Stages of Destination Development
![Page 4: SUSTAINABLE TOURISM DEVELOPMENT](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54b9dd944a79596d7c8b4571/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Stage 1: Discovery
• The stage of exploration
• A destination begins as a relatively unknown place and visitors initially come in small numbers restricted by lack of access, facilities, and local knowledge
![Page 5: SUSTAINABLE TOURISM DEVELOPMENT](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54b9dd944a79596d7c8b4571/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Stage 1: Discovery
Boracay during 1970s

Stage 2: Development
• The stage of growth
• As more people discover the destination, the word spreads about its attractions and the amenities are increased and improved

Stage 3: Stagnation
• The stage of maturity
• Tourist arrivals then begin to grow rapidly toward some theoretical carrying capacity which involves social and environmental limits.
• Often happens rapidly.

Stage 4: Decline
• Possible trajectory of a destination after the stage of stagnation
• The stage of saturation and alienation• Increased congestion and unsustainable
development caused the resources that originally drew visitors to the destination to become corrupted, or no longer exist.
• The destination has become saturated• The appeal of the destination has disappeared
and the tourists now look for unaltered destination

Stage 4: Rejuvenation
• Possible trajectory of a destination after the stage of stagnation
• Technological developments or infrastructure improvements leading to increased carrying capacity can help rejuvenate a destination.

Resources for Developing Tourism
• Resources can be divided into 4 categories:– Capital– Labor– Materials– Knowledge
• In tourism, materials include natural and human-made assets.

Why Do We Need Sustainable Planning?
• Resources are scarce and finite.• Society must choose among economic
activities including tourism that could have higher returns to scale.
• Provided that tourism increases economic diversion, then resources can be allocated in developing it.
![Page 16: SUSTAINABLE TOURISM DEVELOPMENT](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54b9dd944a79596d7c8b4571/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
What is Sustainable Development?
Sustainable development is progress that meets the needs of the present without compromising
the ability of the future to meet their own needs (UN WCED, 1987).
![Page 17: SUSTAINABLE TOURISM DEVELOPMENT](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54b9dd944a79596d7c8b4571/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
In tourism, sustainability means…
• Achieving quality growth in a manner that does not deplete the natural and built-in environment and preserves the culture, history and heritage of local community.
• Achieving balance between number of visitors and the capacity of the given environment
• Greatest interaction and enjoyment with the least destruction.
![Page 18: SUSTAINABLE TOURISM DEVELOPMENT](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54b9dd944a79596d7c8b4571/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Carrying Capacity
• The largest number of people a destination can efficiently manage within its given environ and management capabilities
![Page 19: SUSTAINABLE TOURISM DEVELOPMENT](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54b9dd944a79596d7c8b4571/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Issues to be considered:
• Natural and man-made cultural and environmental resources comprising tourism product are conserved and renewed when necessary.– For the benefit of succeeding
generations.– Tourists not only consume the
tourism product, they should be made aware of the need to protect it.
![Page 20: SUSTAINABLE TOURISM DEVELOPMENT](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54b9dd944a79596d7c8b4571/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Issues to be considered:
• Tourism must be beneficial for the receiving destination, region and country.– For the receiving destination to be
prepared to accommodate tourists and hospitality be extended when tourists overstayed.
![Page 21: SUSTAINABLE TOURISM DEVELOPMENT](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54b9dd944a79596d7c8b4571/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Issues to be considered:
• Maintaining and renewing the tourism product is critical.– To sustain steady tourist flow– To ensure tourist satisfaction– Sometimes, this means limiting
tourists flows
![Page 22: SUSTAINABLE TOURISM DEVELOPMENT](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54b9dd944a79596d7c8b4571/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Issues to be considered:
• Benefits and costs must be politically acceptable for the governing entities at national, regional and destination levels.

High Quality Attractions
• Attractions draw visitors
• Offers experiences that visitors want and need
• The goal of sustainable tourism development is the preservation of the attractions so that future generations can enjoy them
![Page 25: SUSTAINABLE TOURISM DEVELOPMENT](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54b9dd944a79596d7c8b4571/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Attributes of Attractions
• Natural or human made
• Fixed or mobile
• New or ancient
• Large or small
• Temporary or permanent
• Maybe designed for some type of human activity
• Unique
![Page 26: SUSTAINABLE TOURISM DEVELOPMENT](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54b9dd944a79596d7c8b4571/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Key Players
• Private Sector– Owns and operates profit making
tourist attractions and facilities
• Government Sector– Owns and operates public facilities
and attractions– Establishes regulatory guidelines
• NGOs
![Page 27: SUSTAINABLE TOURISM DEVELOPMENT](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54b9dd944a79596d7c8b4571/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Tourism Infrastructure
The sum total of basic facilities, equipment and installations needed for a functioning tourism industry.
• Tourist Facilities• Transportation System• Utilities• Health Facilities• Cultural and recreational infrastructures
![Page 28: SUSTAINABLE TOURISM DEVELOPMENT](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54b9dd944a79596d7c8b4571/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Tourism Infrastructures
• Infrastructures may be owned privately• Maybe operated for profit or non profit• Infrastructures serve tourists as well as local
population• Regardless of who builds and operates them,
infrastructures must be carefully planned and executed.
• Infrastructures must serve higher goals of the nation, region and destination.
• Public opinions must be heard and political systems must be employed in evaluating the merits of proposed tourism projects.
![Page 29: SUSTAINABLE TOURISM DEVELOPMENT](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54b9dd944a79596d7c8b4571/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Mistakes are made when single purpose
tourism infrastructures are narrowly
conceived and rushed.
Feasibility and market studies are required to evaluate the financial realism and the
environmental, social and economic impacts of tourism development.

Community Support and Tolerance
• Cultural harmony is an important issue in sustainable tourism development.
• Cultural diffusion is the process of spreading individual cultural traits from their source to other areas.
• Tourism is a means of transmitting culture.

![Page 32: SUSTAINABLE TOURISM DEVELOPMENT](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54b9dd944a79596d7c8b4571/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Community Support and Tolerance
• Harmony between traditional and foreign cultures must be established through demonstration and communication– Mutual respect can be gained– Acceptance of tourism and cultural
changes can be achieved
![Page 33: SUSTAINABLE TOURISM DEVELOPMENT](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54b9dd944a79596d7c8b4571/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Government Assistance
• National level– Initiates tourism development
• Regional level & local level– Strategy is broken down into
components– Assigned to different agencies for
implementation
![Page 34: SUSTAINABLE TOURISM DEVELOPMENT](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54b9dd944a79596d7c8b4571/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
