Canada’s Wonderland attractions Samuel Tolera 500815003 HTT150: Tourism Concepts Tom Griffin October 16, 2017 Canada’s Wonderland Attractions Introduction Destination Management Organizations (DMO) is an organization that borders focus on development, product, and planning “that is involved in tourism and tourism marking on a regional, provincial, national and international scale.” (Phillips 2006; pg. 25).

These two organizations help promote and create special offers for Canada’s Wonderland. Phillips (2006) “Many York Region accommodators market special Canada’s Wonderland hotel packages throughout the summer season”. “Seasonality refers to a cyclical change in demand for a destination over the course of year” (Inkson & Minnaert 2012; 178), or ‘the temporal concentration of tourism’ (Pearce, 1989; 123). The seasonality in my destination is spring, summer, and fall. My destination operates in three of the four seasons of the year, spring, summer, and fall. Canada’s Wonderland is open from May 1 to October 31. The lowest time of it’s functioning season is May to June and September. The highest time of its functioning season is from July to August, and October. May to June and September is the low season because during this time their target audience, families and teenagers, are either in school or in work. They are able to reduce their cost in labor by closing the theme park earlier. They are able to do this …show more content…
Phillips (2006) noted Canada's Wonderland every year pulls in more than three million occasional guests to York Region. Visitors come fundamentally from Ontario, Quebec and the fringe U.S. States. Its developing rundown of highlights is the essential reason the recreation centre keeps on drawing guests. While huge numbers of the Park's guests originated from the Greater Toronto Area an extensive rate fly out numerous miles to encounter everything the recreation centre brings to the table. Often time’s guest would stay overnight in hotels to experience other tourist attraction in the York
The Management of Tourism at Hengistbury Head Introduction = == == == ==
I began working at Canada's Wonderland in August of 2015 and I have been recruited to return for the 2016 season. My job duties include customer service, ticket sales, ticket taking, parking tolls, seasons pass processing and data entry. In my position I was also recognized for selling the most number of season passes in a single shift.
Another factor was the type of vacations Europeans normally have. Instead of going on a lot of short trips, Europeans take a major break in July or August. The park was promoted as a place to stay a whole vacation, but since the Europeans spend more time on a vacation than three days, this conflicted with the European behavior. While staying at the park, the amount of days spent at EuroDisney was also disappointing: instead of the estimated three days Europeans just stayed two days, resulting in less revenues from hotels, restaurants and souvenirs. The general amount of money spent a day by an European customer was also lower than expected (in Tokyo a family spent 600 dollar, in Paris just 280 dollar).
While famous celebreties proclaiming “I'm going to Disney World!” is indeed just an add campaign paid for by Disney themselves, it easily brings to mind all the memories of famous theme parks you remember. Safe to say, Disney is not the only force to be reckoned with. Indeed, there are many theme parks today. Surely, most of my audience has heard of Busch Gardens in Virginia, or Knott's Berry Farm in Southern California. The Six Flags Theme Parks always have a jaw dropping number of rides. But very few hold something for both young and old vacationers. Fewer still actually have a resort within them. Even fewer have parades every night. Only one theme park holds all these, and is also several Theme Parks within itself. Disney World is just such a place. The park may close at night, but that doesn't mean you can't rent a Pirates Of The Carribean Hotel Room inside the Disney World Hotel and Resort for the night.
Disneyland has inspired hundreds of books, articles in academic journals, and college classes dissecting its magic and evaluating its impact. Since Disneyland’s opening there has been evidence to suggest that the Disney Company is owed credit for creating not only the first, but the most successful theme park in history. Walt Disney created a niche in what was a dying industry leading to Disneyland’s success that is still observed today as the most popular and most recognizable park in the park entertainment industry. Although Disneyland was not the first amusement park, Walt Disney did perfect the idea of an amusement park and give birth to the first ever theme park which blossomed into the theme park industry. The influence Disneyland commands as the first theme park has impacted American pop culture, society, economics, marketing, entertainment and tourism by creating what has been called the “Disney effect” by author Margaret King, Director of the Center for Cultural Studies & Analysis. The impact the “Disney effect” has had on America has been argued between historians, economist, and
For the introduction, brief information regarding my purchase and the travel and tourism industry is presented. It was then followed by the explanation of the 2 chosen theories from two different chapters.

Many of us have read Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland and sympathized with the main character, Alice. The audience wonders why all of the characters in Wonderland are so strange and no one seems to notice but Alice herself. The tale brings a chilling feeling to it’s audience because we wonder what we would do if we were surrounded by nothing but odd circumstances and mad characters. However, if we truly think about the story, is the population of Wonderland mad? Or is it Alice that is different and strange? After all, Alice is in their world not vice versa. With these next few paragraphs we will take an in depth look at Wonderland, it’s population and Alice to determine who is really mad here.
Some businesses, such as those in the fashion or cropping and harvesting industries, rely on the seasons for certain product sales. When the seasons change business owner, or their hired marketers, have to make adjustments to the market plan. The strategy used in this process is referred to as a seasonal marketing strategy. In retrospect the four seasons are of course spring, summer, fall, and winter. Seasonal marketing should be in sync with the seasons. Sure each season holds a significant holiday, but seasonal marketing is not always based on those holidays (Wagner). According to Vivian Wagner, author for E-Commerce Times, random seasonal events can sometimes acquire higher stature, than those of significant holidays. Tapping into the consumer’s way of thinking is critical to providing him/her with whatever products he/she wants when they are wanted (Wagner). In the fashion industry certain clothes sell better in certain seasons. Coats, jackets, beanies, scarves, gloves, etc. sell better in the winter and the fall. Whereas in the summer shorts, flip flops, and bathing suits sell best. With cropping and harvesting, particular foods can only be grown at particular times. Farmers’ Markets, taken under consideration, have certain produce items that they can sell in only certain months. Thus being said, seasonal marketing is important to the
Through out life people go through so many hardships. Whether it be good or bad there is always something that comes out of the situation. One of the most exciting but yet scariest events would be graduation. For a lot of people, graduating from high school is a goal. It takes a lot of time and effort to achieve that goal. In the long run, it opens a lot of opportunities for people to succeed. Graduation is the end of high school, and the beginning to life.
Growing up is a concept feared by many people, especially children. The future is scare because no one knows what will happen. Children are the most afraid of growing up because they are uncertain if they will make the right choices. The decisions one makes in life effects their future. This leads to children having mixed emotions about whether or not they want to become an adult. In the novel, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll uses symbols to show the themes of growing up and uncertainty of the future.
(2015) explains the importance of stakeholders with the tourism industry by explaining how each stakeholder influences the industry in offering new destinations, packaging destinations for new clientele, remarketing vacation destination and additional tour companies. Each industry stakeholder has their own agenda in achieving success, but the industry needs to work together in order to achieve success due to the highly competitive nature of business.

The industry stakeholders are listening to the customers and offering unique and exciting destinations, thus increasing sales and opening up the tourism industry into a new
Tourism is often associated with traveling to places away from home. Tourism has a big impact on the economic growth of some countries, which define the shape of their cities by producing different sectors like historic districts, convention centers, museums, malls, hotels, restaurants, and the list can be endless. Furthermore, tourism elements have been developed by cities for a variety of reasons including: situating themselves in the world by drawing a positive image and attracting visitors and for their money.
Destination management is a practice of leading and coordinating the management of all the elements that make up a destination that contribute to a visitor’s experience, while also considering the needs of the local community, visitors, businesses and the environment. The management of a destination takes a strategic approach to combine the planning, development and marketing as well as communicating how the destination will be managed physically, financially and operationally.
