i.Tourism management in urban areas

For one named city or large town:
• describe the distribution and location of primary and secondary tourist resources

• discuss the strategies designed to manage tourist demands, maximize capacity and minimize conflicts between local residents and visitors and avoid environmental damage.

Task 1 - Make a note of the following definitions

What is a Primary & Secondary Tourist Resource?

•Tourism is dependent upon the attractive power of the destination’s primary resources:
 
*Natural resources (climate, landscape, ecosystems);
*Cultural resources (urban heritage, arts, archaeological values, traditions)
*Social resources (potential tourism developers with socio-demographic characteristics, abilities, financial capital, knowledge)
 
•Moreover tourist destinations provide secondary resources:

*Accommodation sector (hotel, motel, camping, guest house etc.)
*Catering sector (café, restaurants, bistro etc.)
*Travel organisation sector (agencies, tour operators etc.)
*Transportation sector (air, boat, train, bus, etc.)
*Entertainment sector (Gambling, disco, etc.)
*Information sector (tourism information network)
*Supplementary services, facilities and service infrastructure

Task 2 - Use the following link: http://www.lonelyplanet.com/italy/venice

Map out the main attractions in Venice. Click on 'Sights’ (Primary) and comment on the location and spread around Venice. Take a screen shot and add the image to your word document underneath your description.

Annotate other Primary Resources onto your map of Venice.

Secondary Tourism Resources in Venice

Using the same website, one by one, overlay shopping, restaurants and entertainment to the map. Take a screen shot of each and comment on the distribution and location of these features in relation to the primary features.

Task 3 - Read this article (conflicts) from 2013 and then this article (manage tourism demands, capacity & environmental damage) from November 2013 on the BBC. Use a highlighter pen to highlight the following: 

Strategies designed to manage tourist demands
Strategies to maximize capacity
Strategies to minimize conflicts between local residents and visitors
Strategies to avoid environmental damage.
 
IB Exam Practice
Evaluate the strategies to manage tourist demands, maximize capacity and minimize conflicts between local residents and visitors and avert environmental damage in an urban area of your choice. 


**An essay plan is vital for this question as there is a considerable amount to write about a number of different features**

Don't forget the 'Impact Introduction Statement' at the beginning.
