AN ANALYSIS OF TOURISM DEVELOPMENT: TOURISM PARADOX, TOURISM EQUINOX AND TOURISM DETOX

Year 2018, Volume: 2 Issue: 2, 1 - 6, 03.01.2019

Abstract

Having the tourism industry as the only development model for a country with its natural and cultural

resources could not only destroy the social life but also the tourism industry itself. Although the equation “more

tourists = more tourism income” is so simple, it is not a sustainable approach for the development plans of the

destinations. New buildings, new lifestyles, new social and commercial relationships will rapidly replace old ones

at the destination. The prospects of even more income will cause an increase in the tourism revenue generation

capacity of the destination which often causes deterioration and devastation of the attractions at the destination

and a decrease of the tourism earnings. This process leads to overuse of natural and cultural attractions and places

pressures on tourism earnings. ”Tourism paradox” is the name of this concept. Tourism paradox is the name given

to this phenomenon where tourism industry destroys natural and cultural environment that is necessary for tourism

activities. The growth of tourism cannot be always considered as having a positive impact for destinations.

The balance, which does not change and disturbs the social and economic relations at the destination

is called “tourism equinox”. New projects and approaches to solve the problems caused by the growth of urban

populations and establish healthy sustainable tourism destinations are becoming more important than ever.

Tourism detox is a treatment that is intended to remove harmful substances from the destination. Detox is a radical

decision and it is not an easy process. Therefore, spatial reorganization and urban regeneration play a crucial role

for the marketing of destinations and this transformation action affects all infrastructure facilities, restorations of

old buildings, reorganization of historical zones, and revitalizing the architectural style of the destinations. This

analysis investigates the influence of tourism paradox and tourism equinox on destinations in relation to tourism

activities and the protection of natural and cultural resources with the help of tourism detox.
