Having a tube station and a bus terminal has a big effect on Southgate’s environmental quality.
Although the ideas of development and planning are complex and challenging to define and study,
there is a strong agreement on the academic and societal relevance of their research in tourism
geographies: tourism is a growth industry which requires holistic and future-oriented planning
measures that minimize the negative externalities of tourism and guide the industry's growth towards
a development path. Furthermore there is a market place close to the CBD which will furthermore
attract people closer to the centre. Only 20 residents thought that vandalism and crime was an issue,
while 13 residents believed that no problem had occurred as a result of tourism. Also the fact that the
Cromer Council refuses to develop the area shows that Cromer may not have a good economic future
as the council will not develop the area for all age ranges. Fig. 17 (Traffic on West St) Interpretation-
This photograph was taken on West St in the afternoon and shows the environmental impact of
tourism on Cromer. To browse Academia.edu and the wider internet faster and more securely, please

have previously studied the impact of tourism in an LEDC (Kenya), and I think it will be beneficial
for me to study the impact of tourism in an MEDC (U.K). Also tourism is a rapidly growing
industry which can greatly benefit Britain as it is a tertiary industry, and has many benefits so it is an
important topic to study. They said that the council won't listen to new ideas to develop the area as
elderly people will not visit that much. I chose these sites as both are popular with tourists and the
beach is an area of beauty which should be looked after. This information is from the 1991 Census
so it is secondary data. Therefore the further away from the town centre the number of pedestrians
decrease. Summary The woman in the Church said that over the years she has seen change in
Cromer, as more businesses have closed and also in the tourist area as fewer holidaymakers come to
the resort. This graph shows that a lot of the residents of Cromer think tourism is a good industry and
is beneficial to Cromer. Most of the tourists believe that Cromer should be developed to suit younger
people. Spatial analysisThis is interested in the real distribution of phenomena, in this case aspects of
tourism, and in the flows of people, products, information and money which unite areas. The data
was also reliable as I knew it was primary data. Multiplier effect is if companies in the same country
own the companies. This shows that although Cromer receives money from the tourism industry, it
has not necessarily been spent on improving the employment rates in Cromer. Leakage is if
companies abroad own companies in other countries. The vegetation is also becoming a lot greener as
there is more grasses and other types of vegetation. Out of the nineteen shops surveyed 10 are tourist
dependent. Whilst in the non-commercial sector, the stakeholder would expect to see that the
interests of a group of people are being met and that their money is being used appropriately. This
means items bought less frequently such as furniture. I think this method was reliable as I was only
counting the shops I saw and there weren't really any factors that would've affected my data
collection. Also Southgate has a big residential area surrounding it so therefore there are only locals
commuting to Southgate. Our customer service team will review your report and will be in touch.

highest value was 281 and it was next to the tube station, the lowest value was along Bourne Street
and was 50. Geography Fieldwork - The effects of Tourism in Keswick. Hitchin has many
pedestrainised areas resulting in less pollution and congestion and of course Hitchin has a parking
area there a lot more people can walk rather than driving everywhere. The flow charts help me
answer one of the enquiry questions; on tourism offering Cromer a good economic future.
In1931, Christopher Addison chaired a government committee that proposed a 'National Park
Authority' to choose areas for designation as national parks. This graph tells you that tourism hasn't
had a good economic impact on Cromer as a lot of the residents choose not to work there as it
doesn't have enough opportunities. During it, ice sheets covered most of Britain north and the
Midlands and changed the landscape by glacial erosion and deposition. In the UK alone, 10% of
total employment is in the tourism sector. The aim was to examine their views on tourism
development, in an attempt to establish overall desired directions for tourism development and to
suggest effective tourism strategies and policies to reinforce positive outcomes and alleviate
problems resulting from previous unplanned tourism development. The rate of inflation is the rise in
prices of products and can affect whether people buy certain products and when a holiday increases
in price then consumers will look elsewhere if they feel the holiday is not value for money. But from
the map you can also see that the shopping area (Church St, West St) have a considerably low
environmental quality. The maps show Europe, East Anglia, Norfolk and Cromer. It then falls but
rises again before falling to a measurement of 7.81. It then rises again before falling again to an
average pebble size for the long axis being 9.1. The short axis for the pebble size starts at 2.16 and
then it rises significantly to 10.26 but then falls at Stop 3. Examples of organizations that produce
statistics are. As well as the growth in tourism allowing more people to travel abroad it has also
created jobs for many people. However, interest in tourism in urban areas has expanded to include
investigations of tourism in large cities, economic restructuring, urban heritage and special
events.Geographers have also examined summer cottages, parks and protected areas, and wild erness
travel and experiences in rural and remote areas (see rural tourism ). This graph could also help to
