Question

The stagnation stage of the life cycle of a resort is often characterized by the increasing cost of public services and the lowering of the ‘quality of life’ for many residents.
Describe this situation from the viewpoint of (i) older residents living in the community, many of whom are ‘incomers’ from industrial cities in other parts of the country and (ii) a well-educated middle class couple with young children, who are staying
in the resort for their main holiday.

Answer 1

The viewpoint of older residents would be one of not much complaint because they would be happy to get out of their industrial cities.

A well-educated middle-class couple with children would be very disappointed and angry with the resort's services because their education allows them to know they are getting less than they paid for.

What happens in the stagnation stage?

In the stagnation stage, a resort will no longer be as good as it used to be and competition will threaten it. Public services will be more expensive as less people come and quality of life will decrease.

Older residents would still appreciate the resort because they are more used to hardship and will appreciate relaxing a little.

Well-educated middle-class people would be angry with the poor service because they know they should be offered better for the money they paid.
