In the present scenario of the world, there are various types of researches which are carried out by a researcher on the similar topic. Literature review chapter will provide in-depth understanding related to the selected topic. Along with this, more focus will be given on the importance of urban tourism with respect to a developed economy. So the  complete information in this section is gathered from secondary sources and they act on basis of which further study is being carried out. Along with this, in this chapter, opinion of different authors will be critically evaluated. Hence, it helps in building theoretical base on the subject under the study. Therefore, this chapter will include factors which motivate tourists to visit London. While performing this activity, how London can become the top destination in the future is being analysed in this report.

Importance urban tourism activities in economic development of London City

As per the view of Fishman and Watson, (2015) there are various factors which lead to motivate people to visit London. Museum, park, theatre, natural park et. it is important for government to keep maintain the beauty of London in order to increase the number of visitors. For this purpose, improvement can be made and more accommodation facilities can be provided to customers by hotels which help retaining them. Streimikiene and Bilan, (2015) argued that Government lead to play significant role in respect to growth and development of the city. It is important to develop proper infrastructure and try to keep natural beauty maintain.

Urban tourism is known as the term which describes various tourist activity in which city is considered as the main destination and place of interest. It is one of the old form and very complicated. Walkowitz, (2013), stated that tourism in the cities are highly connected with implementation of new technology and growth. City can provide large number of products and services which become a main object as it is demanded by most of the people in tourism market. Product which are offered by city to tourist can be anything material and non-material such as specific location (Museum, religious, entertainment etc.) There is dynamic effect of urban tourism in the economy as it provides employment opportunity and help in growth and development. Cook, (2014) argued that tourism not only supports the economy of a city but it is also accountable for socio-culture impact on the people. At the time when tourism help in building some employment opportunities it lead to affect the social and cultural relations between people from various part of the world. Fishman,  and Mazzei, (2014) explained that  cities are losing lots of economy and they were identifying they all the loss can be recover and they can easily generate profit from tourism sector and establish job opportunity. It is the reason due to which they are inculcating new activities in so that regeneration process can be enhanced. The tourism department demand investment to attract visitors. Therefore, marketing and selling of a picture of a city so that people get attracted toward it (Lee, Lee and Ham, 2013).

One of the major advantage of cultural tourism is that exchange of culture with various cultures of the world. For country it can become a matter of pride as because local people exchange culture with other people. It makes local people feel more bounded toward the originality. Nemery and Lidouh, (2013) state that local people take tourism in positive way and negative way. It is because too much of everything may not be good. For instance, to develop the city as over-construct the primary elements which lead to diluted the originality of culture.

Impact of Urban tourism

Hoye, (2016), state that Urban tourism is growling rapidly because it leads to provide lots of advantage to the local people in various ways. As the growth in urban tourism has caused socio-cultural and economic and environmental. It leads to put positive and negative impact in Urban areas. One of the positive impact of urban tourism on London is that it helps in creating more and more tourism on their city which lead to enhance their economy (Law, De Lacy and Jiang, 2016).  The number of job created in local care in various sectors for instance, hotels, restaurant, travel agencies etc. Along with this it also assists in improving infrastructure of transportation and enhance business opportunities. On the other side, there are some negative impact of economy in urban cities. Due to high cost it is not easy to live in such type of city as because rate of land is very high. It leads to become reason of unemployment due to season tourism. There are lots of manpower is available due to which people do not get minimum wages. According to the Martínez, Pérez and Del Bosque, (2014)  urban tourism has lead to impact socially at the time when lots of visitors come to visit a specific particular area. Some primary elements of Urban tourism are cultural facilities and leisure setting. On the other side secondary and additional elements are hotels tourist infrastructure etc

As per the view of Higgins-Desbiolles, Moskwa and Wijesinghe, (2017), Westminster is the area of London on the city which is attractive and grab attention of tourist. Along with this it also leads to create historic landmarks in London. There are many places in London which are shows the historical view. Hence it leads to motivate people to travel easily to watch historical monuments.  Similar to this London has lots of historic and cultural places such as forts, museum, art galleries etc (Martínez, Pérez and Del Bosque, 2014),. London is one of the beautiful city and known as famous for festivals. There are many festivals held such as Books, comedy, drama, dance and music etc. Shopping also lead to attract large number of people as because they can easily make purchase of many new things which are not available in their own country.

