I have met with Samantha who was my lecturer in Tourism Planning and Policy. The reason for the appointment with her was because I am thinking of analysing AUH's tourism strategy. Sam gave me the idea of comparing Dubai and AUH. I could interview eight people from both destination's stakeholders. I would first compare both strategies and identify similarities and differences, and then ask those stakeholders what they think is a better way. The problems I will face are (1) to get the tourism strategies, (2) to find willing interviewees, and (3) to find time to travel to the UAE. But on the whole I think this sounds very interesting. To include the financial crisis related to the AUH' s and Dubai's tourism industry, I would need to prove that there have been changes in the tourism policies since then, and which again will be very difficult to find out. I have not thought yet about my strategy how to contact key persons who would give me these information, and I would like to talk about that to my supervisor Dr. Chowne who I would meet on Wednesday, 29th April.
