-
Stages in the Tourism Area Life Cycle: A theoretical model that describes the stages of development that a tourism destination goes through, from inception to decline.
- Exploration: The destination is "discovered" by a few people, mostly independent travelers. Facilities are not of "tourist standards."
- Involvement: The destination experiences greater and regular visitations with seasonal patterns. The community begins to adapt to tourism and may even begin to advertise.
- Development: Additional tourism infrastructure may be present. Well-defined regular market areas emerge. Tourists during peak season outnumber locals.
- Consolidation: Growth rate in tourist arrivals declines, although numbers are still increasing. A business zone appears, and some older facilities are perceived as second-rate.
- Stagnation: The number of tourists reaches or exceeds the carrying capacity and environmental, social, and economic problems are experienced.
- Decline or Rejuvenation: The resort begins to lose its appeal and property owners begin to sell. Few new establishments open, facilities depreciate in value, and local ownership of tourist facilities increases.