Toursim is very essential in the economy of London. London is an opening and welcoming city.

There is an huge growth and it is associated with economic benefits which will be only realised with coherent vision and the medium to implement it (Moscardo and Murphy, 2014). There is a great opportunity like total visits to the capital by 2025 are forecasted to attract 40.4 million domestic and international visits annualy.

There is an collaboration with more than hundred of the capital's tourism businesses, which includes  Gatewick Airport, Hilton, Merlin Entertainments and Airbnb as well as leading industry associations such as the Association of Leading Visitor attraction and the British Hospitality Association. They all define a new vision of the London city. As their belief was that if this vision is realised, tourism will reach at high economic growth and it will stimulate the culture scene of the city, It will support even greater numbers of employments and it will strengthen  London’s reputation as an open and welcoming city.

Places where urban tourism is highest are-

Buckingham Palace: According to the view of Chang, and Chih Huang, (2014) this palace is the residence of London and the major workplace of the United Kingdom's Monarchy Location of this palace is in the city of Westminster, and is often at the middle of the state occasions and royal hospitality. It was built in 1703 for the Duke of Buckingham and it was also known as Buckingham house. It is the most famous and popular attraction of the tourist in London, as it attracts fifteen million tourists every year.

Alexander, and Kim, (2015) state that palace of Webminster: The meeting place of the House of Lords and the House of Commons, the 2 houses of the United Kingdom's Parliament. It was originally built in the middle ages and it was squashed by 1834 due to fire and it was again rebuilt in 1840 – 70. Though there is no casual access to the interior, it is still one of the most visited tourist attractions due to Big Ben and Thames.

Big Ben: It is the nickname of the clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in london for the Great Bell, and is often extended to refer clock tower and the clock. Its height is 96 m and was opened in 1859 (Brown , Smith and Assaer, 2016).

2.2 Motivating people for visiting London

According to the view of Moscardo and Murphy, (2014), in London, there are many attractive destinations which can easily grab the attention of customers. It can lead to increase the revenue for the country and help in growth and development. Some of the attractive destinations in London are such as London Eye, River Thames, Tower of London etc. To motivate people for visiting London various types of tour packages and accommodation facility need to be provided to them. As luxurious facilities and various another attractive offer encourage them to visit London. Kozak and Kozak, (2016), state that there are different views of London exists that create continuous to evolve. Urban tourist activities are highly promoted with respect to attract a large number of tourist. Word of mount and internet searches have a most overall influence on attraction cultural tourist. There are many international and domestic visitors who predominantly visit London for the cultural experience. Hotels in London provide extra facility to their regular customers Along with this sustainability of the London area are innovative in order to grab the attention of customers. (Sharma and Rather, 2015), argued that in present time people become more aware of the environment. To improve the quality of urban tourist destination it is important to satisfy needs and wants of tourist with respect to enhancing the competitiveness of the tourism industry.  Differnet activities which are included in Urban Tourism are leisure tourism which is linked to some special features of urban areas. Business tourism is also linked to economies , social and cultural vitality of cities and town. There is an conference tourism which is connected with the facilities availed in the image of towns and cities. Weidenfeld and Leask, (2013), points out that there are various issues which are related to urban tourism such as policies etc. It is essential for the UK to resolve policy related issues so that it can be resolved in time.  Basically there are many attractions in London but the most unique one are as follows:

            Sharma and Rather, (2015) state that the best theatre scene in the world is in London which attracts the super best in acting talent so it is not surprising to see a few popular faces on the stage of London. The pickup is from long-running musicals, brand new works and classic plays are making their Wesr End Debuts.

