Annotated bibliography

Create an annotated bibliography consisting of at least 8-10 sources that you will use in conducting your research for this report (at least 2 must be peer-reviewed journal articles).

The annotated bibliography consists of your reference plus a paragraph (at least 3 sentences) below which describes how you will use this particular source. It should also provide a critique of the source (i.e. is your information reliable?).

Cover page and table of contents

Create a cover page and table of contents which will outline how you will address the questions listed below for the report.

Introduction

Write the introduction for your report and address the following:

  1. A brief history of tourism in your chosen location. For example, is your location a well-developed tourism destination with solid organization and continued growth, or is tourism a relatively new undertaking with little organization?
  2. The present demand for tourism based on a review of available tourism statistics (present this data in a table or in a visually appealing point format – be creative!). Include information such as:
    • Number of tourists and the revenue they generate
    • Origin of the tourists (i.e. where do they come from?).
    • Purpose of their trip.
    • A description of the key months/key seasons for visitation. When do most arrive? Are there opportunities to increase visitation at other times?
    • Information about the evolution of visitation over the past 10 – 20 years (e.g. increasing, decreasing, stagnant)