show that Cromer doesn't have a very good chance of having an economic future as tourism hasn't
helped to improve job opportunities and employment levels. Fig. 15 Interpretation- This radar chart
shows the different jobs residents in Cromer have. The conclusion has a good topic to it (fragility)
but is a little weak in terms of its structure and wording. I found this data to be quite reliable as the
whole class was allocated different part of Cromer to comment on and put our results together. The
name, South Street, gradually fell out of use during the 19th century. This shows that many
businesses in Cromer need tourism and would suffer greatly if tourism in Cromer declined. These
parks are within easy reach of both urban and rural conurbations, they all have motorways running
near them which make them all easy access sites. Hitchin is larger and is more of an all day shopping
area. It shows how many shops on Church St are tourist dependent. Particular attention is called to
the spatial aspects of this development. Their opinion on ways to develop Cromer was to have, more
attractions for teenagers such as skate parks and brand shops. The water is also getting deeper as the
river is now entering its middle course. I also chose to ask my questionnaires on Church Street, and
Garden Street as both are the main shopping streets. I chose to complete my survey on Church St
because there are a lot of high street shops. It shows that the majority of residents, believe that
tourism brings money to Cromer therefore benefiting services such as schools, hospitals and parks.
Although the data that I found out was useful to my coursework I didn't find this method to be as
reliable as it could've been. This shows that the residents of Cromer believe tourism has an immense
economic impact by bringing money into the area and improving services. Fig.1 also shows that 30
residents believe tourism creates jobs, this shows that there is an economic impact, as there is a
higher level of employment and job prospects. Reviews Select overall rating (no rating) Your rating

keep people interested and attracted.
There are more rock features and also distributaries as the river tries to find the place of least
resistance in its journey down through the mountain. Environmental Mapping Another method I used
to collect data was environmental mapping. Location- In the location I will use four maps at
different scales to show the location of Cromer. Physical processes Physical geographers study the
forces which act to modify the surface of the earth, such as water, wind and ice. This photo helps to
answer one of the enquiry questions, as it shows an environmental effect of tourism in Cromer. This
problem has also, already been shown in the flowchart and may lead to Cromer not having a good
economic future, as people will choose to go to other resorts as they are more accessible. Fig. 10
Pedestrian Count - Pictogram Morning: 0:46- 0:56 Afternoon: 2:16- 2:22 Late Afternoon: 2:20-2:30
Key: Interpretation- The above pictogram shows the results from my pedestrian count, which I
completed on Church St. Summary The teenage resident's view of opportunities for them in Cromer
was not prospective. I will compare a flow chart showing the growth of a traditional seaside resort,
with a flowchart showing the growth of Cromer. From the pictogram, it is clear to see that it is
mostly elderly people that visit Cromer, with 30 been counted in one 10 minute period. For example
the hurricanes that hit Florida would have affected the tourism there in the summer months. I had to
write down the name of every fifth shop, the products it sells, the amount of shops and whether the
shop was aimed at tourists or residents. This means that it can have more comparison shops and it
will keep people interested and attracted. I chose to collect this data in the afternoon as this was the
time both tourists and residents would be out. This data was collected to see if tourists increase or
decrease things such as the amount of litter and so on. Her opinion is that Cromer will remain the
same; it will not develop industrially or diversify into other ways of attracting a wider range of
people. There is a high level of litter, vandalism and trespassing on Honey pot sites which causes
discomfort and trouble to those who live there this has sparked off a conflict between local farmers
and tourists which has caused, restricting tourists access to footpaths, bridleways and separating
activities, e.g. Water Skiing and Angling. This survey helps to answer the enquiry question as it
shows the economic impact of tourism by there being a high amount of shops that rely on tourism.
Looking at my stacked bar graph there wasn’t much noise except for the high street. This means that
the majority of tourists think Cromer has a good future whether it develops or not. To collect the
information, I only needed a pen, clipboard and four copies of my questionnaire. Finally, it was not
an attempt to provide a rationale for the way tourism is, or should be, structured for academic study.
I found this method very effective as the final data used was not from just one person, but a large
group of both tourists and residents, so I also had a mixture of different opinions. I will also annotate
each map and give a brief description about the location of Cromer. I will highlight Cromer on every
map and also any roads where I completed my surveys. My methodology will include location maps
showing where I collected some data and asked interviews, as well as copies of my surveys. Services
such as restaurants, shopping complexes and transport services are all examples. The data was also
reliable as I knew it was primary data. Write a review Update existing review Submit review Cancel
It's good to leave some feedback. Good explanations which relate directly to the topic being written
about. I believe this would improve the reliability of my results as the time I collected the data would
be more spaced out.
