CHAPTER 1 – TOURISM PLANNING
MEANING OF PLANNING
PLANNING IS THE PROCESS OF SETTING GOALS, SELECTING ALTERNATIVE COURSES OF ACTION TO ACHIEVE THOSE GOALS, IMPLEMENTING THE CHOSEN ALTERNATIVE AND EVALUATING THE CHOICES TO FIND OUT IF IT IS SUCCESSFUL. PLANNING IS THE KEY TO THE SUCCESS OF ANY ACTIVITY.

THE NEED FOR TOURISM PLANNING
IN TOURISM, SUCCESS IS NEITHER GUARANTEED NOR PERMANENT. MANY AREAS HAVE EXPERIENCED TOURISM CYCLES WHICH START WITH FEW RICH VISITORS, PROCEED THROUGH A SERIES OF EXPANSION PROGRAMS, ATTAIN SATURATION, THEN GO INTO DECLINE. IF AN EVENTUAL DECLINE IS TO BE AVOIDED, RESPONSIBLE PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT ARE ESSENTIAL.A TOURISM PLAN AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM CAN PROVIDE GUIDELINES FOR AREAS IN WHICH THE GOVERNMENT AND THE PRIVATE SECTORS HAVE LITTLE OR NO EXPERIENCE ON HOW TO DEVELOP THESE AREAS. THROUGH AN INTEGRATED TOURISM PLAN, THE VARIOUS DIRECT AND INDIRECT ECONOMIC BENEFITS OF TOURISM CAN BE ACHIEVED.A RESPONSIBLE TOURISM PLAN IS A MEANS TO ATTAIN ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION OBJECTIVES THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT OF TOURIST ATTRACTIONS, FACILITIES, AND INFRASTRUCTURES.A CAREFUL TOURISM PLAN IS A MEANS TO ACHIEVE CULTURA CONSERVATION OBJECTIVES AND PRODUCE SOCIOCULTURAL BENEFITS.A GOOD TOURISM PLAN IS A MEANS IN WHICH THE NATURAL AND CULTURAL RESOURCES FOR TOURISM ARE MAINTANED, NOT DESTROYED, IN THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS. THE RIGHT TYPE OF TOURISM PLAN CAN BE USED TO INVIGORATE POORLY DEVELOPED TOURISM DESTINATIONS.CAREFUL PLANNING IS NECESSARY TO DEVELOP SPECIALIZED TRAINING FACILITIES FOR THE EDUCATION AND TRAINING FOR PARTICULAR MANPOWER SKILLS AND ABILITIES.
