Tourism in Rural Areas Task Two
P3- Describe the motivation for three different types of visitor, to each visit two specific rural areas.
M1- Explain the different types of activities that motivate three different types of visitor to one rural area within the UK.
Part One- Visitor motivation
Families-
Families are motivated to visit rural areas for the following reasons:
-Relaxation
-Adventure
-Novelty
Relaxation- Some families will find the thought of having the chance to relax appealing, after a long school and working term; talking the kids with them but the parents still get to relax as there is plenty for the children to do.
Adventure- A family like likely want to seek adventure at some point on their holiday, and they will more than likely be motivate to take a rural excursion to the countryside in order to seek this adventure. The countryside of the UK will motivate families who are looking for adventure as there are many outdoors activities possible and available such as orienteering and adventure walks.
Novelty- The novelty of a family holiday to the countryside is almost always there anyway, some families may prefer to take this type of holiday in the countryside as it would be much cheaper than taking a novelty holiday abroad.
Educational-
The educational visitor will be motivated to visit the rural area for the following reasons:
-Study
-Sport
-Culture
Study- This will be the main reason for an educational trip, the trip will be motivated to head for the country for specific research such as geography river or landscape studies, or also to carry out activities for awards such as Duke of Edinburgh.
Sport-Educational trips would be motivated to visit rural areas for sporting events due to the fact that many sports are held in countryside destinations. There are also certain hiking activities which can be carried out in the countryside for physical education.
Special Interest-
The special interest tourist category would be motivated to visit the countryside for the following reasons:
-Sport
-Culture
-Retreat
Culture- This is an important special interest activity and the tourist will be attracted to the countryside to find out more about the local culture, but also the special interest of heritage is closely linked with culture and the Stone Henge monument throughout the countryside would be motivating for the special interest tourists.
Retreat- Special interest tourists such as those who are concerned in their personal health or who just want a relaxing break may visit a retreat in the countryside in order to help recover from the bustling city life.
The number visiting has increased with the completion of the new A55 Expressway, which reduced the travelling time from Liverpool to Betws-y-Coed to less than one hour, thus meaning an increase in day visitors who are looking for a tranquil break from their bustling urban lives. The A55 Express... ... middle of paper ... ... -y-Coed To determine visitor opinion on the drawbacks of tourism in Betws-y-Coed, and also how successful the honeypot is at controlling tourism. I asked five visitors the following two questions, "What problems do you feel tourism brings to the area?"
Having a hometown developed from agriculture, and a hometown that has shaped into a diverse community, has given me the opportunity to not only observe and learn many different perspectives of farm life, but to learn about other cultures as well. In addition, living in a smaller rural area has also been nice because it gives you the ability to be able to get away from the hustle and bustle of an urban area and just be able to be out in an open and peaceful environment. Yet, if you do want to go to town for something you need or for entertainment, you do not have far to go and does not take long to get there. However, it is always good to be home on the farm to enjoy the open blue sky or a nighttime sky full of stars.

• Build relationship among the rural population, where the attribute of some potential community leaders who could be of help is
The two major communities that individuals live in are urban and rural. Both types have both positive and negative aspects. The focus of this paper is on rural communities. From my research rural environments are not as popular as urban ones; however, the citizens who live in these communities are very happy with the lifestyle they chose. The word rural is generally associated with communities that lack accessibility to public services such as transit, shopping, and entertainment. This is generally used in communities where farming is a primary occupation. In my study I interviewed three individuals who identify as living in a rural community.