I match the age profile and I am in good health by playing tennis a couple of times a week for a club
and playing football with friends every week. This shows that tourism hasn't had a good economic
impact as many residents choose not to work in Cromer. Fig. 15 and 16 helps to support this, as it
shows that most residents questioned have low paid jobs and that the businesses they work in rely
heavily on tourism and without it they would suffer. Location- In the location I will use four maps at
different scales to show the location of Cromer. Thomson sells packages to travel agents who buy
the products. This has also led to the further developments of package tour holidays with the
transport and accommodation all been included. Interviews For me to find out general opinions on
Cromer, I carried out five interviews in quieter places such as New Street and the beach. From the
graph you can see that tourism abroad, has improved while tourism in the UK has improved it is still
unsteady. This shows that the economic impact hasn't been as impressive as it could be as there are
hardly any jobs in Cromer that don't rely on tourism. The land in Southgate is mainly used by
commuters and people living locally. Motorways have shortened the journey time and brought Luton,
a few miles away on the Ml, and the A1 (M) even closer. I will use the enquiry in Cromer to study
similar issues,and also sustainable solutions to the impacts of tourism in Cromer. It shows the amount
of pedestrians that were on Church St at different times. The name, South Street, gradually fell out
of use during the 19th century. This shows that the economic impact hasn't been as impressive as it
could be as there are hardly any jobs in Cromer that don't rely on tourism. Then at the top of this
structure would be shops, which sell comparison items, like a large TV or a home appliance. As a
result, policy implications emerging from the results presented in this thesis are discussed and future
strategies are suggested. The application of research findings to practical problems such as statewide
recreation plans is evidence that non-geographers value the contributions of recreational geographers.
These are convenience goods and are bought more often. Its goal is to promote Britain to the rest of
the country and the rest of the world. The DCMS encourage and help the tourism industry to
improve what it has to offer for all visitors and to promote a positive image abroad. Review 1 Select

address on ADNEXAL MASS- APPROACH TO MANAGEMENT in the. It shows that the
majority of tourists believe traffic to be a problem, which is the same belief as the residents of
Cromer in Fig. 2, this proves that traffic is a major problem in Cromer and as a result of this tourism
does has an environmental effect in Cromer, as it causes pollution. Her opinion is that Cromer will
remain the same; it will not develop industrially or diversify into other ways of attracting a wider
range of people. This survey can be compared with Fig.12, which shows that the majority of
residents believe Cromer has a good future in tourism. Both Fig.16 and 12 show that Cromer is
dependent on tourism for a good economy. The World Tourism Organisation estimated there were
694 million international tourist arrivals in 2003, a drop of 1.2 per cent (attributed to the problems of
the Iraq conflict, SARS and a generally weak world economy). Once the money from grants and
donations have been allocated, it is unlikely an organization will be able to generate additional
funding. The second most common job is a builder with 4 out of the 20 people questioned. I will use
my class notes and secondary data including graphs and statistics to do this. There has always been a
close relationship among tourism, exploration and the description of foreign lands and their peoples.
The construction of the Merryhill Shopping Centre has caused huge problems in Dudley the local
CBD. Visit Britain markets Britain to the UK as well as the rest of the world to build on the value of
tourism in Britain and throughout the year by creating world class destination brands and marketing
campaigns. All of this information is important to me as it will help to answer my main enquiry
questions, on whether Cromer has a good economic future and what the impact of tourism on
Cromer is. There also isn't many people staying for 2 weeks, this is because Cromer doesn't have as
many hotels compared to other resorts or tourist destinations. Introduction To complete this piece of
coursework, we went away on a weekend geography field trip. Summary The teenage resident's
view of opportunities for them in Cromer was not prospective. The economic impact means the
effect on jobs, the economy and whether tourism brings enough jobs and money to Cromer. It has
influenced flight bookings with the introduction of easyjet.co.uk and jet2.com for example where
cheap flights are available and influenced how hotel rooms are booked. But saying this Cromer has
no big amusements and not as many hotels today. There were two anomalies in the graph; the first
was because this point was the closest to the CBD making it the densest. Out of the people
questioned, the most common job is a shop assistant (7 out of 20 residents), which is a relatively low
paid job with long hours. This is a copy of my traffic count before it was completed. Dr. NN Chavan
Keynote address on ADNEXAL MASS- APPROACH TO MANAGEMENT in the. Thomson own
airline, ferries, accommodation and coaches and are selling all of this as one to the travel agents.
