1. Define Tourism Destination (10 points)

Tourist Destinations, in general, are places that have a set of heritage resources (cultural
and natural), infrastructures, and services that attract tourists, are places visited when
traveling or on a tourist trip, places or areas that rely heavily on the attraction resources
to generate income, or an assemblage of companies and organizations involved in
creating and marketing the overall tourism product within a geographical area. In other
words, a strategic unit that provides all necessary resources and whose integrated
activities provide tourists with the type of experiences they expect.

Tourist destinations generate foreign revenue, which is important in all countries, but
especially in third-world countries. Revenue can be generated directly by the attraction,
but it can also be generated indirectly by associated local industries such as restaurants,
markets, and informal trade. They create local jobs, and in many cases, tourist attractions
can provide gainful employment to people who would be less employable in other
industries. They also foster a sense of community pride in the surrounding area, which
has a positive social impact and can lead to a reduction in crime and nuisance behavior.

Another point to consider is that the attractions will typically provide the capital needed
to ensure adequate policing and other services. Tourist attractions raise the profile of a
region and increase global awareness of that region; this can be advantageous due to
increased social pressure if socio-political or economic challenges arise.

2. What are the benefits of tourism planning? (10 points)

To begin, planning is important to avoid situations caused by haphazard developments. It


is necessary to ensure that natural and man-made assets are conserved and protected to
maintain their tourist appeal. Several tourist destinations have gone through a cycle of
intense construction and capital investment, a tourist boom, a hay day, and then a
decline. Responsible planning and management are required to avoid eventual decline.
Second, there are numerous examples of the consequences of the unplanned
development of tourist destinations. These are the negative consequences of a lack of
planning, particularly on the physical environment, which results in permanent damage,
alteration, or degradation. Third, tourism development necessitates significant
expenditures and investments. In most cases, the state's resources are limited, and they
are also needed for other competing development activities. Because developing
countries have limited resources, tourism planning is especially important to ensure
proper financial utilization and reap maximum economic and other benefits.

Fourth, both the public and private sectors play important roles in tourism development,
which are not always clearly defined. The availability of appropriate facilities at the right
time and in the right place is critical to the success of tourism development. Tourism
planning aims to achieve such a balanced increase in demand and supply. Fifth, most
countries have planned economies, to varying degrees. Tourism development can be
most effective if it is carried out within the framework of a plan and is integrated into the
national economic development strategy designed to lead to the country's overall
economic growth.

3. In the Planning Models, please explain the TRREC “VICE” Planning Model and what is
meant by VICE. (10 points)

Visitors, Industry, Communities, and the Environment are the four (4) major stakeholders,
hence the acronym VICE. They can contribute to the local tourism planning framework,
emphasizing the importance of consultation in the planning process. On the other hand,
TRREC means Tourism, Recreation Research and Education Centre which modeled the
VICE Planning Model.

4. What is the systematic planning process and draw the six steps on the actual cycle of
the said planning process. (10points)

Brian McLoughlin devised this procedure. It consists of the following stages where the
first stage includes the decision to adopt planning, the second stage is where the
formulation of the plan's goals and objectives, the third stage is the investigation of
possible courses of action, the fourth stage is the evaluation of the courses of action,
taking into account the organization's values and cost-benefit analysis, the fifth stage is
the decision on the action to be taken, which may, for example, take the form of public
investment or control through private investment, and lastly the sixth stage, where they
examine or monitor the action's results concerning the stated goals or objectives. The
data is then fed back to the second stage, where it is used to modify or adjust the plan.