Unique Travel Experience - There is an increasing demand for a unique travel experience. Travelers are no longer settling for the beach, buffet and bottled entertainment served up by travel packages of yore. According to a new survey released by the Adventure Travel Trade Association (ATTA): mountains, caves and oceans are where it 's at for both boomers and millennials in a sector that has been growing at a clip of 65%
Llandudno Fieldwork The study area in question is the town of Llandudno located in the North East of Wales on the date of 15th July 2004. Llandudno is a growing tourist hotspot and is a popular destination for tourists from the north west of English, although long distance travellers alike enjoy the lush scenery and the vast verity of attractions this beautiful town has to offer. Map A: Map A shows the location of Llandudno, and as you can well see from the map it is highly accessible from many of the main cities across the U.K such as the M56 from Manchester and Liverpool link onto the A road, A55 that leads almost right into the centre of Llandudno. Also it is highly accessible from other methods of transport such as via train, as a train station leads right into the heart of Llandudno, and many tourists travelling from further a field may well choose this method of transport. The aim of this coursework is to find 'Does tourism benefit the economy, locals, and environment?
In order for visitors to be left with the feeling of a meaningful “face-to-face encounter in a specially valued place,” location should be carefully considered
The Effectiveness of Outdoor Education Provision For this assignment I am going to identify the principles and benefits that outdoor education has to offer. After taking the time to think about what a principle and a benefit is I have come to the conclusion that a principle is the ethnics and morals and a benefit is the outcome and something you gain such as a new skill or completion of a task. People provide outdoor education for many reasons. The principles of a national skills centre are as followed. Ø To increase the level of skills Ø To run courses Ø To train coaches further Ø To allow clients to gain qualifications The benefits of a national skills centre are as followed.
When tourists decide to travel, there must be a motivation behind and this applies to VFR travellers (Gitelson and Kerstetter, 1995; Murphy, et al, 2003; Ramachandran, 2006). However, it is crucial to understand if VFR travel is the main purpose of travel or it just an activity that falls under the main purpose of travel (Ramachandran, 2006). Before one attempts to understand if VFR travel is either primary or secondary, it is important to review travel motivations which lead people to decide that they want to travel. Travel motivation is the basis for tourism studies which lead to tourism development (Pearce, 2005). It is significant in tourism to understand what motivates tourists in making a decision that they would desire to visit a particular place or
As I started out researching for the paper, I realized that most importantly, data would need to be collected comparing the educational opportunities and achievement of the rural youth and those of urban youth. For instance, high school grades and SAT scores could be compared, as well as college applications and attendance. Beyond this, the actual school systems of rural and urban areas would be compared - the differences in funding, ideology, resources, etc., would grant insight into the students’ experiences and goals there.
There are two kinds of factors why rural people seek for urban life. The first one is urban pull factor. They dream for higher wages, better housing and utilities, better school and hospital, more jobs opportunity, and more experience that they can get it all from a living in big cities as they think. The second one is urban push factor. We know that most of rural areas people are farmers. There’,s not much else to do anymore in the village but wait for harvest time and without higher level of education, availability of media, or facilities that they need, they might be stimulated to move to urban areas.
During the research study, I had a chance to visit five rural districts of Nepal where I directly
Ecotourism and wildlife tourism. The origin of ecotourism have been discussed throughout numerous different pieces of literature that can go back to the 1980’s, this was stated by Orams (1995) meanwhile Higgins later stated (1996) can trace notes back a further decade. The definitions of ecotourism can be linked to sustainable tourism and green tourism (Newsome et al.,2005) the definition of ecotourism includes geology, ecosystems as well as the local community and their cultures, this definition was given by Wallace and Pierce (1996). The purpose of ecotourism is for enjoyment and education in a close to untouched. Ecotourism has many different features such as the impact and management. There are
Entrepreneurship stands as a vehicle to improve the quality of life for individuals, families and communities and to sustain a healthy economy and environment. Rural entrepreneurship has emerged as a dynamic concept. If entrepreneurship really encouraged in rural area it would, of course, be instrumental in changing the face of rural areas by solving the problems of unemployment, poverty, economic disparity, poor utilization of rural capacity, low level of standard of living. The majority of the rural population depends directly and indirectly on agriculture based activities like livestock processing, agro processing, fishery, animal husbandry etc. Diversification into non-agricultural uses of available resources such as catering
