I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Defying gravity and going through upside down loops with the wind in your hair, and eating seafood with Poseidon and Neptune. I am proposing an amusement park where people meet paradise. This new park will include Australian society and themes to formulate it uniquely for the area, such as an aquarium water tour of the Great Barrier Reef and the creatures that have been liberated from there. The various paranormal activities will be enjoyed by people of all ages and it will establish memories that they will never forget and treasure forever, even as they follow our treasure map (park map). In resemblance to the Australian theme, the park will be named GJT's Paradise Park. You have been advised that this park is Rated N for anyone. The very themes that Australia conjures are of interest to all types of people on earth. The Australian community will even be fascinated at the presentation of their own culture in such a fun and educational way. All of Australia is surrounded by water and wildlife because it has no one to share boarders with but that does not leave any exception. Especially, when we go into the very depths of the water where we witness the clash of the Titans. Just as we humans know to put aside our differences and negotiate circumstances, Poseidon and Neptune take our guests on an excursion of the sea avoiding a great white shark by a few

MARKET INFORMATION Chiplun is a small town on the Mumbai - Goa highway in India. (NH 17). It is about 250 km south of Mumbai. It is situated at the foothills of Sahyadri Mountains in Ratnagiri district and known as Parashuram Bhumi. The city lies on the banks of the river Vashishti.

Case Studies Appendix 1 Appendix 2 Executive summary Tourism is one of the world's fastest growing industries at present and holds the status of the world's no. 1 industry. In India, tourism has the distinction of being the third largest export industry after gems, Jewellery and readymade garments still India's share of the world tourist traffic is a mere 0.51%. The non-tourist countries like Malaysia and Indonesia get much more tourists than India. For our study we have confined ourselves to the international tourists coming in India. The study is based on published data. We started with reviewing what India offers to a foreign visitor and what is the current status of the tourism industry. Then we proceeded to see what is the government doing to aid tourism The next phase of our study deals with the analysis of the tourism industry under the following parameters. * Political/Legal * Economic * Social * Technological In the course of our study, we realized that tourism is not a stand-alone industry. It is supported by various other industries like the hotel industry, airline industry, the railways, road networks, the tour operators and the government. These together have
London Attractions Comparison
Tourism Industry- South Bank Attractions This coursework will be focussing on three attractions on the London's South Bank. There will be a comparison between the three attractions, and similarities will also be included. There will also be an explanation of what they each have to offer their customers, and what types of visitors they attract. Furthermore, there will be an explanation of the way in which they are promoted and marketed. I and a class friend went to Waterloo in order to visit the different attractions. We decided to choose the London Eye, the London Aquarium and the Tate Modern art gallery. We carried out personal observations on what types of visitors were mostly visiting, and collected leaflets and brochures to help us find out about the basic information on the attractions. I also used websites to research on information about the three London attractions. The Tate Modern was created in the year 2000 from an abandoned power station in London. Tate Modern displays the collection of international modern art and art since 1900. It includes modern British art, and artwork from artists like Picasso, Dali, and Warhol. It is located near Blackfriars Bridge and opposite St. Paul's Cathedral. "It has become a very popular destination for Londoners and tourists." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tate_Modern, 2007) The London Eye or also known as the Millennium Eye is

the notting hill carnival
Module: Arts and Events : Theory & Practice Code: LT2020N "The Notting Hill Carnival" Student : David Moradeyo ID: 04013923 Seminar Tutor: Maggie Gold The Notting Hill Carnival The aim of this case study is to use theoretical perspectives to analyse an arts or events activity that clearly integrates diverse concepts of the arts or events activities such as tradition, identity , authenticity ,invention ,boosterism and imperialism. The event selected here has the features of both an art and event activity, the Notting hill carnival can be described as an event and an art activity in the sense that it is an organised event that celebrates the arts of music , dance , costumes and heritage. The Notting hill carnival is the second largest arts festival in Europe and it is held in central London, with Ladbroke Grove being the centre of the carnival, dating back to 1966 the Notting hill carnival has become a huge multi cultural arts festival attracting over 2milllion people and also becoming a major tourist attraction in London. The Notting hill carnival originated from the arrival of Trinidadians in great Britain, they were inspired by the carnivals organised in Trinidad which motivated them to create something similar to what they experienced back home resulting to a small number of people carrying steel drums and costume parades in the streets of Ladbroke grove and
The study of tourism may be approached from a variety of academic backgrounds or disciplines, each providing a valid basis for explanation and argument.
The study of tourism may be approached from a variety of academic backgrounds or disciplines, each providing a valid basis for explanation and argument. (Sharpley 1994:1) Compare and contrast two of these approaches and referring to specific types of tourists, analyse their contribution to our understanding of their characteristics and behaviours. This essay will look at two academic approaches and discuss there similarities and differences. The two approaches chosen for this assignment are the socio-cultural approach and the economic approach. While discussing these two approaches the assignment will refer to specific types of tourists and it will analyse the contribution the tourist makes to the understanding of their characteristics and behaviours. Firstly the assignment will look at the socio-cultural approach. Socio-cultural impacts of tourism include both positive and negative outcomes. Socio-cultural problems include: overcrowding, loss of traditional and crafts, distortion of local customs, alteration of religious practices, loss of languages and loss of authenticity. On the positive side, tourism can contribute to the revitalisation of neglected regions and customs, the rebirth of local arts and crafts, and greater understanding between different cultures. Many people consider that the negative socio-cultural impacts of tourism are far more harmful than harmful
In this piece of coursework I am now going to look into the different factors of key developments from the post-war growth in the travel industry.
E1 A clear explanation of the key post-war developments that have supported the growth of the industry, and a description of the key characteristics of the present industry In this piece of coursework I am now going to look into the different factors of key developments from the post-war growth in the travel industry. Socio-economic circumstances This is basically the term given to the combination of post-war social and economic factors that have effected the travel industry. The first factor I'm going to investigate in this section is the increase in car ownership, followed by the increase in leisure time and lastly the increase in disposable income. Increase in car ownership Car ownership has increased over the years as statistics show that most households now have access to one or more cars. Car ownership per family UK % 961 971 981 991 2000 2 cars 3 8 7 22 27 car 33 48 44 42 45 0 cars 64 44 39 36 28 Source 'The Wider World' Pg137, David Waugh, Publisher: Nelson As you can see from the statistics above, car ownership has increased over the past 40 years quite rapidly. Compared to the 3% in 1961, 27% of families now own 2 cars. This is an increase of 24%. However in the last 40 years the number of families having one or two cars has doubled from 36% to 72%. This has obviously affected the travel industry tremendously. Everything is
