Llandudno Fieldwork
The study area in question is the town of Llandudno located in the
North East of Wales on the date of 15th July 2004. Llandudno is a
growing tourist hotspot and is a popular destination for tourists from
the north west of English, although long distance travellers alike
enjoy the lush scenery and the vast verity of attractions this
beautiful town has to offer. Map A:
Map A shows the location of Llandudno, and as you can well see from
the map it is highly accessible from many of the main cities across
the U.K such as the M56 from Manchester and Liverpool link onto the A
road, A55 that leads almost right into the centre of Llandudno. Also
it is highly accessible from other methods of transport such as via
train, as a train station leads right into the heart of Llandudno, and
many tourists travelling from further a field may well choose this
method of transport.
The aim of this coursework is to find 'Does tourism benefit the
economy, locals, and environment? And to find out 'if tourism is
managed in a sustainable way which does not lead to a contrast of
interests?'
The hypotheses I will create in this project will be creating a number
of hypotheses to prove my key questions correct. These hypotheses will
be:The main land use on Mostyn Streetis shops; Most people who visit
Llandudno are aged 60 or over, Environmental quality changes with
distance from the seafront…
We were set into groups of around 6 people and created a number of
questionnaires and surveys that would be suitable to ask the general
public of Llandudno. These questionnaires include: a land use survey,
this was used to see how many buildings, and how many different types
of buildings there were, and how many empty buildings there were and
how many specialist shops there were around Llandudno such as tools
shops and green grocers. From this data we can get a good indicator on
how well a resort is doing.
On January 14, 1964, police got a search warrant and raided Loma del Angel Ranch (Blanco, n.d.).
In the state of Durango Mexico in the late nineteenth century there was an old prison, which was located in what today is the center of the capital, called "The Death Cell because every prisoner who entered the cell 27 dawn mysteriously died. This distressed situation to jailers and prison authorities. the decision made was that this place is locked up only dangerous prisoners, because in this way would be doubly punished and in turn serve as a lesson to other criminals.
If I were to visit anywhere in this world I would visit Cancun , Mexico. There are many things to do such as climbing,snorkeling,and extreme sports. There is also an amazing view. Mexico offers endless possibilities for adventure. There are plenty of oceans , deserts , forests , and jungles.
More times than not, stallions mount dummies because horses are much less docile in reproductive situations than cattle are. In most situations, artificial insemination is also safer for the humans involved in the process as well. Though we consider horses are the most-likely to be considered companion animals out of all the livestock that we have domesticated thus far, they are also one of the most dangerous when it comes to mating and copulation. Mares and fillies are much more likely to try to fight back when being mounted than cows or heifers are. In commercial situations, such as the thoroughbred industry, this causes lots of problems. While it is still done, it is much less likely for owners to turn out the stallions with a herd of mares
Tourism impacts can be generally classified into seven categories with each having both positive and negative impacts. These impacts include; economic, environmental, social and cultural, crowding and congestion, taxes, and community attitude. It is essential for a balance on array of impacts that may either positively or negatively affect the resident communities. Different groups are concerned about different tourism impacts that affect them in one way or another. Tourism’s benefits can be increased by use of specific plans and actions. These can also lead to decrease in the gravity of negative impacts. Communities will not experience every impact but instead this will depend on particular natural resources, development, or spatial patterns (Glen 1999).
The prairie is facing several problems that threaten not only the wellbeing but also the existence of plant and animal species. Habitat loss, overgrazing, and pollution are ruining the prairie ecosystem. The habitats of native prairie animals are being destroys and converted into farmland. Prairie grasses are being uprooted, which are a vital food source for prey animals. When these prey animals do not have enough resources to sustain their current population, their decreasing numbers create ripples across the food web. Loss of prairie grasses is also a problem for animals that live create nests inside them to shelter them and their young. Another side effect of habitat loss is that as the amount of land decreases, the population density increases
The American frontier is strongly eminent from the European frontier. And yet, as one studies the history of the American frontier, the Europeans played a ‘key’ role in settlement. When the Europeans entered the belt of the Atlantic Ocean, and stepped onto the sandy shores of the American coast, one wonders. How did they transform into an American, so different in contrast from the demanding, harsh environment of Europe? They brought the European ‘germ’ with them, and as years moved on, it developed into the American germ-full of independence and a stubborn resolve.
