    TS503 WEEK 5 – Issues of Sustainable Tourism

    Tutorial Questions

    *Divide into 2 groups and work on these questions*


    1. List and briefly explain the 8 issues/problems facing the development of sustainable tourism.
    The definition of carrying capacity has successively been defined by the UNWTO, for
    which the carrying of a tourism destination is the maximum number of people that
    may visit a destination at the same time without adversely affecting its environmental,
    physical, economic, socio-cultural characteristics, and at the same time without
    negatively affecting the level of satisfaction of  tourists  [Kennell, 2014; UNWTO, 1981].
    The industry-
    Tourists-
    Host community-

    Some of the issues/problems facing the development of sustainable tourism are the lack of:
    1. Awareness and understanding
    2. Inherent tourism potential
    3. Technical know-how and weak promotional activity
    4. Tourism-related infrastructure
    5. Tourism investments
    6. Consistent tourism strategies and policies
    7. Tourism diversification
    8. Tourism safety

    2. Select only 4 issues that you think can be related to the tourism in the Solomon’s. Give examples
    to support.
    Lack of awareness and understanding of the concept of sustainable tourism;
    Majority of local population does not heard and understand this concept of the sustainable
    tourism. Few local might intend to established eco-resorts but they did not implement the
    principle of the eco-tourism in their projects.
    Lack of tourism know-how and weak promotional activity;

    Inconsistent tourism strategies and policies:


    Tourism investments

    3. Provide policy recommendations and actions to tackle the 4 problems identified (in qstn 2).

    • Provide and state certain appropriate plan of actions in mitigating the critical issues
    concerning the rollout of sustainable tourism in our country.
    • Objectives and programmes of action for the sustainable development of the tourism industry
    are to be outlines specifically in the national development plans and strategies and formulated in
    consultation with relevant local stakeholders.
    • Developing new resources and facilities as well as raising awareness of inherent natural and
    cultural resources
    • New focus of sustainable development and management of tourism should be on the
    promotion of economic incentives and environmental education and on local capacity
    building rather than merely on the establishment of rules and regulations.
    • Developing and raising tourism-oriented education. This will help to change people’s
    perception regarding tourism and raise their awareness on the opportunities and challenges
    involved in tourism.
    • Making efficient use of the mass media and other promotional facilities to publicize and promote
    existing attractions and available resources
    • Providing training and education programmes on different aspects of tourism for those directly
    involved in the sector activities. This should cover; foreign languages, business and tourism
    techniques history, culture, the environment and socio-cultural impacts of tourism, local and
    national flora and fauna.
    • Focus on physical planning and strengthening the sustainability of tourism and ecotourism
    products, in order to preserves the environmental and cultural quality of destinations.
    • Improving the quality and efficiency of the basic tourism related infrastructure and services
    such as, hotels, roads, public amenities, transportation and communication.
    • Diversifying the tourism product (tourism supply) by the inclusion of socio-cultural
    programmes and traditional activities involving local communities

    (Each group is to present their answers in front of the class)
