Question 1 1. Tourists have many choices for the mode of travel to use on vacation. Name one type of travel for each of the different modes of transportation (air, land, water) and two reasons a tourist might choose each type of travel. (9 points) Land Land is the most common mode of tourism travel as they go along with their vacation. Under land, tourist can use railroads or rent vehicles or use taxis. Tourists might choose rail because it is cost-effective, eco-friendly than other transportation modes and because it is reliable. Tourists can also use vehicles because of its speed and ease of maneuvering around busy streets and regions as they travel (Westcott & Anderson, 2015). Air This is the fastest mode of transport available and under its tourists can use airplanes and helicopters during their vacation. The reason to use airplanes is because it’s a very fast way of travelling especially over long distances and they can go to any place in the world. Water Water travel is considered as the slowest method of transportation and among the many ways to travel by water, using ferries is one of the most preferred methods of inland water travel. Among the reasons why tourists use and prefer ferries is because they offer more entertainment and have more than one destination to explore. When inland cruising, tourists can see different sites along the way and taste the amazing foods that are offered on-board (Westcott & Anderson, 2015). Question 2

2. List the three types of tourism development and provide three characteristics of each. (9 points) Budget hotels  They have a standardized appearance  Offer basic services with limited food and beverages.  All services such as breakfast, room and internet access are charged on a per night basis Resorts  It offers a wide range of recreational facilities.  Generally, have a signature amenity or attraction.  Are placed in retreat style environments where they offer secondary experiences. Boutique hotels  They have less than 100 rooms.  They have an intimate and easily identifiable theme such as quirky, luxurious, classic, or funky (Westcott & Anderson, 2015).  They have a distinctive design style and on-site food. 3. The life cycle of a tourism destination area is crucial to its development success. Define the stages of Butler’s Tourism Area Life Cycle Model and use a specific example which identifies the destination at each of the stages. (14 points) Butler proposed that each tourism site develops through a common set of stages: exploration, involvement, development, consolidation, stagnation and decline or rejuvenation, even though site visitor counts, and specific sustainability years may differ from site to site. a change in the taper or drop. According to Butler's concept, the resources that

help a location attract tourists are limited and will eventually run out. A tourist destination is not something that existing in the mind; it is always a tourist destination. Butler is the constant changing, and ultimately the original reason why a location becomes a desirable tourist destination, as it needs to be revitalized or addressed head-on. Butler's concept combines mentions of resource preservation and sustainability, extending life and keeping the place a desirable tourist attraction. Additionally, it implies the need for greater collaboration and integration between local communities and the tourism sector to better safeguard them against potential exploitation and emancipation ( Piuchan, 2018) . We will explain this concept using the Bay of Fundy as an attraction but it would face the following stages. Exploration Stage In this scenario the bay of Fundy is new and unknown. The investigation stage starts. There is little travel to this place. Benefits to society and the economy are modest. A tourist destination could emphasize culture or nature. Governments and locals can now begin to consider tourism and how to take advantage of and maximize the prospects in this sector. The tourism planning process has just started here. Involvement stage The development of tourism begins with the involvement phase. There may be a rise in interest from foreign investors in the project ( Piuchan, 2018) . There may be pressure on the government to build transportation infrastructure and community resources like hospitals, roads, and airports. Stages of engagement might signal the beginning of seasonality in tourism. Development Stage Many items are constructed and planned during the development period. You can construct new highways, railroads, and airports. There may be the birth of a brand-new

tourist destination. Hotels and catering amenities are located there. During the development stage, destination marketing and promotion may expand. There might be increased publicity in the media and on social media ( Piuchan, 2018) . The number of tourists may exceed that of residents during this time. Local controls are dwindling, and international organizations and top-down procedures are starting to have a big impact on tourism administration. Consolidation Stage The phase of consolidation will see a slowdown in tourism growth. This might or might not be done on purpose to restrict the number of visitors or keep tourism-related goods and services exclusive. are linked together. Destinations in some cases now depend on tourism as their main or main source of income. The global chains and conglomerates are anticipated to be numerous in the tourism industry. Because of economic leakage, this is considered globalization and may have a negative impact on destination economies. During this stage, local complaints could surface. One of the detrimental effects of tourism on society is this. Stagnation Stage A period of stagnation heralds the start of a tourism industry decline. Visitors may peak around this time, and various capacities might be reached. The objective is to increase one's attractiveness or fashion sense. No. At this point, over tourism’s detrimental impacts start to become apparent. Economic, environmental, and societal repercussions are most likely. Rejuvenation or Decline The Butler Tourism Area Lifecycle Model's final stage offers a variety of potential outcomes for locations along a spectrum from regeneration to decline. And it depends on what you do. You can completely rejuvenate yourself with a substantial renovation ( Piuchan,

2018) . It's possible that target audiences will shift, new attractions will be introduced, or sustainable tourism strategies will be embraced. With a few little adjustments and enhancements to the overall infrastructure and resources for tourism, a moderate rejuvenation can be accomplished. The steady decline of tourism might continue if nothing is done. Tourist offers might soon diminish in hard times. This may be the result of dramatic occurrences like war, calamities, or pandemics.
