In our coursework we were trying to find out whether Malham is a slave to tourism

In the map of Malham there were two sides of Malham and they were split up by the malham river beck which on the left side there were more tourist buildings then right side and the left had more residential buildings but in both side there was more residential buildings then tourist buildings. I confirmed the left side had more tourist buildings because there was the main road this provided transport for load and supply at shops and hotels and the car park to provide parking for tourist and coaches with the shops to it as well this provide for malham to make money out of souvenirs that the tourist will buy or spend at the shop.

The left side had a you number of 83 buildings altogether on the left side and 19 were tourist attractions such as car park, hotels and shops ,53 were residential such as homes, farms and barns houses and which provide both were 11. on the right side there were a total of 75 buildings and 11 were tourist attractions,61 were residential and 3 were both so this tell me that the left side of malham is mostly for tourist attraction and right side of Malham has more residential houses so this proves my prediction was wrong

In Malham mainly signposts and footpaths are the main reasons that cause malham to be a slave to tourism because it causes more tourist to come to Malham and these signpost and footpaths were made for tourist to be used for tourism as well as for residential people and the most of signposts that lead and help the way for tourist people to know where they are going in Malham and these signposts were made by people to cause more tourist. The footpaths I have seen on my visit to Malham was the pennieway and this was also only build for tourism to attract more tourism but the pennieway had a lot of footprints and it the state of the footpaths was like it has been here for several years and as goes with signpost because they were also rusted up. These features cause people come to Malham so this also slightly proves that Malham is a salve to tourism. There are some pictures of signposts and footpaths that I have used to prove that Malham is salve to tourism

Now I am going to compare Malham to where I live to see what the differences are where I live to Malham. In my area there are not many features that are for tourist accepts roads names and 1 main signpost for ways to go to other place like Haworth and wilsden and this feature is for tourist to know where they are going. There is a lot of residential houses in my area the rough guess would be about 200 but this might not be accurate and there is a lot of open spaces such as farms, fields and animals so my area is not a slave to tourism and neither is Malham in some cases because in Malham there is a lot oft residential houses as there are in my area. So I have a found out that Malham is in come extend a slave to tourism.

In Malham if there weren’t any tourist attractions Malham would not be able to make enough money and bring enough tourist here to spend money on Malham and if this didn’t happen Malham would not be losing anything because there is enough residential houses already for residential people to spend on it but in some places in Malham people own the land and tourist might want to visit the site but they cant unless by permission so this can also cause hassle in Malham because of some owned land and this is not a worry for Malham because they are already making enough money and using it on malham to maintain this national park until it remains clean and well maintained for both tourist and residential people to live on Malham.
