Total: 6 points
Part 1: Article Review
Instructions: choose 1 reading from this week and use it to complete the following questions.
1.
Authors name and title of the reading (/0.25 point):
Nadia Tendian & Martina Valenzuela (2021)
Title of the reading: A recipe of Disaster Planned Tourism Development in Mexico
2.
What is the purpose of reading (e.g., what is the main idea the author(s) are trying to convey? The author seeks to highlight how the shortcomings of Planned Tourism Development have adversely affected Cancun, offering readers a thorough examination of the destination's challenges. The intention is to convey a message that encourages the development of a more effective tourism plan, emphasizing the need for strategic improvements considering Cancun's experiences.
3.
What is this reading about?) 2-3 sentences maximum (/1 point):
The reading explores the social, environmental, and economic impacts of tourism development in
Cancun. Despite the intended goals of promoting economic growth, creating jobs, and improving infrastructure, the implementation of planned tourism development in Cancun has resulted in adverse effects (Tendian & Valenzuela, 2021). These include the threat to small local businesses posed by all-inclusive resorts, unregulated waste and sewage management, and the emergence of social inequities.
4.
Key terms from the reading (list and define at least 3. /1.5 points):
I.
Planned Tourism Development According to Tendian & Valenzuela (2021), Planned Tourism Development is when the government plans and develops an area to boost its economy (p.3)
II.
All-inclusive Resort
Tendian & Valenzuela (2021) emphasize the all-inclusive Resort as a type of hotel where guests acquire a prepaid package covering the expenses of the hotel room, meals, beverages, and activities for the duration of their stay (p.8).
III.
Social inequity According to Tendian & Valenzuela (2021), social inequality is evident in Cancun, characterized by a noticeable contrast between individuals living in upscale residential complexes and those living in regions marked by significant marginalization (p.9).
5.
Identify your favorite quote, or a quote that stood out to you, from the readings and explain why you chose this quote. Include an APA citation with a page number along with your quote (/0.5 point):
According to Tendian & Valenzuela (2021), Planned Tourism Development's disclosure shows the government's preference for economic gain over its citizens' lives, signaling a call for change to prioritize the well-being of the people and the environment (p.14). Immersing myself in this quote, I acknowledge the double-edged sword consequences inherent in executing development plans, particularly within the realm of tourism. Stakeholders must fortify not just environmental management but also address social and economic implications. Recognizing these impacts is crucial for cultivating a more sustainable approach to tourism.
6.
Identify one thing from the reading that was unclear, or one thing you would like to know more about, 1-2 sentences maximum (/0.5 point):
I have gained insights into the effect of all-inclusive resorts on small businesses in the region, leading to an economic burden. I'm eager to understand how the government could improve the situation.
Part 2: Short Answer
Instructions: complete the following questions.
7.
Identify one way that this week’s course content stood out to you (e.g., how does this reading relate to who you are, what you do now, you want to do in the future, what you care about, what interests you) 2-3 sentences maximum (/0.5 point):
The reading provides me with insights into the significance of strategically planning tourism in destinations. As being aspiring to work in the hotel industry in the future, I am keen on delving deeper into sustainable tourism practices, aiming to easily adapt to new methods in hotel or
accommodation management.
8.
Choose 1 destination anywhere in the world. Then identify what one stage of Butler’s Destination Life Cycle model (see Andriotis: 2001) this destination is currently at, using 4 key characteristics to explain (e.g., the amount of tourists, facilities, contact, change, control, or tourist type) (/1point):
According to Lee, Y., & Weaver, D. (2014), Kim Yujeong Literary Village (KYLV) in South Korea's Kangwon province, the hometown of novelist Kim Yujeong, is recognized for its depiction of 1930s rural life. The government sees potential in literary tourism for economic development, and
KYLV benefits from its proximity to greater Seoul and Chunchon City (Lee, Y., & Weaver, D.,2014). The "involvement" anomaly in KYLV, South Korea, has existed since 1938, featuring extensive contact between visitors and locals, with 70% of residents having contact with tourists in 2007 (Lee, Y., & Weaver, D.,2014). According to Lee, Y., & Weaver, D (2014), early visitors depended on locals for guidance to literary sites, and this trend endures despite improved signage, with additional "involvement" indicators arising irregularly from the late 1960s to the late 1990s and persisting to the present. Advertising for memorial events, initiated in 1969 and persisting, along with an annual writing contest since 1993 that draws 400 students, supported by
the "Kang-won daily News" company, has effectively promoted KYLV, leading to regular and increased visitation (Lee, Y., & Weaver, D.,2014).
