maturity
decline
Conception (Destination Life Cycle)

Maturity
during this phase all components of the destination are fully developed, and the product is being marketed successfully- visitor use is high
Decline ( Destination of Life Cycle)
once a site has enjoyed several years of high activity- begins to lose visitors
