Part Four: Tourism Supply, Demand Policy, Planning, and Development Formula to Calculate Number of Hotel Rooms Required R = T x P x L S x N where T = number of tourists P = percentage staying in hotels N = total number of guest nights/number of guests R = room demand per nights/number O = hotel occupancy used for estimating; divide number of rooms needed at 100% occupancy by estimated occupancy S = number of days per year in business L = average length of stay Example T = 1,560,000 visitors P = 98% L = 9 days N = 1.69 0 = 70 % S = 365 days  R = 1,560,000 x .98 x 9 365 x 1.69 R = 22,306 (rooms needed at 100% occupancy) at 70 % occupancy need R = 22,306/.70 = 31,866 rooms Chapter 12: Tourism Components and Supply

Learn the political and economic aspects of development including those related to developing countries. Appreciate the importance of architectural design and concern for heritage preservation, local handicrafts, and use of indigenous materials in creating tourist facilities.

96 Relating Tourism Planning to Tourism Policy
Part Four: Tourism Supply, Demand Policy, Planning, and Development Relating Tourism Planning to Tourism Policy SIMILARITIES 1. They both deal with the future development of a tourism destination or region; 2. They both emphasize the strategic dimensions of managerial action – although planning must also address a number of tactical concerns. DIFFERENCES 1. Policy formulation is definitely very “big picture” while much of planning is characterized by an attention to detail; 2. Policy formulation is a creative, intellectual process, while planning is generally a more constrained exercise; 3. Policy, and particularly its visioning component, has a very long-term strategic emphasis, while planning tends to be more restrictive in its time horizon. A one-year planning cycle is not uncommon, although 3-5 year plans are a possibility. In contrast, destination visions may have a 5, 10, 50, or even a 100 year time horizon; 4. Policy formulation must allow for as yet unseen circumstances and technologies to be considered. In contrast, planning tends to assume current conditions and technologies, with some allowances for predictable, or evolutionary change; 5. Policy formulation tends to emphasize a systematic determination of “WHAT” should be done in long-term tourism development, while planning tends to emphasize the “HOW” for the achievement of specific destination goals.

Part Four: Tourism Supply, Demand Policy, Planning, and Development WTTC ~ Implications of Resource Depletion ~ Political instability or increased competition for land could lead to loss of potential new tourism destinations and degradation of existing destinations. Loss of landscape and wildlife could cause a decrease in customer satisfaction with tourism products and hence lower propensity to travel to some destinations. Higher fuel prices could lead to operational price increases and corresponding decreases in the number of travelers in this price-sensitive market.” Chapter 17: Tourism and the Environment
