Tourism Development - Elements and Interactions
19 07 2008Hi Guys, to further develop our understanding of how the elements of tourism development interact, I would like you to analyse the daily rags (newspapers).
Go to a reputable New Zealand news site (see the bottom of the post) and look for some articles that directly or indirectly relate to tourism in New Zealand.
Virtually all newspaper articles are based around an event. Think about the implications of this event on the Tourism Development Elements. Decide which element has been modified, and how this might change one or more of the other elements. Set out your thinking like this:
- (Article Headline - hyperlink to real article)
- (Which Elements involved)
- (Explanation of interaction)
For Example
- ‘Unusual unrest’ on Ruapehu
- (Outside Factors –> Regulators–>Tourism Industry)
- Mt Ruapehu is showing signs of increased volcanic activity (Outside factor). This has meant that many regulators have had to work together to monitor the mountain and develop plans for the safety of people using the area, i.e. tourists. Civil Defence, GNS, DOC, Police and local councils have also worked closey with tourism industry to ‘ensure appropriate actions’ in the future.

A storm is set to lash the country in the latter part of this week. This storm (non tourism factor) will negatively effect tourists (tourists and markets) looking to come to NZ as they will not want to travel during bad weather.

Crimes against Asian people
Affects tourism markets from other factors because Asians might not feel safe here because of a racism issue.
Ad campaigns
Affects tourism markets from regulators, because the person organising the ad is from ‘Positively wellington tourism marketing’ which try to entice people to come to wellington. This ad may make people want to come to welly.
Festivals
the bluff oyster fesival affects tourism markets from attractions because it helps make people want to come to a town for the festival.
