Introduction
The introduction should provide a definition of 'Domestic Tourism' - local residents visiting tourist attractions within their country. Residents get to know their country and appreciate what their country has to offer. - the scenery, the flora and fauna, the foods and cultures, name it. They thereby contribute to their Economy and help in or appreciate conserving of their national heritage and local means, There are various ways of promoting this form of tourism.
(i) One way of encouraging domestic tourism is getting people to team up to enjoy Available facilities. There is more fun for groups than for individuals, loners, Charley and Myrtle in Homestretch encourage David and Edith to visit the "Milk River Bath". They enjoy the 'stretch' to the river together (pg 9-1 7). David enjoys it so much that he contrasts it with the inaccessibility of such a facility in England. "A luxurious thing like 'stretching your body and stretching your limbs in some medical water doesn't have a place there (England) pg 16. He concludes "I believe I am going to want to come again" Pg16.
(ii) Building patriotism- Pride in one's own country is another way of encouraging local tourism. Brenda came to Jamaica to "find her Jamaican self" pg 51. pg 88 Brenda felt one again with Jamaica and when this was accomplished, she was Proud of her country and marketed its facilities abroad through her correspondence (pg 185). The same thing happens to David, Edith and Anthony. They are happy to be back home. Laura encourages Anthony and Brenda to visit the country (pg 131)
(iii) Publicizing local events that can attract tourist attention. After Brenda writes a feature on "Heritage Week "in Jamaica, there is a change not only in her but also in those "West Indians" who read it. (pg 137, 109, 185, 93, 94)
(iv) Domestic tourism can also be encouraged by creating networks with locals who are overseas. In Homestretch Brenda organizes trips for young people, "British of Caribbean parents" to enjoy "independence week" in Jamaica. David and Edith become part of the network.pg 114-11 5.
(v) Fundraising to sponsor and support domestic tourists can also enhance the
Venture. This may be in the form discounted rates for locals. In Homestretch, Brenda, Laura, and Anthony raise funds to sponsor the youth club to tour Jamaica, (pg 11 5, 1 85). The success of this venture is crowned in the shortest Chapter in the book (pg 188) which has given the novel the title Homestretch David and Edith use their pension to encourage domestic tourism (pg 11 5)
(vi) Taking time to explore what is available in one's country also creates appreciation and interest in domestic tourism. After her tour of Jamaica with Anthony, Brenda writes back to Laura about the attractions of Jamaica (pg181). This experience turns Experience turns Anthony into a domestic tourist.
Conclusion
The conclusion should provide a summary of the efforts of encouraging domestic Tourism.
