I need help creating a thesis and an outline on Destination to Santorini. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. A massive volcanic activity marked the development of Santorini Island. The eruption was recorded as the world's largest in history. The main economic activity on the island includes tourism and agriculture. Agricultural products like white and red grapes are used to make wines. Santorini has a major archaeological site known as Akrotiri. The main settlements in the region include Kamari, Perrisa, Oia, Therasia, and Emporio (Ruggia, 2012). The main transport system within is by land where the bus transport system connects the main island with Fira. Santorini has two ports which include Skala and Athinios. Amongst all the islands in the world, only Santorini has an airport runway which enables the largest planes like Boeing 757 to land and to take off (Ruggia, 2012).&nbsp.b) The Political History of Santorini The island of Santorini is located a few miles from Greece mainland in the southeastern part and the southern hemisphere of the Aegean Sea (Ruggia, 2012). The island is 73km2 with a population of approximately 15500 according to 2011 population census report by the municipality (Ruggia, 2012). There are several uninhabited islands in that region apart from Santorini. Among them, Santorini is the largest with also inhabitants. Santorini is politically stable headed by the municipal council which is governed by a mayor.&nbsp.c) Santorini Culture The art of the housing system on the island is those of low lying cubical which are made of local stones which are sometimes whitewashed and mixed with volcanic ashes which provide unique colour. The type of houses constructed is very expensive and less cost-effective due to good services. The houses are also insulated to enable controlled temperatures during summer and winter. The type of foods available includes tomato fritters, mashed fava beans, Greek salad, roasted Greek lamb and fried cheese covered in honey (Jane, 2018). Jazz and Folk music are some of the cultural festivals practised in Santorini. In addition, religious festivals during Easter and Christmas are also celebrated. The locals of Santorini mainly speak Greek but due to overspread tourism, English is the second most spoken language.d) The Climate of Santorini The temperature in Santorini Island is averagely high, ranging from 14 degrees Celsius to 18 degrees Celsius from the month of December to April, 23 to 29 degrees Celsius from May to October with September at 19 degrees Celsius (Ruggia, 2012).&nbsp.B. Tourism Destination and Development The development of a tourism destination is usually built over time through a sustainable process. Kozak (2011) explains that the anticipation of a tourist during the journey is determined by three pillars of sustainability according to the World Tourism Organisation (2015). The pillars include environmental factors, socio-cultural factors and economic factors. Most tourism destinations begin in the prematurity stage, which is gradually transformed through strategic development policies to the international level of recognition. Manhas, Manrai and Manrai (2016) analysis have revealed that there exists an irrefutable correlation between tourist destination development and the brand image which is the main external representation. The brand image analysis is composed of three main components focusing on pre-tourism phase, travel phase analysis and post-tourism phase analysis. Pre-tourism phase corresponds to the reasons for which tourist travel (Manhas, Manrai and Manrai, 2016). Furthermore, pre-travel planning can be influenced by the key attraction that the destination offers that would give a tourist a memorable experience (Kozak, 2011). For instance, culture and economic reasons.&nbsp.&nbsp.
