Analysis Of Sterling Bay

Sterling Bay is a town with not much resource, one way the government can look to improve the economy is to use the economic approach of comparative advantage.
Sterling bay can look to attract tourist firstly with their beautiful beach which make an appealing location for honeymoons, family vacations and tourist who want to have a short getaway to relax their mind and stay away from the bustling city. The existence of the cluster of limestone caves and rock pool formation will be a bonus as it a unique landmark for the town worthy for tourist to visit. The sea by the town can also be a hotspot for tourists who are keen in snorkeling, scuba diving and even fishing. Tourists can take up a nature hike through the forest that borders the town,

Sterling Bay would benefit from having food and beverage stores which sells their awesome tasty and fresh seafood dishes. Including alcoholic drinks is also a good idea as the global alcoholic drinks market value is worth more than $1000 billion dollars (Research and Market, 2014).
For accommodations it would be a good idea to include resorts near the beach and motels near the highway that is being built. Resorts would be a good idea as we are targeting leisure tourists to Sterling Bay, resorts would not be costly for tourists and it will appeal to tourists that are looking for a short get-away trip. Motels near the highway can also be viable as people travelling around in motor vehicles are able to stop by sterling bay to have a meal, or to have a night’s rest, as motels are cheaper than resorts, this is another way to attract more people in to sterling
Demands like souvenirs, cultural manifestations and etc. But one I would like to raise is demands for local women folk to make use of their renowned weaving skills to request them to design or create other cultural heritage clothing. This is bad for Sterling bay as they would slowly lose their own culture as they start to accommodate the demands of others. It is true that the interest shown from tourists would contribute to their sense of self-worth and helps to conserve a cultural tradition, however, cultural erosion may take place because of the commodification of local goods.
Another potential negative impact on Sterling bay could be culture clashes. Tourism involves the movement of people from their normal place of residence to a different geographical location and meeting people of a different culture and society. Cultural clashes can happen as a result of religious differences, cultural differences, differences in values and lifestyle. One exam would be in Muslim countries, due to religious reasons, a Muslim country will normally have strict rules and standards regarding the appearance and public behavior of their women. Many tourists usually disregard or are unaware of these “rules” and ignore the local “dress code” appearing on streets in skimpy outfits. This in turn creates ill-will and most of the time turn violent. (UNEP,
