3018THS Destination Management - Griffith University

In groups of three (3), you are required to conduct an analysis for a destination and develop a destination management strategy to develop and manage a target tourist market to the destination. Groups must select one of the eight destinations listed below:

- Paris, France
- Phuket, Thailand
- Hong Kong, China • Rome, Italy
- Auckland, NZ
- Los Angeles, USA

The project should be undertaken from the standpoint of the regional Destination Management Organisation (DMO), for example, the Hong Kong Tourism Board, Gold Coast Tourism, etc.

Destination Management Strategy - Part A

In order to develop a comprehensive and high standard destination management strategy, your group first needs to complete extensive background research and analysis of your selected destination. This analysis is to ensure that as much relevant information about the current (and possibly past) operating environment is gathered and understood, so that an appropriate destination management strategy can be developed.
In conducting this analysis, you will need to consult with industry resources (e.g., plans, reports, etc.) as well as academic literature to identify trends and challenges in the current operating environment.

Your task:

The task is to research and present an analysis for a destination of your choice (from the list given) and present your analysis in a group report. This analysis should cover the following points:
• The policy and operational environment of the destination
• Key stakeholders
• Demand for the destination
• Issues and challenges that the destination is facing, including COVID-19, and post COVID-19 implications.
Group members will work together to collect background information, exchange ideas, and prepare the report for their selected destination. The report should be approx. 2,500 words (±10%).
You may have learnt tools such as PESTLE analysis, SWOT analysis, competitor analysis, visitor analysis, etc., in other courses. You can use these tools to assist with your analysis. Please do not include detailed descriptions of the analysis tools in your report, instead use these tools to provide background for your strategy and the key issues facing your destination (i.e., the results of your analysis).
