Assignment should be in an essay-style format (3500 words)
Choose a tourist destination (only one destination and one you did not use for your original submission) which is potentially fragile both in terms of culture and environment. Look at the potential socio-cultural issues and impacts of tourism on the host destination. Analyse and critically evaluate the challenges of the socio-cultural and environmental issues. Suggest positive strategies which could be employed to ensure more sustainable tourism.
Note: Choose only one tourism destination which must be different from the one you selected for your original submission.
PREPARATION FOR THE ASSESSMENT
Where possible, your case study should include:
▪ A brief summary of the socio-cultural and environmental issues. Summarize the location and the society and culture and explain and justify why it has been chosen,
▪ A brief overview of past and current tourism in this region and host perceptions of tourism development in the region.
▪ Analyse the main socio-cultural issues and impacts associated with tourism and other threats to this region.
▪ Critically evaluate these impacts, issues and threats to the hosts’ culture and destination.
▪ Discuss and evaluate major challenges for the future and the implications of further tourism development
▪ Consider existing and potential sustainable strategies to minimise the impacts and issues and provide and evaluate recommendations to reduce negative impacts and support the positive development of tourism.
▪ You should use the conceptual ideas discussed in the lectures so far as the basis for your answer, however, you must also draw on examples and/or case studies from the academic literature. In order to identify literature which is relevant to your chosen question, refer both to the readings which accompany each lecture and to the module reading list (see the reading MIP).
