Goals and strategies for expansion are as follows.
Objective 1: Provide a more upscale service and facilities
At this phase of our development, and with the goal of developing Kaho'olawe, we want to improve the outlook of tourism on the island to make it more valuable for the upscale market. The current development is not suitable for the luxury or more discerning traveler. Therefore, future plans will encourage upscale and niche luxury travel. The expansion will further improve local infrastructure by financially benefitting the local community.
Strategy 1: Build cabins
Cabins will be built using local materials, when possible, to create architectural works of art that are also sustainable. The aesthetic of the resort will be in keeping with the natural surroundings. Low-rise buildings that do not interfere with or detract from the natural beauty of the area will encourage visitors from returning to the resort again and again.
Strategy 2: Build fine dining restaurants
The architecture and engineering of communal facilities like the restaurants will also be sustainable, using local materials. Food served in the restaurants will be locally sourced and organic, focused on fresh Hawaiian delicacies.
Strategy 3: Local product stores
Tourists who want to purchase souvenirs should not be conscripted to buying cheap trinkets made in sweatshops. Instead, we will be committed to a 100% Made in Hawaii policy, with as much emphasis given to local artisans.
Objective 2: Additional Services
Strategy 1: Healing outdoor spa
One primary goal is to develop an ecological spa and healing center. The spa and healing center can utilize local plants and be based on traditional Hawaiian healing practices. Both adults and children can enjoy spa treatments.
Strategy 2: Meditation center
Both adults and children can enjoy guided meditations in formal class settings, or alternatively, personal time spent alone in the meditation center. The meditation center will be designed with the same aesthetic and building principles used for the...
Moreover, paved roads will invite a greater number of tourists and lead to increased tourism revenues. Objective 2: Developing the Cultural educational center Currently, there are no formal tourism facilities at all on the island of Kaho'olawe. Through effective marketing and advertising strategies, the proposed cultural education center will invite individuals across the globe to know the essence of Hawaiian culture by visiting the island of Kaho'olawe. Visitors to Kaho'olawe will
Over Reliance of Tourism for GDP in Developing Countries The tourism sector has the ability to promote as well as sustain a nation’s economy. But being over-dependent on tourism will prove potentially harmful for unindustrialized nations. One clear example of the consequences of overdependence on tourism is that of the scenic Republic of Maldives, which was mainly reliant on tourism for economic development and sustenance. The nation declared an emergency last
Another case study, this one by Cole (2011) examines the cultural and community impacts of tourism, both sustainable and unsustainable, on specific cultures in Indonesia. Cole concludes as well that in order to help keep the cultural and community influences and positive attitudes intact, it is important to consider the local community as a major stakeholder in the sustainability of a tourist destination. Cole states in her article, "Tourism has
Nytimes.com/2006/05/02/books/02bett.html [26 Apr 2013]] The main criticism levied against Kinzer's work is the question: where was the American public during these escapades? After all, if America is a democracy, do they not have responsibility for their leaders' actions? Sadly, they cheered their leaders on, or ignored what was being done in the name of their nation. "Only briefly does Kinzer touch upon the U.S. citizens who questioned government tactics in foreign
Sociology, one of the biggest areas that are receiving continuous amounts of focus is the inequalities that exist. Recently, disparities in income levels have become much larger. This is because the top 1% (who controls the majority of the wealth) is earning more at the expense of the other 99%. These are individuals that have to work every day (often controlling little to no amounts of personal assets). Throughout
