General Influences on Destination Awareness
Daylight Savings Time
Anywhere between 23.5 degrees North and South of the equator
In some countries in certain times of the year, clocks are set forward 1 hour.
Catastrophic: all criteria very negative, outlook grim
amount of disposable income; employment status; size of household and number of children; number of trips taken last year; amount of free time; age and health status; cost of transport in terms of time and money; personal preferences, needs and wants.
Factors limiting destination choice

Model of tourism development, created by R. W. Butler to describe the stages that a destination will go through:
1 - Exploration
2 - Involvement
3 - Development
4 - Consolidation
5 - Stagnation
6 - Decline or Rejuventation
Tourism Area Life Cycle (or Product Life Cycle)

Lattitude
lines that indicate a location's position East or West of Greenwich
lines that indicate distance away from the equator
Greenwich Mean Time. The point at which time zones around the world are derived from. Located in Greenwich, England. Also known as Coordinated Universal Time.
Longitude
lines that indicate a location's position East or West of Greenwich
lines that indicate distance away from the equator
Greenwich Mean Time. The point at which time zones around the world are derived from. Located in Greenwich, England. Also known as Coordinated Universal Time.
International Date Line
lines that indicate a location's position East or West of Greenwich
lines that indicate distance away from the equator
imaginary line on the surface of the earth opposite the Greenwich meridian where the date changes as one travels East or West across it.
anywhere between the poles (North and South Poles) and 66.5 degrees North and South
Between 23.5 and approximately 30 degrees North and South of the equator
Equatorial Latitudes

Destination Outlook Scale
In serious trouble
Influence of humans on the climate of the world in a negative way.
All destinations have carrying capacity and can be altered through overuse. In other words a destination is perishable.
locations under investigation for damage use a score from 1 - 10 to determine how damaged they are/could be
Destination Perishability
In serious trouble
Influence of humans on the climate of the world in a negative way.
All destinations have carrying capacity and can be altered through overuse. In other words a destination is perishable.
locations under investigation for damage use a score from 1 - 10 to determine how damaged they are/could be
Destination Outlook Scale: 3-4

Warm Temperate Climate
In some countries in certain times of the year, clocks are set forward 1 hour.
e.g. Brazil's Amazon region. Hot, wet and humid all year
e.g. The Mediterranean. Hot, dry summer and cool, wet winter
Temperate Latitudes -
Between approximately 30 and 50 degrees North and South of the equator
Destination Outlook Scale: 5-6
In moderate trouble: all criteria medium-negative or a mix of negatives and positives.
Cultural Appraisal is whereby an individual's final choice of destination is strongly influenced by the values and attitudes they are exposed to.
Destination Outlook Scale: 10 is whereby facilities at a destination are available for use by tourists and host population
