A part of my Research regarding a Middle Eastern country's development, Includes the application of Butler’s Tourism Area Life Cycle Model, My Question is, are the outcomes of the TALC module worth publication aside from the original Idea of my research?
Hello Ms. Karima,
TALC model demonstrates the changes happening at a tourist site over a period of time. you may also add another dimension to compare the study by taking into account of the Tourist Experience Life Cycle.

Hello,
Adding to what Shyju P J have said, it is interesting to discover authors that have used TALC or built upon it like Holladay (2018) did.
TALC have been criticised a lot about how it oversimplified the destination and for considering a destination a product but still I think it gives amazing overview on the stages that a destination can go through.
I am building my thesis on it as well but I am starting from the perspectives that Holladay (2018) have left in his paper.
