LESSON 2 MIDTERM Flashcards
It is a tool guide the development of tourism in a protected area by
creating and representing the vision of all the stakeholders wile fulfilling
the conservation objectives of the site
ECOTOURISM MANAGEMENT
PLAN
It should result in a document expressing the stakeholders’
recommendations for how ecotourism is to be carried out in a particular
area.
ECOTOURISM MANAGEMENT
PLAN
should be open and transparent. Once it is
completed, it must be publicized and distributed to stakeholders.
The PLANNING PROCESS
The plan could be written as a separate document or included in the
general management plan for the protected area. T or F?
TRUE
Who
participates in
the planning
process?
*Protected Area Staff
*Community Participants
*Specialist / Scientist
*Nonprofit Org / NGOs
*Government Agencies
*Tour Operators

potential opportunity - Preliminary Site Evaluation

Any planning process cost money, and an EMP is exception.
Money will be needed to pay for. T or F?
FALSE
There are basically four different sources of
funding for an EMP.
International Assistance
National Sources
Local Communities/Governments
Tourism Industry
is about inclusion and involvement of all concerned.
Ecotourism
Providing enough tourism supply to meet the anticipated
demand is a challenge for the tourism planner or
manager
MATCHING SUPPLY WITH DEMAND
can be function of the persons propensity to
travel and the reciprocal of the resistance of the link between
origin and destination areas
DEMAND TO A DESTINATION
determined
largely by his or her psychographic profile and travel motivation
PROPENSITY
Relates to relative attractiveness of various
destinations. Such as Economic Distance, Cultural Distance, Cost
of Service, Quality of Service and Seasonality.
RESISTANCE
Relates to the time and cost involved in
traveling from the origin to the destination area and back
ECONOMIC DISTANCE
Refers to the extent to which the culture of the
area from which the tourist originates differs from the culture of the host
region
CULTURAL DISTANCE
This variable captures the familiar inverse
relationship between the price of a good or service and demand for it
COST OF SERVICE
The higher quality of service, the lower the
resistance
QUALITY OF SERVICE
The higher quality of service, the higher the
resistance. T or F
FALSE
The destination will depend on the time of the year for
which a vacation is demand.
SEASONALITY
SEVERAL MEASURES OF ACTUAL DEMAND
- Visitors Arrival
- Visitors days or Visitors nights
- Amount Spent
is a statement about the future value of a variable of interest some
examples of the uses of forecast in business organizations
FORECAST
consist mainly of subjective inputs,
which often defy precise numerical description
Qualitative methods
involve either the projection of
historical data or the development of associative models
that attempt to utilize casual variables to make forecast.
Quantitative methods
Rely on analysis of subjective
inputs obtained from various sources, such as consumer
surveys, the sales staff, managers and executives, and panels
of experts
UDMENTAL FORECAST
Simply attempt to project past
experiences into the future.
TIME SERIES FORECAST
Use equations that consist of one or
more explanatory variables that can be used to predict demand.
ASSOCIATIVE MODELS
Forecasters rely
on judgment and opinion to make forecast, if they have to make forecast
quickly, where there not enough time to gather and analyze quantitative
data.
FORECASTS BASED ON JUDMENT AND OPINION
This approach is often to used as a part of
long range planning and new product development
EXECUTIVE OPINIONS
Members of the sales staff are often good
sources of information because of their direct contact with consumers.
SALESFORCE OPINIONS
Consumers ultimately determine the demand
therefore it is only natural to solicit input from them
CONSUMER SURVEYS
This method involves circulating a series of
questionnaire among individuals who posses the knowledge and ability
to contribute meaningfully.
DELPHI METHOD
refers to a long term upward or downward movement in the
data.
Trend
refers to short term, fairly regular variations
generally related to factors such as the calendar or time of day
Seasonality
This
can often be accomplished by merely plotting the data and visually
examining the plot.
FORECAST BASED ON TIME SERIES DATA
are wavelike variations of more that one years duration
Cycles
are due to unusual circumstances such as
severe weather conditions, strikes or major change in a product or
service
Irregular Variations
are residual variations that remain after all
other behaviors have been accounted for.
Random Variations
The natural resources that
any area has and available for the use and enjoyment of visitors
Natural Resources and Environment
- These include the Infrastructure and
Superstructure develop within or upon the natural environment.
Built in Environment
This sector of tourism industry represents what
many of the general public perceived as tourism.
Operating Sectors –
Its culture, which
consists of the language, customs, and religions of the residents of the
region.
Spirit of Hospitality and Cultural Resources
