Tourism is a type of travel for recreational, leisure and/or business purposes. Tourism is very important and for some countries it is vital. It has become increasingly popular and it has now become a ‘popular global leisure activity’. It is very important that tourism should be managed because if it isn’t it can ruin tourist attractions, scenery and beautiful landscapes. In order for tourism to be managed there needs to be facilities, such as litter bins because if there is litter everywhere people would probably not want to visit again, so therefore with litter bins there would be hardly any litter and people would want to visit again. Also there needs to be other vital facilities such as disabled ramps so everyone can access the place they are visiting’s attractions. The topic that I am working on at the moment is: ‘Strategies to manage tourism are more effective in some areas than others’ and my hypothesis is: ‘Management of visitors is more effective at The Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford upon Avon than at The Herbert Art Gallery & Coventry Cathedral, Coventry’. I visited both of these locations with the school. On Monday 28th May 2012 I visited Stratford and I had several sheets and a map to fill out to express my views on the place I visited. Included in these sheets I had: a Questionnaire (to ask people who live there what their views were of the place I visited), a Map of the place I was visiting (having to fill out what I saw onto the map for example: If I saw a shop I would have a key & add what the key said for ‘Retail’ onto the map, in the right place), a Accessibility Survey and a Bipolar Recording Sheet. We were basically expressing out views on what Stratford was like… On Wednesday 30th May 2012 I visited Coventry and yet again I had several sheets and a map to fill out to express my views on the place I visited.
