REFLECTIVE
While conducting the research regarding the present file, I have gained much knowledge and information. The project helped me in understanding the different aspects of the project management. On the other hand, I have got information about stakeholders who are involved in the project regarding the development of the Marina Beach in Jamestown for increasing the tourist facility. I have analyzed the contribution of stakeholders in accomplishing the objectives of the project and government. The project plan enhanced my knowledge with respect to the international standard of constructions, present situation of the tourist management within the city and many more. With respect to the stakeholder engagement program, I gathered all the necessary techniques which are important such as phone and e-mails, initialization of formal and public meetings, the arrangement of the workshops and many more. For analyzing and researching the appropriate information with respect to the project, I used secondary data collection method. In context to this, I read books, journals, tourist annual report of the Jamestown, articles, previous researches, etc which are relevant to the present study. This leads to increase my knowledge in the field of stakeholder management, tourist management, risk management, project management and quality management.
It is not easy to create a project plan effectively; it needs proper investigation and evaluation for collecting relevant and necessary information. Use of improper information can lead to affect the plan and create issues in achieving the desired objectives (Fleming and Koppelman, 2016). With reference to this, I paid full attention and gave proper time to the research for understanding its requirements. Proper understanding leads me to the selection of right and effective information with respect to the stakeholders, tourist management and many more. On the other hand, for enhancing the tourism in the nation it is necessary to increase the quality of the tourist places and services (Mir and Pinnington, 2014). For this, I suggested government use small boats, berthing facilities for boats and Yachts, residential facilities, attractive restaurants with quality food, proper and clean taxi stand and many more. These facilities can provide tourist a better transportation, stay and food as per their needs and desires.
I have learnt and enhanced different skills while conducting this study. Documentation of this research on the computer by using internet develops and increases my technical skills. Proper research and analysis of the needed information develop research skills which are necessary for conducting any type of research. Along with this, I improved my presentation skills by presenting the information effectively and meaningfully. Apart from this, the project leads to increase my knowledge in the field of budget planning, risk assessment, team building, project planning and progress monitoring. The entire research leads to improve my analytical skills and strategic thinking. All these skills and knowledge is important for developing and building an effective career in future.
Information regarding tourism, hotels, stakeholder management, project planning, etc will help me in further studies and research work. Project plan needs to be completed on the decided time and by using decided resources for maintaining the quality and satisfying the client (Kerzner and Kerzner, 2017). In context to this, completion of the project on time leads to develop time management skills with optimum utilization of the limited resources.