The Braying Llama site begins with Stratum 6 which shows evidence of a hunter-gatherer society. There are no signs of agricultural practices or domestication, however, there are bones of animals that would have commonly been hunted for food. The 35 total animal bones either represent a small hunter-gatherer society or a seasonal hunting ground. Most the debitage is Blue Mountain obsidian which shows contact with other people and a preference for obsidian to make tools. There were not many tools excavated and no evidence of projectile points meaning the people most likely hunted by hand.
Tourism in Britain is incredibly important, making up “around 10% of the UK economy” (Britain's Tourist Industry). The result is a £127 billion industry that “employs 3 million people” (Britain's Tourist Industry). The massive industry is only expected to grow, contributing to a doubling in the value of the industry and adding “£12 billion a year by 2025” to the economy (Tourism to Bring £257bn to UK Economy). The traditional aspects of Britain, like the round-...
The Impact of Tourism in the Last 30 Years on Urban Areas in the MEDW
We talked about the first type which is the economic effect on the local community and the second type that is the social effect on the host community. In this part of our essay we will represent the last kind of effect on the local community by tourism. It is the environment effect on the local community. Tourism has positive and negative aspects in term of its impact on the host community. First point, tourism can help to protect the environment through reinvest some of profits, that generated by tourism, to the preservation of local environment and make it popular destination for holidays. However, it can cause pollution and damage in the environment through overuse of natural resources, such as water supply, beaches and coral reef. It also account for increased pollution through traffic emissions and littering. Additionally, tourist accommodations in general dump waste and sewage into seas and rivers. Second point, it might reduce some problems such as over-fishing by creating another source of employment. According to Tourism Concern, tourism account for more than eight per cent of jobs in the world wide and there are approximately two hundred million people work in the tourism sector on all sides of the world. (Tourism Concern, 2004). As a result a lot of people will abandon works in fishing and deforestations and tend to works in tourism industrialization. On the adverse side, it can harm the environment through polish off grass cover, harmful to wildlife and forests and grave local habitats. (BBC,

Tourism is an important and intricate element to society. It affects economical, social, cultural and environmental elements. Tourism can be argued to have a negative impact on the environment and decrease our already depleting resources, but tourism can also be argued to be a major contributor to strengthening economies, spread cultural traditions and improve people’s lives. Tourism
The area within a destination where tourism activity occurs – how concentrated is it? Are the tourism activities/sites dispersed? Consider the locations with the greatest opportunities and needs.
In the more economically developed countries (MEDCs), synonymous mainly with the industrialised countries of the northern hemisphere there, has been an explosion in the growth of leisure and tourism industry, which is now believed to be the worlds second largest industry in terms of money generated. In order to differentiate between leisure and tourism it should be recognised that leisure often involves activities enjoyed during an individual’s free time, whereas tourism commonly refers to organised touring undertaken on a commercial basis. Development in the two areas could be attributed to changing patterns in working lives within the last four decades. Generally, people now have more disposable wealth, work shorter hours, receive longer, paid annual leave, retire earlier and have greater personal mobility. In addition, according to Marshall & Wood (1995), the growth of the tourist industry per se can be associated, in part, with the concentration of capital; the emergence of diversified leisure based companies, sometimes within wider corporate conglomerates and often associated with particular airlines. Furthermore, the development of tourism can generate employment both directly, in jobs created in the hotels, restaurants etc, and indirectly, through expenditure on goods and services in the local area. Nevertheless, although the tourist industry is competitive, which essentially keeps down the cost of foreign travel, the success of tourism in any one area can be ‘influenced by weather, changing consumer tastes, demographics, economic cycles, government policy, not to mention international terrorism and other forms of conflict.’(1) Although such factors may have a detrimental affect on the economy of a popular tourist destination (or even tourism in general, in light of September 11th 2001), the consequence of tourism in general is often three fold: environmental, social and cultural, which in turn has prompted a search for new ‘friendly’ approaches that are less destructive.
