Introduction

Hunstaton is located in the north west of Norfolk. It is on the coast of the wash. Hunstanton is about 50 miles from Bury St Edmunds. It is on the east cost and faces west towards linconshire.

        

I think a successful tourist resort has Clean beaches, Litter free, No dogs allowed on beaches, Crime free, Attracts people from a wide sphere of influence, Facilities for disabled, Fun for all the family, Caters for all ages, Attractions. I think the most important one is clean beaches because most tourists go to sea side resorts for the nice and clean beaches. A successful tourist resort should attract tourists from a large sphere of influence and have things.

Methodology

In Hunstanton we collected information in many different ways. We started by doing field sketches which gives you a sample of the area and shows physical or human factors the first one I did was the sketch of the green. Second one was looking down the sea path towards the sea life centre. The final one was next to the bowling alley looking out to the sea. After doing the sketches we did a environmental survey of the Bandstand, Sea front, Amusements, Green and the town to find out theses things:

• Paving and road surface
• Litter
• Street Furniture
• Noise
• Parking
• Traffic safety
• Air pollution
• General Housekeeping
• Building Quality
• Open Space
• Trees/shrubs
• Advertisements

The next thing we did was a questionnaire this was a important for showing the success of hunstanton and peoples thoughts on hunstanton. We started our survey outside the sea life centre and interviewed people. We then did spent five minutes counting people outside of the sea life centre. This showed how many people there was and showed the areas which attracted the tourists.
