Study Notes
Tourism Area Life Cycle (TALC)
-
Tourism is a major global industry that is constantly evolving
-
Tourist attractions are vulnerable and need careful management
-
The sustainability of destinations relates to the carrying capacity
-
Professor Richard Butler's work on TALC is popular
-
Butler created the TALC model in 1980
-
This model is designed to guide developers in contingency planning and provide alternative ways
Exploration Stage
-
This marks the initial phase of the tourism cycle
-
The destination attracts visitors with natural beauty and unique culture
-
Government and locals begin to recognize opportunities within the tourism sector
-
Tourism planning commences
Involvement Stage
- This marks the start of tourism development
- Guest houses begin opening to accommodate visitors
- Foreign investors express interest in developing the area
- Government might experience strain to improve transportation infrastructure
Development Stage
- This phase involves extensive planning and construction
- New infrastructure, such as roads, trains, airports and terminals, gets constructed
- New tourist attractions emerge.
- Increased marketing and promotion of the destination happens
- Tourist population starts to outnumber the local population. Local control becomes reduced.
Consolidation Stage
- Tourism growth starts slowing during this stage
- Destinations become heavily dependent on tourism as main income source
- Globalization, leading to economic leakage, has a negative impact on the economy
- It becomes a negative social impact when local people become discontent
Stagnation Stage
- This represents the start of a decline in tourism
- Tourist numbers have peaked with varying capacities being met
- Destinations begin to lose their appeal
- There is a negative impact because of overtourism
- Which is causing potential economic, environmental and social consequences
Decline or Rejuvenation Stage
-
This stage represents several outcomes for destinations either rejuvenation or decline
-
Outcomes depend on plans and actions of stakeholders involved
-
Complete rejuvenation can occur via major developments, the addition of new attractions, sustainable approaches and change in the target market.
-
Without such changes, tourism may continue to decline at a slower pace
-
Rapid decline may occur because of war, natural disaster or a pandemic
