Tourism has a great impact on environments, communities and economies

According to publicity, the holiday confused at Carlyon Bay go away be a dazzling jewel, believably to sound one of Europes most glamorous seaside destinations.The proposed site at Carlyon Bay, Cornwall, near Fowey would arrive new jobs, businesses and more sight to the demesne, leading to the multiplier core, yet would destroy a fragile environment and beautiful scenery.The plan site would consist of 500 holiday homes, hotels, shops, bars and restaurants to the already pop holiday destination.Local council spate are concerned the discipline pass on put too much pressure on topical anaesthetic roads, creature comforts and would prove a severe loss of a well-liked mile pine beach.Peter Browning, spokesman for the Carlyon Bay Watch, opposing the training tell, The development is just on the whole inappropriate for the area. Not precisely will it damage the environment it will double the size of the community and put huge stress on the infrastructure. One persons dr eam house is a nonher persons nightmare.The planning permission for the 511 homes was give in the late 1980s and the Ampersand Group bought the site, which continuees from the top of the cliffs high watermark, give way year.Ampersand claim the project will be ecologically imaginative and gravel a flowing design, it is also said to blend in.Cornwall wildlife trust wants an environmental impact assessment to be carried outas the site has rare plants heath milkwort, bell heather and eye satiny yet Anderson argues it bought the planning permission before this was necessary.Although Ampersand claim the project would be beneficial to the area, creating 600 jobs, the area is already high in employment and the think development could discourage some people from visiting as it would let on the serenity of the area.One local resident was reported to say these types of development sacrifice more in common with third world countries where on that point are secure enclaves for the ric h, with little or no benefit for the local population- there will come a time when we will only be able to walk along the coastal footpath and appear down on the beach from a furthest.Carlyon Bay is also a 1995 Seaside Award Winner, winning points for its cleanliness on land and sea, and for its excellent facilities, pair together with safe bathing, water sports, and trouble-free leisure, it is already a phaetony and amply developed site in many eyes.Clive Kessel vice chairperson of the Restormel regeneration partnership said the development could bring money into an area that has suffered economic hardship. He denied that the development would harm the environment and dismissed concerns close access, he conceded that it would have an impact on local infrastructures but said work would be done to emend local roads and people would be encouraged to use public transport to get there. some other developments of tourism in the UK have been successful. In Bournemouth for example, w here the tourism development have been very successful.Bournemouths economy has been built upon tourism and with nearly two jillion staying visitors and over four and a half million day visitors every year, Bournemouth is a top international resort and the tourist pains is decisive to the towns economy.In 1995 tourism generated 479 million of expenditure directly and also indirectly therefore supporting 16400 jobs. Direct tourism spent in Bournemouth accounts for 11% of that for the entire southern region. Tourism has also had a multiplier effect in Bournemouth bringing in retail, leisure and entertainment industries.Although this type of industry is appealing to Carlyon Bay, it is unrealistic. Carlyon Bay is not the same size as Bournemouth and does not have the same accessibility. It also has a very seasonal tourist industry.Although many people in Cornwall are against the development, Malcolm Bell, Executive chair of the local tourist board, southwest tourism, said it would cre ate jobs and hopefully bring in tourists all year although he didnt want to see similar developments springing up on other Cornish beaches. The council are pushing for the development to go through as they have already sold 150 of the houses plan to be built, it is financially and in the long term economically a positive thing for the council.In conclusion, Carlyon Bay has been successful and touristed up to this day, if the area has managed to sustain itself until now, we must ask whether this development is really necessary. The stretch of coastline planned to be developed is extremely beautiful and a popular site with walkers, holidaymakers, families and local residents. The development of this area may discourage these people from returning.I feel the development would not be a reliable idea as environmentalists and residents agree, the area has a fragile ecosystem and attracts many tourists anyway, the development would attract different people and the site could easily beco me gaudy and unpopular. On the other hand the development of Carlyon Bay would bring in more jobs and the multiplier effect would bring a break in economy and trade for smaller businesses, yet they have managed so far and the development would have other consequences too.Roads, amenities and other improvements would become very busy, good for the businesses yet this would lead to worse quality of service for the local residents as more cafes and other amenities place their accent mark on the tourists.Carlyon Bay won the 1995 Seaside Award and so is ostensibly already a gorgeous area, would the development of houses, entertainment facilities and restaurants really improve it? I think not.
