The importance of tourism in climatic-extreme destinations
Seminar paper from the year 2022 in the subject Tourism - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,3, language: English, abstract: This paper is about the importance of tourism in climatic-extreme destinations. Using the Coachella Valley and Mount Everest region as case studies. The main aim of this research is to highlight the economic impacts on the local community to prove that both destinations are highly dependent on tourism. In the last chapter, the devastating economic impacts of the covid pandemic - as a contrary situation - on each destination are observed to substantiate the importance of seasonal tourists. Resulting, more concrete statements on tourism dependency will be made, as worldwide travel restrictions and lockdowns led to a slump in the tourism industry, directly affecting the local economy. It is a well-known fact that the tourism sector can contribute to the economic growth of a region. This is why the tourism industry plays a crucial role in destination development - both directly and indirectly. As a result, tourism generates a variety of social benefits for a region like the creation of new jobs, infrastructural improvements and allows small-sized enterprises to grow. Consequently, tourism is even more important for seasonal and climatically challenging destinations to guarantee the survivability of the local community during the low season with hardly any tourists. Therefore, it is highly relevant to illustrate this positive influence in more detail. Throughout the entire paper, case studies of two different and climatically distinct destinations will be used: The Coachella Valley as a desert in California and in contrast the Mount Everest region with unpredictable temperatures combined with a lack of oxygen. There is no doubt that Mount Everest attracts significantly more spendy adventurers every single year. In addition, the Coachella Valley in California is primarily drawn by over 250,000 visitors in April from all over the globe to attend the f
The fundamentals and strategies of nature based tourism and ecotourism
Essay from the year 2022 in the subject Tourism - Miscellaneous, grade: 2,0, language: English, abstract: This essay is about the fundamentals and strategies of nature based tourism and ecotourism. Ecotourism, which is a type of alternative tourism, is separated into two categories: "hard" and "soft" ecotourism. Hard ecotourism is characterized by a scientific interest in the environment, biodiversity as well as wildlife. Hard ecotourism is the most opulent type of ecotourism, frequently involving a lack of hotel accommodations or other amenities. Sleeping at an environmentally friendly campground is one illustration of hard ecotourism. General or "soft" ecotourism, which is similarly based on a fascination with nature, adopts a less intense approach. Hiking is prevalent, although it is regarded a recreational activity rather than a conduit for environmental research, as it would be in hard ecotourism. Ecotourism is not designed to have negative environmental implications, but given the lack of clarity about what constitutes sustainable practices, this could happen inadvertently. As a result, it is critical to explain those negative consequences, as well as the necessity of management strategies as a tool for reducing or even eliminating those consequences. Nature-based tourism is a broad word for tourist practices that require people interacting with the earth in ways that are distinct from humankind's usual activities. Regardless of the fact that pristine countryside is desirable, tourists often want modern conveniences and tailored items. There seems to be a conflict between desired and ideal levels of growth and development because it is incompatible with the fundamental vision of eco - as well as nature-based tourism.

Exploring the determinants of satisfactory shark tourism experiences from the participants’ perspective in Gansbaai, South Africa
Gansbaai, a small coastal town in South Africa, is considered "the shark cage diving capital of the world", despite there being over 40 shark tourism destinations worldwide. However, Gansbaai has one outstanding feature which few other destinations have: great white sharks. Because of this, Gansbaai attracts visitors from all over the world who travel to the area with the expectation to witness this particular species, making it an international hotspot for shark tourists. However, in recent years, a decline in the great white shark population has been widely reported in the media. The decline of the shark population is not only a problem for South Africa, but globally. Today, 172 shark species are already on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Yet, South Africa is one of the few places on earth where humans have the opportunity to interact with this species at close range. The outcry is great, as the impact on the South African shark industry has been profound. It seems that this has also had an impact on the satisfaction of the participants, as an ad-hoc analysis of online ratings shows. This is critical for the industry, as potential participants nowadays take their cue from the experiences of previous people.The main reason for this is the confusing plethora of tourism services available today. Therefore, the online review platform TripAdvisor has become a reliable source for travel decisions. Accordingly, analyses of online reviews have become particularly popular in the tourism and hospitality industry as it allows service providers to gain insight into what influences consumer satisfaction. This shows the importance for tour operators in Gansbaai's shark industry to understand what influences visitor satisfaction in order to adjust their concepts sustainably. Therefore, the aim of the study is to identify the factors which influence visitor satisfaction in the shark tourism industry in Gansbaai based on TripAdvisor reviews.
