more. 1850's, people believed in healing waters in Blackpool. 1870's people were
able to work 5 days a week, meaning holidays on weekend. 1894, Blackpool tower
was built. Blackpool has decreased in tourists lately as short haul flights are so
cheap. £300m was spent rejuvenating Blackpool in 2000. They built a super casino,
however attracted the wrong type of tourists. Brilliance lighting at night in town.
John's Square. Houndshill Shopping Centre and the beach also.
- BUTLER'S MODEL
- 1. Exploration - Small number of tourists visit area
- 2. Involvement - Local people are starting to become involved
with it and provide some services/facilities (e.g cafe/ picnic area)
- 3. Development - Changes for the better. The
area becomes recognised as a tourist destination
- 4. Consolidation - The area is attracting many tourists but
it's not growing as fast as it did before and levelling out
- 5. Stagnation - The facilities decline as they become
old and run down. Tourists number declines
- 6. Rejuvenation - Money spent in the area so tourist numbers increase
- 6. Decline - If the resort is not rejuvenated then it will go
into decline, people loose jobs and image suffers
- IMPACTS OF TOURISM
- Benefits
- Tourists spend money in the local
area (shops, restaurants, hotels).
Creates jobs (hotel, chef, staff,
maid). Community benefits from
facilities. Multiplier effect - improved
image, more people, more money,
more facilities. More culture meaning
more tolerence
- Costs
- Pollution by cars. Litter.
Traffic/Congestion. Noise from
drunken. Pickpocketing and crime.
Loss of culture (McDonalds near
Pyramids of Egypt). Money leaked
back to other countries through
imports.
