Question:
Discuss about the Tourism Systems of Clipper Bay.
In ancient times, the revitalization of economy and growth meant conquering the new land and plowing out new resources from that particular area, which has changed in the present times (Burayidi, 2013). Now, it means to the development and growth of society and community within the defined borders of land. Under economy development, if the growth of society is not considered, then it will lead the resources to depletion and people to distress. This report includes the economic revitalization thorough tourism at Clipper Bay.
Clipper Bay is the area that has the population of 5000 from three different generations and it has the economic capacity for development because of livelihood purpose of its people, such as; rich heritage and fishing that has been kept still alive by the community people. The government in this area thinks that tourism will be profitable in finding new opportunities. This report examines the development approach for enhancing tourism at Clipper Bay (Aina, & Babatola, 2015). There are different factors, which may impact the tourism, such as; economic, socio-cultural and environmental factors. Moreover, it describes a sustainable approach, which can be practiced for the development of tourism at Clipper Bay, i.e. responsible approach. Furthermore, it includes the discussion about different stakeholders, who are related to the economic revitalization through tourism activities at Clipper Bay.
Looking at the requirement of economic revitalization for the society to consider the problems of transformation, to safeguard the community from economic decrease and reduction of resources and to prevent the natural and cultural heritage from failing with the development in population, it was essential to plan a development project for the society of Clipper Bay. The people in the city need revitalizing their economy by enhancing the industries, commercial areas, corridors and highways (Arch Daily, 2010). In today’s competitive business world, the entrepreneurs need to make efforts to encourage the local culture and different businesses for improving the quality of life within the area. The governments can execute a better development approach by engaging the community people and other people, who are very much concerned about the justified outcomes. Under this development approach, first, it is very significant to identify the business industries in the town as a major part of this economic revitalization.
In this area, fishing industry is the major industry that is the reason of people’s livelihood. So, this industry can be considered for the enhancement and development. Apart from this, two other sectors, i.e. farming and agriculture can also generate the more income of the future generation. The authorities in the town should look at these two industries and enhance their domestic culture and tourism by creating more revenues (Burayidi, 2013). This development approach will assist in economic renewal. In addition, the government should conduct community awareness program and plan to make the people aware. It is very important that public at Clipper Bay is attentive of their well-being and town’s development. At Clipper Bay, the travel and tourism managers should twig an instruction board at tourist attractions, which should be monitored by all the tourists. Under this development approach, the government should include all the related parties in economic revitalization procedure (Cárdenas-García, Sánchez-Rivero, & Pulido-Fernández, 2015).
Cost benefit analysis is a significant approach, which can be executed for the economic development of the tourism processes. This is an analysis, which is implemented by the firm to make decisions in diverse circumstances, where it has to create an investment plan is estimated to produce substantial benefits and costs, which cannot be used through transactions in market (Chathoth, et al, 2014). At Clipper Bay, if the cost benefit analysis will be executed, then it will help the authorities to focus on significant factors of tourism development or their positive and negative impacts. At Clipper Bay, the tourism management will apply cost and benefit analysis by considering different aspects, such as; pool of labor, ease of access and resource availability (Chiu, Lee & Chen, 2014).
The visitors from all over the world travel to Clipper Bay for exploring its natural attractions. The people travel from different urban locations to get relaxed from their busy life. The government can make investment on establishing hotels and resorts along with the coastal area to provide enough water supplies to the travellers and tourists. Thus, at Clipper Bay, eco-tourism can be conducted by bringing the travellers to lime stone caves and go for the camping in forest areas.
The travellers can approach to the area of Clipper Bay via road, which will reduce their travelling time. The government will increase the number of busses after constructing the highways. By this, it may be possible that population may confront the problem of overcrowding, when the number of travellers to Clipper Bay will be increased. At Clipper Bay, two way coastal roads can practice as an appropriate way to make control on the guests and tourists. Thus, building highways and roads will be very advantageous for the town. It will give various benefits to the development of city in the timeframe of next few years (Eusébio, et al, 2016).
Pool of labor is another factor, which can be utilized in cost benefit analysis. The population at Clipper Bay is engaged in fishing business and they may have battle for the tourism development of the Bay. Under this process, tour operators may face several problems because there is a small pool of labor with the limited settlement of capacity. These managers will require making the public aware to evolve them with ability and understanding about the eco-tourism and hire the workers from nearby towns.
In this way, these three factors demonstrate that this is an appropriate way to choose tourism as effective source for Clipper Bay town along with these circumstances (Fennell, 2014).
The approach that can be used at Clipper Bay is Responsible approach of tourism. At Clipper Bay, tourism has been chosen for economic renewal, so it will implement this approach. Responsible tourism approach is a policy that aims to ensure that clients and authorities work in a way, which is culturally, socially and environmentally sound. This approach involves all the parties and external stakeholders in the tourism revitalization activities. This approach will focus on the point that all the parties and external stakeholders are equally accountable for the process of tourism development and growth.
By applying this mechanism, different divisions will perform the processes by establishing the goals of making the town better to live and to explore. It will be advantageous for economic renewal at Clipper Bay (Grunwell, 2014). This approach will assist in improving the tourism sector at Clipper Bay and it will definitely rejuvenate this town area economically. Moreover, it will decrease the adverse effects of socio-cultural, economic and environmental factors and provide economic advantages to the local population of Clipper Bay.
For the tourist place like Clipper Bay, the fundamental infrastructure includes the hotels, highways, roads, electricity, parks, buildings, hospitals, towers and other structures, which support development of tourism. At Clipper Bay, the government will implement the Geographic Information Mechanism for transforming its infrastructure program. It will include different components, like; planning network for transportation and different zones, visitor’s division etc., which will assist the concerned department in managing all the areas of tourism. By doing this, they can communicate with all related parties, like; visitors, transportation people etc. (Kim & Seo, 2014). Next stage under this plan will be zoning that will consist of different zones of town, which will be considered according to the interests of travellers. In addition, it will make efforts to connect all the zones via road networks.
In the area of travel and tourism, sustainability and effectiveness of implemented changes cannot be monitored without improving its superstructure, so there is a requirement of enhancing the components of superstructure. At Clipper Bay, this superstructure can comprise of several facilities, which are provided at the tourist attractions in the town (Leigh & Blakely, 2016). The major facilities of its superstructure consists of hotels rooms, medical facilities, showers, rescue teams and centers, changing rooms for the people, security team and security towers and food stores with different menus.
In the sector of travel and tourism, stakeholders play a critical role. Under this economic revitalization, there may be many stakeholders in the industry at Clipper Bay. These stakeholders are, such as; domestic businesses, residents, employees, activist groups, tourists, tourism agencies, government, community and other related authorities. These all the external stakeholders will have their own duties and responsibilities in the development of eco-tourism at Clipper Bay. The below-given diagram shows all the stakeholders, who will execute these processes communally. All of these stakeholders will act for the benefits of public of Clipper Bay and tourist arrivals by creating awareness among people and satisfying their social and cultural responsibilities towards them.
