Report on Bird Park and The Open-air Market

Introduction
The aim of this report is to assess the popularity of Bird Park and the Open- air market amongst visitors
to the region. It will also consider how greater tourist numbers might be achieved in the long term.

Bird Park
This attraction was established in 1985 with the aim of providing a sanctuary for native bird life species.
It was opened to the public in 1990 and drew a high number of visitors for the next 10 years. They were
able to see birds in their natural habitat and also visit the Breeding Center where they could watch
young birds hatching. However, nowadays, the popularity of Bird Park has been declining and its
facilities appear to be deteriorated the rating. In other words, it looks old and tired.

The Open-air Market

Since 2011, the market has been throwing an increasing number of tourists. Although the stallholders
sell a wide range of handcrafted items, it is the traditional food that the tourists are mainly coming for.
The key reason why this attraction is more popular than Bird Park is the introduction of a new reliable
public transport network.

Recommendations
to increase the level of tourist numbers at the Open-air market, I would suggest that the tourist board
puts on additional evening buses to and from the city centre. As for the birth park, I feel that it requires
substantial investment from the local government for renovation and improvement of facilities. If these
proposals can be achieved, I would then recommend that the tourist board improves the website for
both attractions.
