For instance in the event of Asian games at Qatar itself, the activity was taken by Qatar Government yet then it took help of numerous private players with a specific end goal to ensure that all the required developments for the improvement in infrastructure of the nation are done on time (Bhuiyan, Siwar and Ismail, 2013).

2.2 The significance of interactive planning systems and processes in tourism development

In tourism, Interactive planning assumes a critical part as this sort of arranging puts stock in making a future by rolling out the required improvements in the present.

Interactive planning basically states that all the arrangements regarding upcoming tourist events shall be made in the present in an effective manner so that future problems can be avoided and better services can be provided to visitors and tourists (Sharpley and Telfer, 2015).

2.3 Different methods available to measure tourist impact

There are various techniques which are being frequently used, in order to calculate as well as measure the tourist impact, these are mainly of three types and are as follows:

• Carrying Capacity: It is the measurement of as to the number of people which can be gathered and will not have a negative impact on environment and quality of services which are being provided. There are some points which shall be kept in mind while calculating the carrying capacity. These are average time of stay, features of tourists as well as hosts, geographical concentration of people who comes to visit the country, type of tourism activity etc. Hence these were some of the factors, with the help of which the overall impact of tourist on any destination can be measured effectively.

Task 3

3.1 Justification of Introduction of the concept of sustainability in tourism development

Sustainable development can be regarded as meeting the needs of current generation without in any way sacrificing or compromising the ability of future generations for the purpose of meeting their needs. Under this, it is quite essential that certain rules shall be framed which can be imposed in order to make sure that that current and future needs can be met. So also the idea of maintainable tourism expresses that the necessities of the present visitors ought to be met yet not at the cost of the needs of future age. In the event that there will be unsustainable tourism there will be overcrowding, commercialization of industry, low nature of administrations, devastation of culture and condition etc.

A maintainable tourism is the one which will help in expanding the social and monetary advantages for the host nation, will limit the negative effects on nature, and get the best for the group, guests and nearby legacy (Alonso and Liu, 2012).

Qatar authorities shall make sure that right kind of sustainable development practices are being adopted within the region, which will not only help companies but also visitors as well as tourists. In general, it shall make sure that all the stakeholders get the benefits of sustainable tourism.

Economical tourism is the one in which least cost is required and the greatest advantage is given to the nearby social orders and the environment. The assets which are utilized can be utilized perpetually without making hurt them. There is no doubt about that tourism is one of the quickest developing enterprises in the present situation yet on other hand one can't disregard that numerous a times apart of regular living space, culture, and condition are harmed in creating tourism. Additionally, in the customary tourism style it is seen that the budgetary advantages don't reach to the Local groups and social orders. The sustainable tourism is uncommonly planned with the thought process to profit the Local groups and bunches from tourism that too without making any damage the regular living space and the earth (Lee, 2013). Subsequently the vast majority of the administrations alongside the private players are empowering Sustainable tourism within Qatar.

With a specific end goal to keep up their authencity, very little changes should be possible in them. Additionally, if a section or side is harmed, it is extremely hard to fabricate it in an indistinguishable manner from the craftsmen and works currently are not sufficiently fit to modify the things. The other issue is that with a specific end goal to make the place plausible for tourism, there are numerous different issues like contamination, clog, increment in the cost of things and so forth happens. These issues make problems to the nearby individuals (Tanguay, Rajaonson and Therrien, 2013).

Some other factors which hinder the sustainable development is the blindfolded infrastructural development that takes place, it is due to continuous facilitation of tourist that arrives there. Various types of Hotels, roads and restaurants are being constructed in heritage places to meet the demand of tourist, but this has affected the heritage value of those buildings and monuments. This has also lead to an increment in the overall cost of land, and local people were compelled to sell their lands and shift elsewhere.

• Implementation on new surveys: New survey shall be conducted in order to collect new information, which will help authorities in planning and forming strategies in an effective manner.

These assets which should be broke down could be fundamentally sorted in 4 sections: the first is resources assessment which helps to think about the present position of assets accessible like streets, airplane terminals and so forth. These aides in figuring the measure of investment required. The second one is showcase examination which focuses on the objective vacationers and tries to think about them.
