Butler's tourist life cycle model (AQA GCSE Geography - Tourism)

-          Small number of ppl attracted. E.g. good beaches

-          Local people hasn't developed many tourist services yet

-          Local ppl see opportunities

-          → starts to provide accommodation, food, guides, etc

-          Large companies build hotels, and advertise package holidays

-          No. of tourists rise dramatically

-          Job opportunity of local ppl grow rapidly

-          Tourism = now major part of the local economy

-          Employment more secure as number of visitors are steady

-          BUT, some hotels and other facilitates = becoming old, unattractive

-          Numbers beginning to level off

-          Resort becomes unfashionable → visitors decline

-          Businesses fail

-          Decline: visitors prefer other resorts. Day trippers and weekenders become the main source of income

-          Rejuvenation: attempts made to modernise the resort and attract diff ppl to enjoy new activities. E.g. Blackpool
