Diploma Thesis from the year 2001 in the subject Tourism - Miscellaneous, grade: 1.3, Heilbronn University, language: English, abstract: Often referred to as the 'smokeless industry', tourism has become one of the fastest growing, most dynamic sectors of economic growth in the world. Tourism is a key sector in many developing countries, which show potential. However, over-reliance on tourism, especially mass tourism carries significant risks to tourism-dependent economies. As a result, many developing countries have since espoused the principle of sustainability in shaping their tourism policies. However, few of them have been able to convert this into concrete action owing to the short-term economic interests to which, all too often, priority is given, to the detriment of protecting social and environmental assets. The purpose of this paper is to create and formulate clear, firm and equitable guidelines in a tourism policy concept that is set in the context of sustainable development and aims further to raise the competitive position of a destination. Theory will be demonstrated in practical terms in the case of the Caribbean tourism destination, the Dominican Republic.

Tourism development has been advocated for as a means by which to stimulate regional economic development in developing countries by international development agencies and governments seeking to transition from agricultural to industrial economies. First viewed as a purely private sector activity, tourism development planning was ad hoc or reactive to the demands of a quickly growing and highly dynamic industry. The externalities and negative impacts of rapid development and poor planning were quickly recognizable in small economies; high economic leakages, cultural encroachment, environmental degradation. When planning processes were undertaken, methodologies were derived from those of developed countries, proving not to be the most appropriate approaches to tourism development in lesser developed economies where administrative and structural capacities are weak or non-existent. Planning objectives also were heavily focused on physical requirements and financial outputs, all derived from identified market segments. Sustainable tourism development evolved from the recognition that the industry is dependant upon natural and cultural resources which must be preserved. Planning processes focus more on the capacity of these underlying resources, as opposed to simply meeting market demands for products and services. The integration of these resources as tourism amenities is furthermore thought to be crucial to sustaining the value of the tourism product. Nonetheless, sustainable tourism development planning is no better defined than its traditional counterpart. Implementation of planning processes, both traditional and sustainable, are challenging, especially in developing countries. This report seeks to identify fundamental differences in traditional versus sustaining planning processes for tourism in regards to vision, goals, objectives, strategies and performance indicators. The goals and objectives of sustainable tourism development are evaluated against national developmental indicators for socio-cultural, environmental and economic outcomes. A case study example is undertaken of the mass tourism destination La Romana-Bayahibe, Dominican Republic where, through the local private sector hotel association, the Interamerican Development Bank is funding the development of a "Sustainable Tourism Development Model". An evaluation of the established goals and objectives is undertaken with the aim of identifying rational performance indicators for evaluation of the project's impact.

In te summer of 1972, The Wall Street Journalcarried a front-page article by Jonathan Quitney poking fun at a fledgling resort on the east coast of the Dominican Republic. The thirty square miles of the then undeveloped land had been purchased bya group that included several notable Americans involved in labor and management, more as a lark than serious investment. In 1994, some 22 years after Quitney's jibe, The Wall Street Journal carried an account of the transformation of te land nder the headline "Jeers turn to Cheers." This book is an account of that transformation. In the words of President William Jefferson Clinton, this is "An important example of what can be achieved by people who are concerned with helping others as well as making a profit - I encourage you to read this book and learn for yourself how it all happened."

Tourism is a growing industry. If tourism projects are sustainable, tourism can be used by developing economies as a source of economic development. However, this is not an easy goal to achieve. This project reviews, through primary and secondary sources and field research, the important relationship between large resorts and the state that affects the outcome of tourism development in the Dominican Republic. It begins by outlining the problem of unsustainable tourism and then moves on to discuss sustainable tourism. It then places the Dominican Republic into the discussion and identifies the actors involved in the development of tourism. It examines how the relationship between those actors affects sustainable tourism development in regards to the environment, the tourism sector and the community. It argues that there is little consistency in the government civil service, and problems within the relationship cannot be rectified until the government itself becomes sustainable.

Redefining All-Inclusive is a proposal for sustainable tourism through the reuse of large scale resort building typologies. With the world tourism industry expected to reach 1.5 billion travelers by 2020, the reuse of the resort typology is becoming more prevalent. The all-inclusive resort is one that includes all amenities for the tourist under one roof, for a set price. However, this model often excludes the experience of the local people and culture and displaces them in their own country. This thesis proposes reusing an existing all-inclusive resort structure in a manner that redefines the meaning of all-inclusive to imply something that is all-encompassing of everyone, in order to generate an interface between a transient tourist population and locals.
