1.2 Using the data from above, analyse destination trends for my chosen leading destination and the Royal Borough of Greenwich and predict future trends in visitor number and visitor profile.
Dubai, United Arab Emirates that is one of the best
and my chosen destination as well as here we are I am going to discuss Royal
Borough of Greenwich and predict future trends in visitor number and visitor
profile as a team member of destination promotion of Royal Borough of
Greenwich.
Figure: Tourist Arrivals (Million) Source: World Bank (2015)
Dubai, United Arab Emirates is would be one of the
chosen distension because base on the social media its advertisement is speeded
everywhere of the world and people may get trend about this place and its
beauty. The android, windows apps of the Dubai, United Arab Emirate stand by this
traveller may engaged about the place primarily as well as people may know its
benefits and healthy benefits for the time of travels and it also work as a
trend(World Bank, 2015).
People who are interested increasingly seeking a
personalized travel experience about Dubai, United Arab Emirates if they come
before and this create a good impression and abandon people may have interested
by this process. We will be using the smart technology for the further
promotion of the Dubai, United Arab Emiratesand its benefits and facilities
that would be worked as a trend. About a place like Dubai, United Arab Emiratespeople
all time wants more and more information, interaction and personalization for
their better satisfaction and better enjoyment. Another trend that are working
in this sector is the Retargeting and localization and brand identity of the
place and how the city of place is adorn by the company or authority. In a
place travel experience can impact in the next time travel and if traveller may
get more comfortable environment then they come again and again. Another some
of trend are also available like hotel taxes and the big date arriving for the
tourism industry as well the government incentivise that may change the
traveller mind about the place. Short-stay trips and vacation may work trend
for the grater development of the promotion profile as a team member of
destination promotion of Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
2.1 Identify the culture, social and physical features of Royal Borough of Greenwich dating their appeal to tourist.
There are different components that are effect on
visitor destinations broadly and universally. In light of the element,
vacationer destinations have been isolated. For instance we can say that the archaeological
site assaulted the general population who are in the tremor zone.
Characteristic Park offers us the magnificence of the scene. Zoo is presents
the brute of the different woods and sorts. This undertaking has been pondered
in depicting social, social and physical elements of vacationer destinations. After
1965 when the Royal Borough of Greenwich was merged and formed then it would be
one of the tourist spot for the world. According to Groth (2000), the
culture, social and physical features of Royal Borough of Greenwich is very
favourable for the people who are interested to visit this place.
Culture: Royal Borough of Greenwich is
situated beside the south bank of Thames River that is really an amazing river
for the people of beauty seeker. It is called land of river and its waterfront
is long like more than 8.5miles that is relay nice. Shooters Hill in the east
is another attraction for the people because its natural beauty is not only
better it is up to mark and people may face difficulties for huge tourist. The
beside areas of the Royal Borough of Greenwich also beautiful and people who
come here can also visit other place with lowest cost that is better
opportunity for the tourist that can appeal to tourist. Burj Khalifa in Dubai
is the most noteworthy building of the history that assaulted the guest and use
as the inn (Groth, 2000).
Physical: Abandoned vehicles are
another physical issue that is prevailing in Royal Borough of Greenwich and the
culture of this place is very user friendly for people from any country from
any environment. Central Greenwich Town that is booked as a world heritage by
the UNSCO for its demand for the new people. The social condition and great
feature of Royal Borough of Greenwich is dating their appeal to tourist. A
mayor is selected for maintaining the rules and regulation and it can enough
for the better for the people who come to visit this place. Different
educational institution is prevail here including famous universities, schools
and other vocational institutions and it can be considered as a features of
Royal Borough of Greenwich dating their appeal to tourist (Groth, 2000).
Social:
Cultural component as well as social variable effect on traveller destinations
globally. Here country, religion, race, thus on are the critical variable as
being social component of worldwide tourism. For instance we can say that
Palestine has recorded and discharge place where there is religion. Indian sub
contain is the case of solid society of etymological contrasts. In UK, New Year
Eve, Xmas thus on considered as the celebration where Dubai's celebration is
Eid ul Fitar, Eid ul Azahar, Ramadan thus on religious celebration (Groth,
2000).
2.2 Compare and contrast the culture, social and physical features of Royal Borough of Greenwich and those of the chosen leading destination.
Dubai, United Arab Emirates is my chosen leading
destination and the selected place is Royal Borough of Greenwich and we can
find some similarities as well as some contrast for their nature, culture and
social and physical issue.
Dubai is one of the famous and beautiful city as well
as popular of United Arab Emirates that is really a great attraction for the
people all over the world. If we make the compare and contrast we have to
discuss the physical, social and cultural issue of the Dubai, United Arab
Emirates and Royal Borough of Greenwich. Dubai, United Arab Emirates is located
near Persian Gulf and its weather is quite good for
the visitor for their better comportment (Johnston, 2005). From the historical part Dubai, United Arab
Emirates is the location for the different class of people but here people live
with the solidarity and lived as well lead their life, worked with one another,
interacted for different cultural issue of national and religious, travelled
different countries, and relaxed. Though the social structure of the Dubai is
complex and adamant for general people but it is not more different from other
counties of Europe. The climate of Dubai is mild and moderately wet that is not
too bad for the visitors. On the other hand, the Royal Borough of Greenwich is
also a nice place for the beauty seeker people from different countries but
their social structure is more easy that the structure of Dubai. Central
Greenwich Town that is booked as a world heritage by the United Nations Special
Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process (UNSCO) for its demand for the
new people. The social condition and great features of Royal Borough of
Greenwich is dating their appeal to tourist. A mayor is selected for
maintaining the rules and regulation and it can enough for the better for the
people who come to visit this place.
