Study Notes
Tourism Development Theories
- Laissez-Faire Theory: Assumes tourism industry operates best when left to market forces without government intervention. Encourages economic growth and profit, but can lead to excessive resource exploitation.
- Modernization Theory: Views tourism as a tool for economic progress and cultural transformation of traditional areas. Emphasizes adapting to increasing visitor diversity and modernizing infrastructure, although modernization can sometimes destroy heritage sites
- Trickle-Down Theory: Suggests economic growth from tourism improves everyone's living conditions within an area, from managers to local vendors. Economic "multiplier effect" improves the economy by injecting money from inbound tourism.
- Neoliberal Theory: Favors minimal government intervention in the economy and accepts regulation, but opposes government competition with private businesses within tourism.
- Dependency Theory: Views international tourism as modern-day colonialism, where developed nations exploit resources and skills from developing ones. This can lead to economic issues including unemployment and reliance on imports in local areas.
- Irridex Model Theory: Focuses on the increasing negative social impacts of tourism, leading to the local community’s decreasing tolerance of tourism effects. This includes the concept of social carrying capacity, which is the local community's ability to tolerate the effects of tourist visits.
Tourism Planning Platforms
- Advocacy Platform: Focuses on positive impacts of tourism, such as job creation and economic growth. Views tourism as a tool for national development and a "clean industry".
- Cautionary Platform: Critiques negative impacts of mass tourism, like poverty and exploitation. Warns of high-rise hotels and loss of resources.
- Adaptancy Platform: Acknowledges negative impacts but emphasizes minimizing them through alternative tourism forms, including environmentally-conscious and socially-oriented tourism.
- Knowledge-Based Platform: Emphasizes critical analysis & unbiased information. Promotes sustainable tourism models.
- Social Justice Platform: Encourages inclusive participation, equity, and pro-poor practices in tourism planning.
- Ad-Hoc Planning: A case-by-case approach without established plans, used often in emergencies or one-off events.
- Integrated Tourism Planning: Connects tourism development to all aspects (economic, social, cultural) of a destination.
- Boosterist Approach: Heavily promotes tourism as a driver of economic development, with a focus on generating maximum revenue through mass tourism.
- Product-led Development: Focuses on creating and improving tourism infrastructure to attract tourists first.
- Spatial Planning Approach: Categorizes tourism into different spatial areas with site, destination, and regional scales affecting how tourism is planned.
- Demand-led Approach: Addresses customer demand and creates products that appeal to tourists.
- Bureaucratic/Government-led Approach: Uses government policies such as advocacy, laws, and monetary control to guide tourism planning. This can be central planning where the national government controls tourism or developed planning where local governments make decisions about tourism.
- Middle Path Approach: Focuses on low-volume, high-value tourism to minimize negative effects. This was developed in Bhutan.
- Environmental Approach: Uses the concept of carrying capacity for balanced tourism development, focusing on acceptable limits for sustainable conditions.
- Social Approach: Emphasizes the role of stakeholders in tourism development and resource management in the community.
- Participatory/Stakeholder Approach: Involves stakeholders in decision-making to ensure that tourism plans meet the needs of the community.
- Community-based Approach: Emphasizes community control and benefit sharing in tourism development.
- Pro-poor Approach: Prioritizes the poorest residents through tourism interventions, ensuring fair benefit allocation.
- Fair Trade Tourism Approach: Promotes sustainable tourism development to protect the rights of local enterprises.
- Sustainable Tourism Approach: Balances economic, social, and environmental needs of tourism development.
