Gold Coast Attraction
Order Descriptiond
destination have been chosen for gold coast in australia
This assignment requires students to describe and analyse the tourism infrastructure of a selected destination with emphasis on:
– Analyse the number and quality of primary, secondary and tertiary attractions in the destination. How do they rate in terms of AIDA (Awareness, Interest, Demand ,
Action) , Does the destination have sufficient attractions to keep tourists interested in staying ? How well are attractions marketed in this destination to the
prospective source markets.
This assignment asks students to assess the relationship between the destination management /marketing organisation and the three key sectors of tourism (transport,
accommodation and attractions.) To what extent, if any, is there a collaborative relationship between the DMO and the sectors. Are there any conflicts between them and
if so what effect does this have on tourism? To what extent is the destination and the transport, accommodation and attraction business within it committed to
sustainability, Does the regulatory environment in the destination support, restrict or hamper tourism development in the transport, accommodation and attraction
sectors?
In your analysis each group needs to establish the extent to which transport accommodation and attractions meet or exceed the carrying capacity for the demographic mix
of domestic and international tourists.
In this assignment each group needs to establish the core and secondary attractions of your chosen destination. You need to determine the extent to which the mix of
accommodation is appropriate for the tourists the destination seeks to attracts. Abu Dhabi learned this hard way in 2009-10 when they only offered 5 star hotels for
which there was minimal demand during the Global Financial Crisis. To what extent does the transport infrastructure meet the needs of tourists.
Information sources
Web sites are great but do not rely wholly and solely on destination websites, unless you want to fail. In addition to extensive reading from books, journal articles
and media reports you can talk to people who either market the destinations or work in companies which service the destination. Primary research is a great way to gain
insights and if the information you gain from speaking to good sources of information enhances your report you will also gain many marks.