3.1 Investigate and analyse the economic and political characteristics of Royal Borough of Greenwich with the other chosen leading destination
Royal Borough of Greenwich and my selected leading
destination that is Dubai are more or less similar political and economic
situation is passing.
Economic Characteristics: Dubai is very strong
economic situation here tax is very low or free and people from other country
may also enjoy this advantage. Everyone knows Dubai that is my chosen
destination and the most popular city of United Arab Emirates messed up with
real estate and construction. International Companies have seemed to settle in
quite comfortably using it as a bridge to the rest of Asia and North Africa so
we can tell that it is really sustainable economic condition City. But the long
term cost of maintaining its infrastructure is tremendously expensive because
it mostly depended on its natural wealth (Mann,
2002). On the other hand, Royal Borough of Greenwich business services
sector is very strong and Information & Technology (IT), Information and
Communications Technology (ICT), communication is very strong and most
effective for the better economic development. When it was the host of the 34
Olympic and Paralympic events it was proved its economic condition. In the
sector of politics whole Greenwich most of the time labour party was in power
and it was only 1 time in 1968 when conservative party. It is administered by
51 councillors where labour party hold 43 seats and conservative party hold 8
seats. Dubai domestic front and in an effort to curb the problem of illegal
labourers, the government passed a law expelling all foreign labourers in
violation of their visas (Mann, 2002).
Political Characteristic: Greenwich London
Borough Council is the nearby power for the Royal Borough of Greenwich in
Greater London, England. It is a London locale chamber, one of 32 in the United
Kingdom capital of London. Greenwich is parcelled into 17 wards, each picking
three councillors. The board was made by the London Government Act 1963 and
supplanted two neighbourhood powers: Greenwich Metropolitan Borough Council and
Woolwich Metropolitan Borough Council. In 2014, Labour-run board denied to help
the making the remembrance to Lee Rigby, who was murder with Islamists
happened. The neighbourhood power gets to be condemned when he was murdered.
Government authority setting off to an away day rapidly after the manslaughter,
thusly missing a visit by the Prime Minister. Taking after a fight which saw
25,000 people sign a bid in manoeuvring of the remembrance the board dropped
its imperviousness to the tribute (International Travel Tours, 2015).
Dubai Government works the subject of constitution in
government framework and the official name is taking to under United Arab
Emirate. It is arranged the Middle East at the southern part. The UAE takes 7
emirates bits couple of right over law in 1971. The force of veto just whiskery
Dubai and Abu Dhabi in Dubai Government. For instance, the new association of
Dubai has taken 'Clean India' meander which displays helpful result with
everything taken into account national tourism domain.
3.2 Critical evaluate how the culture, physical, political and social characteristics of Royal Borough of Greenwich affects its appeal to tourist.
Cultural factor is an important issue that affects its
appeal to tourist and make it as a best destination. The culture and the
cultural equipment that are available in Royal Borough of Greenwich affect its
appeal to tourist. More than 35% tourist visitor come only for the cultural
impact of Royal Borough of Greenwich affects its appeal to tourist. Different
cultural events that are hold in the Royal Borough of Greenwich can create a
good imprison among the visitors for their visiting. Another one is physical
structure that also play role to make attention tourist in the Royal Borough of
Greenwich affects its appeal to tourist(Lise,
2002).If the city like Royal Borough of Greenwich city of place is adorn by
the government or authority, then it would be an attraction for the people from
different part of the world. In a place travel experience can impact in the
next time travel and if traveller may get more comfortable environment then
they come again and again. Political and social issue also impact on the
tourist appeal on the certain place because the good political environment is
not safe and secure for tourist and they may not feel comfort in a bad
political environment of a city or country. But the good political environment
of Royal Borough of Greenwich where most of the time labour party was in power
and it was only 1 time in 1968 when conservative party. It is administered by
51 councillors where labour party hold 43 seats and conservative party hold 8 seats.
4.1 Identify three issues that may affect the popularity of Royal Borough of Greenwich as a destination and compare and contrast them with the leading destination chosen
There are different issues that may affect the
popularity of a place as a destination of tour like Royal Borough of Greenwich.
Environmental factor is one of them because Physical Environment is the 1st
attraction to the people because people love to enjoy the colourful physical
environment. If the spot is Residence in the coastal zone or early climate
zone, then it effects on popularity. Cultural conflict can also affect the
popularity of Royal Borough of Greenwich as a destination like we can consider
or compare with the Dubai, where Dubai is less liked by people that Royal Borough
of Greenwich because of good culture(WTO,
2007).Another issue is the social condition that is another urgent issue
and it can change the goodwill and here the economic and security issue is
related because less secure place loss its popularity like Dubai is more secure
than other place like Royal Borough of Greenwich so people like to visit Dubai
more and more.
4.2 Critically discuss how Royal Borough of Greenwich could sustain its appeal as a destination with empathy on responsible tourism.
All the elements of geographical character of Royal
Borough of Greenwich may work together for sustainable appeal as a destination
with empathy on responsible tourism. The community of the Royal Borough of
Greenwich is another part of sustain its appeal so authority have to ensure their
full participation on the tourism business (Greenidge,
2001). If it possible to ensure informs both visitors and hosts,
then the Royal Borough of Greenwich can create more appeal to the
detention. Authority has to show the benefits residents economically so
they come forward and sustain its appeal as a destination with empathy
on responsible tourism. Supports integrity of place and Market selectivity can impact positively on the
tourism business.
Conclusion:
The culture and the cultural equipment that are
available in Royal Borough of Greenwich affect its appeal to tourist. Cultural
factor is an important issue that affects its appeal to tourist and make it as
a best destination.
