Tourism of a country paper

Project overview:

You will select a country from a list of options, NOT INCLUDING one that you were 1) born in 2) have lived in or 3) currently reside in.  This is to ensure that that 1) no student researches the same country and 2) that we have coverage of all of the various ‘zones’ of tourism around the world. You are to use the template provided in Blackboard. Use the resources provided for how to create a formal academic research paper and avoid the common mistakes (lack of proper format, lack of in-text citations, plagiarism, using opinion/advice in the “I” “Me” “We” or “You” tenses, typos/grammar issues, lack of depth, too few or low quality sources not in alpha order in works cited section). The research paper will include:

Section 1: Country Overview

Geographic Description, Government/Industry/Commerce, Demographics, Social Issues

Section 2: Overview of Tourism

Visitors/Inbound Tourism Stats, Domestic vs. Inbound Tourism, Entry/Exit Costs, Safety of Travel, Tourism Infrastructure, Types of Tourism (from our lesson), Specific Major Attractions

Section 3: Tourism Opportunities & Barriers

Opportunities/Resources and Barriers/Threats to Tourism Including Economic, Cultural & Social, and Environmental Impacts

Section 4: Tourism Personal Perspectives on NameofCountry’s Tourism

Using “I” tense (the only section of this paper where this is permitted), discuss whether you are more or less interested in traveling to this country as a tourist. Why or why not? What did you learn that impressed or concerned you? Provide a ‘clever’ and thought provoking final thought about this country’s tourism.