From the map I can see that the areas near the beach have a high environmental quality based on
factors such as litter, attractiveness and traffic noise. Also Southgate has a big residential area
surrounding it so therefore there are only locals commuting to Southgate. Environmental Quality
Survey To help me find out the environmental impact of tourism on Cromer, I used an environmental
quality survey. Traffic Count In order to help me answer my first enquiry question about the
environmental impact tourism has on Cromer; I had to complete a traffic count to find out if tourists
increase the level of traffic. This graph can help to answer the second enquiry question, as is it shows
what the residents of Cromer think, and the interpretation shows the reasons why Cromer may have
a good future, and also why it may suffer as a tourist destination. Fig. 13 Interpretation- This bar
chart shows whether tourists think Cromer has a good future in tourism. Geography Fieldwork - The
effects of Tourism in Keswick. The TICs will work closely with commercial companies within the
local area, for example promoting accommodation, restaurants, guide services and excursions.
Interpretation- The map on the opposite page shows my results from the business dependency
survey. This chart can be linked back to the enquiry questions, as it is clear to see that a large
majority believe traffic is an issue, and this means it has an effect on the environment by causing
pollution. It is a phenomenon that increasingly demands attention. Hitchin has car parks where as
Southgate have pay and display areas so there are very few areas to park. You can now book each
aspect of the holiday separately and many people have recognized this and now you can easily book
flights and accommodation on the internet for cheaper than going to the travel agents which have led
to problems for the travel agents. This shows that although Cromer receives money from the tourism
industry, it has not necessarily been spent on improving the employment rates in Cromer. Objectives
in a non-commercial organization could include. Traffic Congestion is also a problem and this shows
the environmental impact, tourism has on Cromer and may also lead to an economic problem as it
may result in loss of tourists. This graph can be linked back to both of the enquiry questions as it is
clear to see that, a lot of residents believe that tourism has a good economic impact on Cromer by
bringing money to the area, which can be used by the local council to improve services.
They attempt to delimit areas with common human or physical characteristics, such as a similar
landscape or a similar dependence on tourism, and to understand the relationships which exist in
particular places between tourism and other activities, such as agriculture, forestry or urbanization.
Conclusion- The conclusion will include the answers to my enquiry questions, and recommendations
for the future of Cromer Evaluation- In the evaluation, I will question the reliability of my methods,
and decide whether my results and conclusions are accurate Location Map of Europe Map of East
Anglia Map of Norfolk Map of Cromer Cromer is a small town in North Norfolk, in the East Anglia
region. National and regional tourist boards, together in local authorities play a key role. Some of the
reasons given for this belief were that it is a well loved resort, friendly environment and the scenery
is beautiful. I chose these sites as both are popular with tourists and the beach is an area of beauty
which should be looked after. Location: Church St Below is a scanned sheet which I used to collect
the data for my environmental mapping survey. I also chose to ask my questionnaires on Church
Street, and Garden Street as both are the main shopping streets. Boulder clay is also present on top
of which vegetation has formed. In this section of the coursework I will explain what methods I
used, how I collected data and why it is relevant to my investigation. Because tourism is a growing
industry, employment in the industry has grown by 25%. This means tourism helps to keep the area
clean to promote the area as a tourist destination. The rest of the class also had to do this and all the
results are going to be used to create a large sample. This graph can be linked with Fig. 2 which
states that residents think the most common problem of tourism is traffic congestion; this thought is
proved by this graph as it shows the high traffic levels. After a site was given a score for each topic,
the overall score was worked out. Interpretation of Fig. 9 The following page has a map showing the
results, from my environmental mapping survey. It then rises significantly to reach the largest average
depth of 23 before falling, rising and then falling again to finish the average depth at Stop 10 being
8.67. Ryanair now offer package tour type weekend breaks, focusing on golf, spa and leisure
outdoor breaks and packages, themed around sport and music. The figure has been reached
following the outbreak of foot and mouth and the events on September 11 th in 2001. Cromer is
about 180km away from London, and accessibility to the resort is poor. As a result, policy
implications emerging from the results presented in this thesis are discussed and future strategies are
suggested. Focusing on the island of Crete, this study recognises tourism as a highly visible and
controversial component of change. An alternative method would have been to ask the local council
for statistics such as crime rates during tourist seasons and the amount of tourists that visit each year,
but I didn't choose this method because I wouldn't have been able to get information such as
residents opinions on tourism and details of where tourists travel from. This survey is useful to me
because as well as showing the economic impact of tourism, it will show if Cromer relies heavily on
tourists. This has become a popular way of travel in Europe after the channel tunnel was open. Her
opinion is that Cromer will remain the same; it will not develop industrially or diversify into other
ways of attracting a wider range of people. There are a high density of pedestrians and cars causing a
lot of congestion through the high street. Her opinion is that Cromer will remain the same; it will not
develop industrially or diversify into other ways of attracting a wider range of people. It then falls
before rising slightly and then rising again. Another method I could have used would be to write to
the local council and ask for figures in the amount of people that come to Cromer. This graph can be
linked with Fig. 2 which states that residents think the most common problem of tourism is traffic
congestion; this thought is proved by this graph as it shows the high traffic levels.