            The best part of every place is that every budget should have proper   accommodation and tastes which is perfect in London. In inexpensive options , one can enjoy famous luxury hotels . Other travellers can be meet up at hostels and they can enjoy the comfort of a friendly B&B, or even can try camping in London (Moscardo and Murphy, 2014)

            Law, Delacy and Jiang,( 2016). explained that best museums and galleries in the world are located in London, many of them are free. In British Museum one can spend few hours, in Tate Modern, Natural History Museum or the Science Museum one can browse the permanent collections which is free or we can say no cost.

            According to the view of Moscardo and Murphy, (2014) in London one can take culinary journey with diverse restaurants which are ranging from Michelin-starred restaurants, to traditional British restaurants and gastropubs with afternoon tea. Bar scene is also equally varied, so rooftop bars can be also check and even riverside pubs and chamagne bars

            Author argued that Brown, Smith and Assaker, (2016) famous skyline continues to evolve in London. Many places to view the iconic skyline with the river, but a compulsory panoramic view of London from top at locations like a beautiful view from the Shard or the London Eye. There is presence of flagship stores on Oxford Street. Europe's largest and famour shopping center at Westfield Stratford or visit to an special and iconic store like Harrods or Selfridges  The biggest sporting event in the world is attracted by London, which is not least the Olympic and Paralympic games. Tour of the capital's spectacular sporting venues is mandatory.

            Cook, (2014) London does not have any lack of green space and even no need to travel far for this. It is home to 8 beautiful Royal parks which includes Hyde Park and Richmond Park. Amazing view of the city can be taken from Hampstead Heath and alternatively London's peaceful outdoor places like Botanical garden can be visited. River bus services and tours are best medium to beat the traffic and to enjoy the beautiful views, even canals of London can not be ignored like Regent's Canal and Little Venice.

Ways through London will be make as the top tourist destination in the future

            As per the view of Hall and Ram, (2018) there are many destinations in London which are highly attractive. In relation to this brand play significant role at the time of increasing the performance of destination in London and in mind of customers. There are various types of activities which help in promoting a particular destination and motivate tourist. Kynaston, (2015) argued that sports in London is one of the centre of attraction for customers. Sports highly motivate tourist to visit at the particular place. 

            According to the view of Fishman and Mazzei, (2014) London can become top destination in future by doing marketing and PR Campaigns throughout the year which will attract more visitors to the capital. This might help to promote the organization if there is proper supply of the information which fits well along the plans.

            As per the opinion Fishman and Watson, (2015) public relation opportunities can also help to become top as it receives hundreds of requests throughout the year from the journalists. Local residents must know the best places where they can take their visitors or friends and families. Tourist guide must highlight very clearly about the way to get to the attraction. And the most necessary is itineraries to the tourists from which they can feel completed overwhelmed.

CHAPTER 3:  RESEARCH METHODLOGY

3.1 Introduction

Research methodolo0gy is an important chapter in research because it provides detailed information regarding various tools and techniques for completing the research. These all tools and techniques help in carrying out research in a right direction. It includes data collection method, research strategy etc. Along with this, it will focus on research aims and objectives that will help in a systematic manner. There are various types of research methodology which are involved in these and help in developing understanding related to the same. In this context below are provided various methodologies that are as follows:

3.2 Research philosophy

Research philosophy is known as the belief of the scholar in relation to the ways which help in gathering, analysing and evaluating the information (Muriana and Vizzini,  2017). Along with this it also helps in analysing the sources which help in developing the nature of the study. At the time of selecting an appropriate research philosophy, it assists in bringing a valid conclusion. It is considered as an actual phenomenon which aims to focus on the objectives of the research. Generally, research philosophy is classified into two types that are interpretivism and positivism.

