University of Toronto Issues in Tourism Questions

I’m working on a hospitality discussion question and need support to help me learn.

Explain some ways that governments directly provide tourism and hospitality services? 

What is the difference between a ‘government’ and an ‘industry association’? 

What are some differences between traditional left wing and right wing political ideologies?

Explain some differences you’d expect to see when visiting a tourism attraction in a socialist versus a neo- liberal society? 

In class, there was a discussion about ‘social tourism’, where the government pays for or subsidizes tourism  experiences. Which political ideology does this most align with, and why?

Can you summarise Arnstein’s ladder of participation? (You do not need to name all of the steps, just explain the general ideas). 

Explain how descriptive, instrumental, and normative stakeholder engagement efforts differ. 

Explain in your own words the ‘policy process’ as outlined by Dyck (2010). Explain at least 2 of the stages, and identify the correct order. 

We discussed the short term rental policy situation in Toronto. Can you identify one of the ‘policy instruments” as outlined by Dyck (2010) that applies to how the City implemented new policy? 

A destination wants to encourage tourists to act appropriately in the community. They place signs and posters requesting visitors to keep noise down after 11pm. Which policy instrument is this? Explain why.
