Where is your destination, and what does that stage bring?
Move the slider through the tourism life cycle to simulate systemic shifts across supply, demand, economic vitality, and social carrying capacity. Directly synced with database assessment logging.

01 Exploration — very few visitors, no meaningful tourism infrastructure yet.
02 Involvement — a new, trendy destination; local residents start engaging with tourism.
03 Development — rapid growth; heavy investment in accommodation and infrastructure.
04 Consolidation — peak visitation; the pivotal stage where capacity limits start to bind.
05 Stagnation — oversupply; original demand moves elsewhere, strain becomes visible.
06 Rejuvenation — a branch point: either deliberate repositioning, or continued decline.
Curves illustrate Life-cycle (orange), Supply (green), and Demand (blue) trajectories across stages.
