The distinction between tourism planning and urban planning may be determined by how the nature of tourism differs from that of community development, physical (infrastructure and facility) planning, and land use planning. Tourism planning usually focuses on the interests of specific groups in the population, particularly those in the private sector like tourism corporations, while urban planning usually seeks to serve the interests of broader society. Tourism planning often is focused more on the facilities and infrastructure that serve tourists such as associated leisure and hospitality sectors. Urban planning is generally more inclusive in its field, trying to pay attention to all the fundamental sides of quality of life and community development, although this varies from one location to another. Moreover, while urban planning is a basic social necessity, essential for the control of development and property values, tourism planning is not seen as a fundamental public necessity, thus voluntary cooperation is often less critical for public discussion.
Hello Bashar,
Like you said the focus of tourism planning is different from other urban planning, which is correct. Since for tourism planning the target group is specific like the influx of people visiting, sectors involved for managing and providing facilities etc.
It also differs on type of tourism like religious, heritage, leisure, natural locations etc. Moreover, on the no. of times of visitors/tourists coming to a particular city/place like throughout year, annual influx, seasonal influx etc. Depending on the mass of tourists and frequency of their visits along the year planning is done. Lot of recent papers are available describing the type of action plan or long term plans needed for the tourism planning to cater temporary or fixed infrastructure, medical and safety, waste management, etc.
I am attaching a conference paper on which my team and I worked during one of our graduation project. However, the paper has discussed specifically the potential of GIS tool is tourism planning. But I hope you will get some idea going through it.
Best wishes!
