The document describes the typical life cycle model of a tourist resort, which progresses through phases from exploration to decline. In the exploration phase, small numbers of visitors are attracted by natural beauty and few facilities exist. Involvement follows as locals provide some tourist facilities and a season emerges. Development occurs as large visitor numbers arrive and control shifts to organizations. Consolidation happens when tourism becomes a major economy, numbers level off, and older facilities age. Stagnation is reached at peak numbers and decreased fashionability. Decline ensues as attractiveness and visitors decline, relying on local day visitors unless rejuvenation actions are taken.