Interpretivism philosophy focused on the subjective part of the study in which different theories and models are used related to the selected topic. Along with this, it is also depended on the interpretation which is done by the scholar. On the other side, positivism philosophy all the objectives are measured and all the facts which are wrong eliminated from the study. It is carried out in a systematic manner through combining logical aspect and focusing on experimental observations. In this role of gathering and interpreting the information of scholar is reduced (Mammen,  Norton and Butz, 2016). For the present research interpretivism, philosophy is selected by the firm as because it helps in gathering depth information related to the significance of urban tourism activity and its impact on the economy. Reason for selecting philosophy will help in collecting important information and thus obtain right findings in order to gain meaningful information.   

3.3 Research design

Research dosing is known as the method through which all the gathered information is present in a systematic manner. It includes different actions and techniques that involve various elements of the study in a logical manner. Along with this, it is also considered as a blueprint for gathering information. It is classified into three types that are as follows descriptive, exploratory and explanatory (Raynor, Ayubcha and Alavi,  2017). In exploratory research design focus is uncovering all the issues which are covered in the study. The present research is based on analysing the significance of urban tourism activities in the economic development of London City, therefore descriptive research design.  It is known as the theoretical analysis which covered population covered in the study. Hence, it is effective for those study in which description can be provided in order to attain results. It will also help in understanding factors which are motivating customers to visit London. This design not only helps in minimizing the effort but also help in accomplishing the research project in an effective manner (Attar,  Haghighat. and Ghassemi,  2016). The rationale for selecting this research design is that it assists in defining the situation in an efficient manner. Along with this it also helps in gathering important data and facts which help in completing the project successfully.

3.4 Research approach

Research approach help in providing a way through which all the information is collected in the form of specific and general (Médici and Allen, 2016). Approaches which are included in this method are effective enough through which theories and models are taken into consideration. Hence this approach is effective enough in order to raise the knowledge and understanding of the selected topic. There are two types of approaches that are inductive and deductive.

Inductive is the approach which focused on collecting specific information first then specific information. Through the help of this new theory can be constructed on the basis of collected information (Peter,  Werner and Alavi,  2017). On the other side in deductive approach is used at the time when a researcher wants to present general information first. In this focus is on existing theories which are related to the selected topic. In accordance with the selected topic that is analyse the significance of urban tourism activities in the economic development of London City researcher had made the use of inductive approach because it emphasises on involving theories. Reason for selecting inductive approach is that it focusses on providing depth information related to the selected topic. Further this method is that due to its specific outcomes which cannot be related with the topic reflecting a generalised context.

3.5 Data collection methods

Data collection is known as the method that will help in providing different sources from where information can be gathered. For the investigator, it is important to collect the information in order to get a valid outcome. There are two sources from where information can be collected that are primary and secondary (Bathelt and Glückler,  2017). Primary information is that in which all the information is new and it is collected the first time. There are various sources from where this type of information is collected such as survey, questionnaire, interview etc. On the other side secondary information is that kind of information which is already published by different authors in their books, articles etc. This information can gather, from books, journals articles etc.

For the present research, both primary, as well as the secondary method, is considered by the scholar. In the primary method, information is gathered through a survey. A set of question are prepared and it is distributed to respondents. On the other side of secondary information is collected from books, journals and articles (Cooper, Desjardins and Croll,  2016). Reason for selecting both these methods is that from primary research specific information can be collected which more reliable. While secondary information will help in providing string base for theoretical aspect. Hence these both method will help in developing strong base which helps in providing valid outcome.

3.6 Sampling

To carry out research from a large number of population is not easy for the investigator. Therefore, the sampling method is needed to be used for primary research (Toye,  Williamson and Lamb,  2016). There are two types of sampling technique that are probabilistic and non-probabilistic methods. Probabilistic sampling is also considered as a random sampling method. In this method, all the people get equal chances to be selected without any bias. On the other side in non-probabilistic sampling method investigator have proper understanding related to the selected sample size. Among both, the methods researcher will choose random sampling method. Here 50 tourists are selected through random sampling method. Reason for selecting this method is that it will help in providing equal chances to being selected from the entire population.

