The document describes Butler's tourist resort life cycle model, which outlines the typical stages in the evolution of a tourist destination from exploration to decline. It begins with few facilities and adventure tourism, progresses to development with large hotels and package holidays, reaches a peak stage of consolidation, then declines through stagnation as the resort loses popularity and businesses close, before potentially achieving rejuvenation. Examples provided are Blackpool, which has declined, and Benidorm which remains consolidated through management choices to prevent stagnation.
