Foggy?, Misty?, Clear?

You have only………..

Stage 1: Exploration

• There are very few tourists and few facilities for them

• Those who come are attracted by the quiet & undeveloped nature of the location.

• There is much interaction between locals & tourists.

• Tourism type: discovery or adventure.

Stage 2: Involvement• Tourism numbers increase steadily, and

facilities begin to be provided.

• A tourism ‘season’ may be defined and low-key advertising may start.

• There is pressure on local government to improve access and to be involved in the promotion of tourism.

• Tourism type: independent travellers.

Stage 3: Development• Numbers of tourists rise rapidly.

• Up-to-date facilities are provided but are not run by local people. Tensions begin to build between locals and outsiders who have now taken control of the resort's development, with much change

• Tourism type: early package holiday.

Stage 4: Consolidation

• Number of tourists increase but at a slower rate.

• The pace of change slows.

• Tourism type: package holidays

Stage 5: Stagnation

• The resort begins to lose its popularity due to changing fashions and ageing tourist facilities. The resort is working below its capacity.

• Over-reliance on appeal of existing facilities e.g. ‘Pepsi Max Big One’ at the Pleasure Beach.

• Tourism type: Cheap & old-fashioned package holidays.

Stage 6: Decline

• The resort offers nothing new.

• Tourists get bored and go elsewhere

• There is high unemployment as many local people had jobs in the tourism industry.

• Shops close down and the area looks neglected

Stage 7: Rejuvenation

• New attractions are developed which gives the ageing resort an attractive USP (Unique Selling Point) or Niche market .

For example, Blackpool’s Rejuvenation Project.

• Loyal and new tourists arrive which ensures the survival of the resort.
