Stages of butlers model
Stage 1: Exploration
Stage 2: Involvement
Stage 3: Development
Stage 4: Consolidation
Stage 5: Stagnation
Stage 6: Decline or Rejuvenation
Stage 1 of Butlers model
Exploration:
The natural beauty or culture attracts a limited number of tourists; few
tourist facilities exist.
Stage 2 of Butlers model
Involvement:
Some of the local population provide accommodation for tourists; a distinct
