QUESTION 1

The Government of Mauritius has recently launched a new concept to give a new impetus to the tourism industry. The concept relates to a strategy based on a common regional label, 'The Vanilla Islands'. The aim is to pool the resources, expertise, international visibility and synergy of communication so as to provide the edge in the competition. This new concept will allow tourists to visit the Indian Ocean region as a collective destination through a package tour of all islands forming part of this treaty. The development and planning of such a tourism product indeed looks lucrative. However, Jamal and Jamrozy (2006) suggest that tourism destinations are complex as there are multiple stakeholders with varying degrees of influence over decision-making and no one individual stakeholder can fully control development and planning of the industry

(a) Referring to the above exposé, describe Cooper's (1993) components of a tourism destination. Support your answer with examples

(b) The implementation of the vanilla islands concept implies certain challenges. Using examples, discuss the challenges those islands might face during the development of the project