Conclusion- The conclusion will include the answers to my enquiry questions, and recommendations
for the future of Cromer Evaluation- In the evaluation, I will question the reliability of my methods,
and decide whether my results and conclusions are accurate Location Map of Europe Map of East
Anglia Map of Norfolk Map of Cromer Cromer is a small town in North Norfolk, in the East Anglia
region. At the bottom of this hierarchy are the small shops that sell convenience items, like bread or
milk (everyday items). They are awarded star ratings for the range of facilities and services provided.
I also had to decide what street to use for my traffic count, I chose Church Street because it is
popular with tourists as a lot of the shops are aimed at tourists. Blocks of rock can then fall on to the
glacier from the valley side above. Pedestrian Count To answer my enquiry questions on the
economic impact of tourism on Cromer and if tourism offers Cromer a good economic future, I had
to do a pedestrian count. They attempt to delimit areas with common human or physical
characteristics, such as a similar landscape or a similar dependence on tourism, and to understand the
relationships which exist in particular places between tourism and other activities, such as
agriculture, forestry or urbanization. In summary, the environmental quality map shows a lot about
the environmental quality in Cromer and how tourism affects the environment. The application of
research findings to practical problems such as statewide recreation plans is evidence that non-
geographers value the contributions of recreational geographers. Although tourism has allowed these
changes the economic impact is very unsteady as there have not been any long term changes such as
the building of a local sixth form or university, so that there are better prospects for Comers younger
residents. Introduction To complete this piece of coursework, we went away on a weekend
geography field trip. From the map I can see that the areas near the beach have a high environmental
quality based on factors such as litter, attractiveness and traffic noise. This environmental survey was
done in four different places. This shows that the economic impact hasn't been as impressive as it
could be as there are hardly any jobs in Cromer that don't rely on tourism. From the chart you can see
that most of the jobs are either in the primary or secondary industry, with only a few in the tertiary
industry. This graph can be linked back to both of the enquiry questions as it is clear to see that, a lot
of residents believe that tourism has a good economic impact on Cromer by bringing money to the
area, which can be used by the local council to improve services. The V-shaped valley is also less
steep but the river is wider than previous stops. This survey is useful to me because as well as
showing the economic impact of tourism, it will show if Cromer relies heavily on tourists. The
following page has a copy of the results from the tourist's questionnaires. An alternative method
would have been to ask the local council for statistics such as crime rates during tourist seasons and
the amount of tourists that visit each year, but I didn't choose this method because I wouldn't have
been able to get information such as residents opinions on tourism and details of where tourists travel
from. This survey helps to answer the enquiry question as it shows the economic impact of tourism
by there being a high amount of shops that rely on tourism. I chose these sites as both are popular
with tourists and the beach is an area of beauty which should be looked after. Only 20 residents
thought that vandalism and crime was an issue, while 13 residents believed that no problem had
occurred as a result of tourism. Here are some pictures to show why Keswick is a honeypot site
because of its breath taking scenery. Holiday representatives range from 18 to 65 years of age, and
must be in good health. Keswick has excellent an excellent road system and is easy to reach being
just 20 minutes along the A66 trunk road from junction 40 of the M6 motorway. I used my sphere of
influence map for Hitchin and my bar chart for Southgate made from information collected from my
questionnaire. The land surrounding the river is the river’s watershed and underneath it is peat. The
increase in car ownership obviously goes hand in hand with an improvement in the transport system
of the UK which since the 1950’s has seen improvements in roads especially motorways and urban
by-passes have resulted in driving times between places reduced and encourage people to travel more
frequently and greater distances. Whereas before the 1990’s people would have to go to different
shops such as the groceries and the butchers and then preparing all the separate ingredients which
were very time consuming.
