AOHT PHT Lesson 4

A well-known, useful theory is the Tourism Area Life Cycle was developed by Richard Butler in 1980.

• True
• False

In the Exploration Stage of the Tourism Area Life Cycle, all of the following are true except 

• hardly anyone knows about a particular place.
• there are very few hotels and restaurants. 
• natural surroundings are unspoiled.
• many hotels become run-down.

In the Exploration Stage of the Tourism Area Life Cycle according to Plog's Model, the kind of tourists most likely would be 

• traditionalists. 
• innovators. 

Tourist that have a strong sense of adventure and seek out the world's least visited places are called

• innovators. 
• traditionalists. 

The stage of the Tourism Area Life Cycle where a small number of tourists come to the location regularly and local residents start a few tourist-related businesses is called

• exploration.
• development.
• consolidation.
• involvement.

In this stage of the Tourism Area Life Cycle, there are so many tourists and tourism related businesses, if building and expansion continue, the area will suffer and unspoiled natural areas and a strong sense of the local culture is called

• rejuvenation. 
• decline.
• stagnation.
• consolidation.

In the Consolidation Stage, according to Plog's model tourists that frequent destinations at this stage are called 

• innovators.
• traditionalists. 

Tourists that prefer familiar food, music, and activities are called 

• innovators.
• traditionalists.

In this stage of the Tourism Area Life Cycle some aspects of the destination show signs of wear and tear; many hotels become run-down, local environment is polluted and many species can not longer survive. 

• Involvement 
• Development
• Consolidation
• Stagnation

In the stagnation stage of the Tourism Area Life Cycle, tourists looking for package deals and inexpensive options would still visit a destination in this phase.

• True
