QUESTION 1:

According to McElroy and Albuquerque (2002), sustainability in an island setting seeks to conserve a widely shared stream of income by creating an adaptive competitive destination through the ongoing direction of participatory community planning without unacceptably sacrificing socio-cultural and natural integrity of the advantage base. In contrast, Jafari (2000) argues that tourism has always been a double-edged weapon for islanders.

(a) With a positive reception of the polarized opinions above, describe the specific characteristics governing island tourism.

(b) Discuss the troubles and challenges that a large country like Canada may face in implementing a sustainable tourism development scheme as compared to a small island like Mauritius

(c) In an attempt to placate Jafari's argument, outline and elucidate the different analyses that may be conducted to evaluate a tourism project. Authenticate your steps with supporting evidences.

QUESTION 2:

Goeldner et al, (2000) opine that to be able to interpret the idealism of ecotourism into reality, a number of core indicators need to be identified so as to seek specific cause-effect connection between tourism and its environment.

(a) As tourism planners, significantly discuss the core indicators that underpin sustainable tourism whilst illustrating your answers with relevant instances.

(b) Elucidate how those indicators may help tourism planners achieve sustainable tourism expansion target.

QUESTION 3:

The PEST framework which prompts companies to consider Political, Economic, Social and Technological factors, a rather broad bush form of examination, is scarcely adequate for tourism suppliers (Peattie and Moutinho, 2000). A more comprehensive approach which seriously touches sustainability issues is the SCEPTICAL analysis. Significantly discuss each of these factors with respect to sustainability subjects matter at any tourism destination of your choice

QUESTION 4:

In contrast with conventional mass tourism which has endured sustained criticism, the notion of alternative tourism has been positively entertained in sustainability literature since the 1980's. Significantly discuss and analyze how alternative forms of tourism can contribute to a more sustainable tourism industry. Support your arguments with instances.
