I. Classical Change Theory - The Life-Cycle ModelThis Destination, or Tourism Area, Life-Cycle has six stages that were initially defined by their characteristics: 1. Exploration__________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2. Involvement __________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 3. Development _________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
4.Consolidation_________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
5.Stagnation____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
6.Decline and Demise ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ......or Rejuvenation _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
II. The Theory of Species Evolution The concepts and biological terms of evolutionary theory which have parallels in the business sector
III. Punctuated Equilibrium model The punctuated equilibrium change paradigm proposes that systems remain relatively stable for prolonged periods (equilibrium) with rapid revolutionary change occurring periodically (punctuations).
IV. Chaos Theory Chaos theory considers dynamical systems that are not predictable. At high levels of complexity it is not possible to distinguish randomness from order.
Questions for self-control:
1. What are the differences between the terms “region” and “tourist destination”? 2. What are the main approaches to the definition “tourist (tourism) destination”? 3. Determine unique features that allow us to identify a tourist destination. 4. Specify the essence of Tourist Destination 6A Model. 5. What are the main reasons for different types of destinations visits? 6. Provide different types of destinations examples. 7. What typical attractions are found in different types of destinations? 8. What are the basic factors of destination development? 9. What are the main features for every stage of Tourism Area Life-Cycle? 10. Define the essence of The Theory of Species Evolution in relation to tourist destinations development. 11. Define the essence of The Punctuated Equilibrium model in relation to tourist destinations development. 12. Define the essence of The Chaos Theory in relation to tourist destinations development.
