The global growth of tourism has seen the exploitation of a range of different environments for holiday makers. Effective management strategies are the key to the continuing prosperity of tourist areas in the UK. Mass tourism has advantages for an area but strategies need to be in place to reduce the likelihood of long-term damage. Extreme environments are susceptible to environmental damage from the development of tourism. Sustainability requires the development of ecotourism.

What are the main holiday destinations and why?
Answer the past paper question on your desks “Explain why coastal areas OR cities have developed as a tourist destination” 2. Swap papers and mark each others answers using the mark scheme. What does the mark scheme need you to do to gain more marks? NO LISTS Areas develop due to the attractions and activities that people can do and the things they can experience, HUMAN AND PHYSICAL. EXPLAIN WHY the features are an attraction, to who, and therefore why the area has developed. Link the attraction to activities people can do an why they want to do these activities. This is NOT a question about the development of tourism, it is about the development of specific areas, so it is not about disposable income etc, it is about the attractions of a specific area and why people want to go there. Take your paper back and using your knowledge from the mark scheme do the question again for the other location. Improve your answer and try to gain full marks. I will mark your second attempt.

Ensuring sustainability for the future success of national parks and other tourist resorts
Why do national parks need to be managed for the future? The conservation of wildlife The public to enjoy The local people to have a sustainable life and economic development How do we manage for the future? Building developments that fit in with the traditional housing SO THAT is doesn’t spoil the landscape and stop tourists visiting BUT IT ALSO allows local people to buy property. Farmers struggling to make money: Supermarkets encouraged to stock local produce, farmers DVERSIFY by attracting tourists to activities such as Clay Pigeon Shooting, archery, quad biking and luxury camping WHICH MEANS tourists will be attracted and the farmer will make more money. Seasonal wages/tourism: Winter activities a advertising for the winter. Timeshare developments (people share ownership of property an share out the time they spend there) This encourages people to visit more often and out of season Marketing campaigns to advertise and encourage tourism all year round to ensure. Improve public transport so that more people can get into the national parks/resorts.