3.7 Data analysis

After collecting information from different sources, it is important to analyse it for getting the proper outcome (Edson, Henning and Sankaran, 2016). It helps in converting raw data into meaningful information. There are two methods through which information can be analysed that are qualitative and quantitative.

Qualitative method is consisting of analysing the question which is asked by the scholar from its respondent in the survey. It includes thematic analysis in which different themes are prepared on the basis of the response (Creswell and Poth, 2017). It is considered as a non-numeric method in which interpretation of the survey results is done on the basis of themes and table. On the other side in the quantitative method, all the information is presented in the numeric form. It enables the use of various statistical tools and techniques. It includes various SPSS tools such as descriptive test, chi square test etc (WinitWatjana,  2016). The present research is based on analyse the significance of urban tourism activities in the economic development of London City. In order to analyse the collected information, the qualitative technique will be considered by the investigator. In this several theme and charts will be prepared on the basis of which interpretation is done. Along with this, different charts and tables are prepared so that all the information is presented in a systematic manner.

3.8 Ethical consideration

There are various types of ethics which are required to be considered at the time of carrying out research. It is important for the investigator to ensure that no unethical activity is carried out as it leads to directly impact the findings of the research. At the time of collecting information from primary sources, it is important to do not force any respondent for taking participant in the survey (Mammen,  Norton and Butz, 2016). Along with this, the reason for conducting the survey needs to be made clear so that they can provide an appropriate answer. Further, all the personal information provided by respondents is required to be kept confidential and destroyed after use so that no other person can misuse it. Apart from this while collecting secondary information it is important to refer authentic sources which are copyright protected. All the information need to be properly cited in order to make it authentic. For the researcher it is required to understand that no information is misused.

3.9 Research limitation

There are various types of limitation which are faced by the investigator at the time of carrying out research. It is essential for the investigator to take proper consideration in order to minimise limitation. Here, below are some limitation which can be faced by the investigator that are as follows:

Aims and Objectives: Aims and objectives are based on the research and it appropriate step on the basis of entire research is carried out. When these are not properly done then the researcher can fail in attempting entire research (Raynor, Ayubcha and Alavi,  2017). Therefore, it can be stated that all aims and objectives need to prepare properly.

Selection of methodologies: There are various methods and approaches which can be considered in order to carry out research in a right direction. At the time when methods and techniques are not selected properly then it can put a negative impact on the findings. There are various sources from where information can gather, therefore scholar should be careful while selecting these sources.

Limitation of time: There is various type of activities which is required to be completed on time. A delay in one activity can delay the other activities.

Limitation of resources: With all the activities there are the certain cost is involved if proper planning is required so that no extra cost involved in all the activities. Along with this, all the collected information need to be evaluated in an appropriate manner in order to get a valid outcome (Attar,  Haghighat. and Ghassemi,  2016).

Getting information: Due to the limitation of time considered sample size is 50 which is nor high neither low. Time needs to be considered from the respondents in which they can fill the questionnaire.

Reliability and validity

For the researcher it is essential to enhance the reliability and validity of the study in which various aspects is considered. In order to conduct the study, it is important to collect all the information from authentic sources. Reason behind selecting this copyright data protected data sources offer highly reliable information which help in providing appropriate outcome. Apart from this, all the information which provided in secondary research are addressed on the basis of aims and objectives (Peter,  Werner and Alavi,  2017). Different themes are prepared by the investigator in accordance to the aim of the research. Hence it shows that all the information provided in research are highly valid and reliable.  Hence, themes have been prepared by the investigator according the research aims. This aspect shows that suitable data has been gathered by the scholar for the present study.

CHAPTER 4: DATA ANALYSIS

4.1 Introduction
