Why has tourism increased?• More holidays• In many developed

countries people can expect to receive a minimum four weeks paid holiday a year.

• Improvements in transport

• It now takes just 24 hours to reach countries on the other side of the world. The more transport networks develop the cheaper travel becomes increasing the chances to go on holiday leading to the growth in tourism.

Why has tourism increased?

• Development tourism is used by

Governments in the developed and developing world to provide employment, earn foreign currency and diversify the economy.

• Elderly population Numbers of retired

people in the developed world are higher than ever before. They have cash and are living longer than ever before.

Page 9: Tourism - a rapidly expanding industry

Why has tourism increased?• Changes in society People now consider a

holiday as an essential not the absolute luxury it used to be.

• Increased affluence Wages have increased and

prices are comparatively cheaper than ever before, therefore we have a greater disposable income than ever before. The reduction in air-fares and cheaper package holidays have also contributed to an increase in tourism.

Why has tourism increased?

• Communication The internet is now

increasingly used as a tool for booking holidays. It is more convenient and cheaper than using travel agents.

• Exposure Through television

programmes, social media and advertising, people are becoming more aware of other countries and tourism opportunities.

The Butler Model of Tourist Resort Development

http://worldlywise.pbworks.com/f/Butler's%20model.jpg

The purpose of the Butler Model is to look at the way that tourist resorts, grow and develop.

The Butler Model breaks down tourist resort development into six stages.

Page 12: Tourism - a rapidly expanding industry

 A small number of adventurous tourists visit the area. The area is unspoiled and few tourist facilities exist. Very few locals are involved in tourism.

 More tourists arrive. Facilities for tourists such as hotels, restaurant, shops and other services are built. Local people begin to become involved in the industry.

Big companies start to see the potential of the area and start to invest money in the region. They build large hotel complexes and sell package holidays. The numbers of tourists swell dramatically and massively expands the number of job opportunities for people in the local region, in both tourist related jobs and in construction and services.

.

http://worldlywise.pbworks.com/f/Butler's%20model.jpg

Page 13: Tourism - a rapidly expanding industry

The local economy is probably dominated by tourism and many local people will make their money from this type of industry. There will be continued building and expansion of the resort BUT some of the older buildings will start to become unattractive and a lower quality client base might result.

Competition from other resorts, congestion and noise as well as a loss of the original features can cause the resort to stop growing.  The number of tourists starts to decline, threatening local businesses and services

If the resort is not rejuvenated then it will go into decline. People lose their jobs related to tourism. The image of the area suffers.

Investment and modernisation may occur which leads to improvements and visitor numbers may increase again.

STAGNATION: Early 1990’s resorts like Benidorm were saturated. Hotels become tired and dated. Repeat customers began to get bored. Environmental damage. Overcrowding

Page 20: Tourism - a rapidly expanding industry

DECLINE: 1990’s – economic downturn in Europe. Boredom with beach holidays. Madrid train bombings. Cheaper international flights meant more people were going further e.g. SE Asia .People were looking for more culturally and environmentally interesting destinations

REJUVENATION: Low-cost airline (Ryanair and Easyjet). City breaks (Madrid and Barcelona). Resurgence of local food and culture e.g. paella and PamplonaIntroduction of more theme-based holidays e.g. golf and water sports
