and cultural motivations (To enhance knowledge regarding new places, to visit cultural and historical sites, to meet residents) than visitors of Mallorca (Kozak 2002). According to prior studies individuals who consider visiting cultural or historic places as an essential activity during their journey mostly spend less. It was revealed that most of the visitors who prefer to engage in nature based activities were likely to spend more. Other than the travel motive, variables such as trip length, household income, age affect the daily expenditure of nature tourists.(Mehmetoglu 2007). Previous studied have showed that decision to revisit a particular beach is more depend on the overall satisfaction of the tourist. Hence visitors’ perceive image …show more content…
Visitor perceptions related to parking areas vary according to the nature of the area. It is difficult to park in an urban area. This is even more challenging when there is no place to park or if the place is notably small. In a survey conducted in Southern California, respondents stated that they would pay a visit to a beach 17.18 days additionally per year averagely if parking is made easier. Results display that respondents would visit 34.38 days often annually if it halved time to reach the beach. This comes up with the fact that beaches with limited access gain fewer visitations than the opposite. It had been discovered that visitation will increase when beach access improved even if tourists had to bear the expense for extra access. It seems that visitors who return to a tourist destination display significant higher satisfaction upon the site than visitors who arrived for the first time. During the time off, beach visitors usually expect to rest. Tranquility and affinity to the nature were also expected. So it is apparent that long established “sea, sun, sand” beach model is still valid even though parking is inadequate. Perceived attractiveness of the beach, perceived condition of service and perceived quality of money are all considerably affect the predicted satisfaction of tourists.(Snider, Luo et al. …show more content…

To ensure the Safety of people, constructions at the first 100m was restricted by both CEA and Forest Department. Constructions at the next 200m is allowed at a restricted degree .But this is fails at the implementation level because 80% of tourism activities prevail within this 300m zone. Local Communities were also against this decision. Again to prevent constructions in the restricted zone, CCD brought a permit system. This system is not strictly implemented to limit unnecessary , not well designed buildings in the site. It is not easy to find appropriate lands to build tourism related

Tourism impacts can be generally classified into seven categories with each having both positive and negative impacts. These impacts include; economic, environmental, social and cultural, crowding and congestion, taxes, and community attitude. It is essential for a balance on array of impacts that may either positively or negatively affect the resident communities. Different groups are concerned about different tourism impacts that affect them in one way or another. Tourism’s benefits can be increased by use of specific plans and actions. These can also lead to decrease in the gravity of negative impacts. Communities will not experience every impact but instead this will depend on particular natural resources, development, or spatial patterns (Glen 1999).

The large mountains surrounding Anchorage collect a substantial amount of snow. During the Summer when the snow thaws, the water in the creeks start flowing once again. This is because of the Hydrologic Cycle, through condensation and evaporation, precipitation takes place, therefore causing runoff into creeks and streams. Due to this continuous pattern of melting and freezing, the stream that I am studying is perennial. My stream reach was located upstream from Eastchester between a bridge and a large, silver culvert.
The sound of the howling winds draws me back to reality. I stay still as a statue, eyes closed with my head resting against the crook of my elbow. The ache in my back throbs yet I cannot resist the urge to stay folded over my desk, soaking in the sound of the rain drumming against the roof. Melodic and calming. My heavy eyelids strain as I force them open and through the spidery thin strands of my hair I make out the sight of the sky.
The boy limps up the bench, leaving a path of blood behind him. His bright red blood paints the soft sand as I get a sense of deja vu. It tingles through my body as it sends me back in time... I remember the circular lake piercing the bay, like a metal disc. Its surface sat undisturbed, perfectly reflecting the sky above.

The Jersey Shore oozes Hawaiian vibes with the majestic deep purple acai blend from a roadside shack. I got to cross off “taste testing acai bowls” on my summer bucket list as I was stumbling across this gem near 10th avenue: Playa Bowls at the Pier Village in Long Branch Beach, New Jersey. After tanning and enduring a long day on the beach, it was the perfect revitalizing snack. I was hyped to know about a smoothie bowl spot on the beach after a few buzzes on the beach about the place and saw everyone holding one of these bowls on the boardwalks. The long line that went outside the door spoke for itself.
Ever since Sunset Beach has been officially opened to the public, there has been a drastic increase of tourists present. Television programs concluded that at least a thousand people visit the beach everyday. Reasons for their stay are that they feel comfortable with the environment that surrounds the beach front, people who are at the beach are joyous and numerous activities to enjoy, and the fresh scent of the sparkly waters, make the visitors feel calm and pleasurable. So I decided to take a trip there.
He write “Adventure Tourists – that’s those young people who come with back packs, take selfies all over the place, and talk loudly about how ‘awesome’ they are in the bar, isn’t it? “. (Local Council Member: 1). Author of this reasoning show unknowingness of a basic idea of who is the Adventure Tourist. Research conducted in 2014 by The Adventure Tourism Trade Association, demonstrate that global average age of Adventure Tourism customer is 48.

There is no research about employment of average adventure tourist, but it can be assumed that most of them earn their money at some kind of work. Local Council Member said that in his opinion this part of industry not bringing much money in. As stated in UNWTOs “Global Report on Adventure Tourism” in comparison, on a global level, non-adventure tourists spend about 500 US Dollars per person per holiday, this is about 40% less than the amount spent by adventure tourists. What is more in mass tourism, approximately four-fifths of the revenue from a trip goes to airlines, hotels and other international companies. In contrast, in adventure tourism, quarter of the revenue goes to local communities. This means that this niche brings more money than ordinary kind of tourism and is more beneficial to local

In the article, “Roses underneath Paris” Murat (n.d) writes that “In matters of healing the body or the mind, vacation is a true genius!” A vacation is supposed to be an entertaining and soothing break from a daily routine. However, a poorly planned vacation can end up being a major headache. Vacations is an escape many people look forward to all year. Working adults spend days and months of hard work. As a reward, it is common for these hard working individuals to take a much needed break and be away from the demands and responsibilities of their jobs. Giving oneself plenty of time to plan can be a fun way to build up excitement for a vacation. To have a well-planned vacation, it is important to consider choosing a touristic country that offer high quality accommodations, and decent airlines.
It is a well-noted fact that tourists from the developed world, or rich western nations, are in favour of visiting unspoilt natural environments and places steeped in tradition. However, Lea (1988) regards such attractions as being a sign of underdevelopment and rarely tolerated by the host nations just because they meet with foreign approval of visitors. Instead, it is the priority of the respective governments to raise living standards to acceptable levels, which means modernisation and the implementation of various infrastructures. Nevertheless, if administered effectively mass tourism could provide a form of sustainable development by meeting the needs of the present without compromising those of the future.
