Research paper about tourism

Guidelines

For this research paper you are required to find four articles on the impacts of tourism on a destination. You are free to focus on the socio-cultural and/or environmental impacts of tourism, as well as the planning that occurs to manage these types of impacts. Important: refer to Chapters 11 and 17 in your textbook for more information on these topics.
For instance, you could decide to focus on the island nation of Jamaica. Your next step would be to find at least four separate readings on the impacts of tourism on Jamaica. You could focus on tourism’s environmental impacts and/or socio-cultural impacts.
Regarding the articles you select for your paper: a) one must be from a scholarly journal; b) one must be from a professional periodical (trade publication); c) the other two can come from any other source (journals, trade publications, books, magazines, newspapers, but NOT your class text)
You may use more than 4 articles. If you believe you have found an appropriate scholarly journal or professional periodical that is not on the list provided below, email me the link to the file and I will review your request on a case-by-case basis.
Your paper should be at least 7 pages in length (9 pages with a title page and works cited page).
I strongly urge you to select articles that are thought provoking AND related in interesting ways. This way, you can consider them taken as a whole—what did you learn from them as a group rather than individually.
Please save your file as First Name_Last Name (example: john_doe.doc)
The paper (and bibliographic citations) should adhere to either the MLA or APA style of writing.
To continue the example above, if you are focusing your paper on the impacts of tourism on Jamaica, you might select one article from the Journal of Travel Research, one article from Travel Weekly, one article from a newspaper, and one article from a magazine like Travel Holiday.
