today. Most Hawaiians dislike tourism greatly due to the selfishness and greediness tourists bring to their home country. The pastor at a small rural church on the island of Kauai, Reverend Kaleo Patterson, has witnessed and dealt with numerous Hawaiians who struggle with the issues of tourism. Numerous vacation resorts that attract tourists have taken over gravesites of Hawaiians that have passed away. Due to this problem ancient Hawaiians have to partake in reburials. Tourism causes destruction to coral reefs and rivers because of mindless pollution. Reverend Patterson has protested and given public hearings in effort to acknowledge her fury on tourism. Tourism has brought an uncontrollable worldwide business that has no sympathy or thoughtfulness for the original people of Hawaii.

The Travel and Tourism industry is still one of the largest single businesses in world commerce and its importance is widely recognized. The tourism industry is now one of the largest sectors earning foreign exchange. In the face of many benefits, many countries have started assigning due weight age to the tourism industry in their national development agenda. Tourism is an industry that operates on a massively broad scale: it embraces activities ranging from the smallest sea-side hotel; to air-lines, multi-national hotel chains and major international tour operators. Originally, non-traditional industries such as tourism emerged as a solution to strike a balance between ecology and industry

The themes of the text are tourism, travel, and luxury. These themes are all inevitable when it comes to advertising a country. However this text is very much different. The

Planning and development are both extremely important factors within the tourism industry and can have both positive and negative effects on the environment, local communities and tourist destinations. “Destination planning aims to limit the negative impacts of cultural tourism upon the history and lifestyles of the local community. An understanding of sustainable tourist development allows for the development of culture without loss of its authentic identity” (Maidment. T. 2012). This statement discusses the importance of planning to avoid having any negative impacts on environments and communities. Because the effects of tourism are so severe to destinations, many natural and cultural resources have been destroyed, therefore tourism planning is vital to preserve and maintain these places for future generations.
