TOURISM PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT

The most basic planning sequence was proposed by the British planning pioneer Patrick Geddes: survey-analyze-plan

• Basic Planning Model

• Systematic Planning Process

• Rational Planning Model

it can be said that this planning process is actually a cycle.

1. Decide to adopt planning

2. Set goals and Objectives

3. Study courses of action

4. Evaluate courses of action (cost-benefit analysis)

5. Select course of action

6. Monitor results

• Systematic Planning Process

• Rational Planning Model

• Basic Planning Model

Also known as synoptic planning and comprehensive planning, this approach was emulated from the urban planning tradition.

• Rational Planning Model

• Systematic Planning Process

• TRREC "VICE" Planning Model

a model that emphasizes the interests of Visitors, Industry, Communities, and the Environment (VICE).

• Situation analysis

This section provides an analysis of natural and cultural resources, tourism infrastructure, transportation, accommodation capacities, tourism administration and governance, trends in tourism arrivals and receipts, and identifies strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT).

• TRREC "VICE" Planning Model

• Situation analysis

• Goals, vision, and strategies directions

This section provides a detailed listing of specific activities over a five-year

period.

• Action plans/Timeline

• Goals, vision, and strategies directions

The cost estimates are ballpark figures of the amount of money that will be needed to carry out the strategies

• Cost estimates/Budget

• Action plans/Timeline

• Situation analysis

This step involves formulating the project TOR, selecting the technical team to carry out the study, appointing a steering committee, and organizing the study activities.

• Strategies

• Study Preparation

• Objectives

The second stage, background research and documentation, involves several methods. Workshops and seminars may be held to obtain inputs from stakeholder representatives in the area concerned. The main outputs or such workshops area vision statement, and identification of tourism sites. Site visits or ocular inspection are another method.

• Background Research and Documentation

• Study Preparation

The third stage is the formulation of objectives based on the information derived from the stakeholder inpüts during the workshop and site visits
