What happens during the first stage of the Butler Model: Exploration?
There are small numbers of tourists. All tourism is from primary attractions which may be natural or cultural. There are no secondary tourism attractions. Tourism has no economic or social significance to local residents.
What happens during the second stage of the Butler Model: Involvement?
Local residents become involved in tourism. Emergence of secondary tourism facilities such as guest houses. A tourist season may develop. Pressure develops for local governments to improve transport for tourists.
What happens during the third stage of the Butler Model: Development?
High numbers of tourists that may exceed the local population during peak periods. Heavy advertising will create a well-defined tourist market. Local involvement and control of tourism declines rapidly. External organisations will provide secondary tourist attractions. Natural and cultural attractions will be developed and marketed. Local people experience physical changes to the area that they may not approve of.
What happens during the fourth stage of the Butler Model: Consolidation?
Tourism growth slows but the numbers of tourists exceeds the local population. The area’s economy is tied to tourism. Marketing and advertising will be wide-reaching. Major franchises and tourism chains will be represented. Resort areas will have a well-defined recreational business district. Tourism arouses opposition and discontent from some local people.
What happens during the fifth stage of the Butler Model: Stagnation?
Visitor numbers have reached their peak. Carrying capacity has been reached or exceeded. Tourism causes environment, social and economic problems. The resort becomes divorced from its geographic environment. Artificial tourism attractions supersede the original primary attractions. Area has well-established image but will no longer be fashionable.
What happens during the sixth stage of the Butler Model: Rejuvenation?
Requires a complete change in tourism attractions. Previous untapped tourism resources may be found.
What happens during the sixth stage of the Butler Model: Decline?
Unable to compete with newer tourism attractions. Holidaymakers replaced by weekend or day-trippers. Tourism facilities replaced by non-tourism activities. Hotels may become retirement homes or flats for local residents. Ultimately, the area may become a tourism slum or drop out of the tourism market completely.
