Tourism area/resort life cycle model






Exploration: Small numbers of visitors are attracted by something particular. For example; good beaches, attractive landscape, historical or cultural features. Local people have not yet developed many tourist services. 

Involvement: The local population sees the opportunities and starts to provide services for the visitors. 

Development: Large companies build hotels and leisure complexes and advertise package holidays. Numbers of tourists dramatically rise. Job opportunities rise.

Consolidation: Tousrism is now a major part of the economy. Numbers of visitors are steadily making employment more secure.

Stagnation: The resort becomes unfashionable and numbers of visitors decline

Rejuvenation: Attempts are made to modernise the resort and attract different people to enjoy new activities. 

Decline: Visitors prefer other resorts. Day trippers and weekenders become the main source of income.
