3. INTRODUCTION South bank is considered as one of the most cultural and premier lifestyle destination of which is located near the banks of the Brisbane river. Further, the inner city attract large number of travelers and tourists from different places of the world. The city consist of amazing river views, lush green parks and one of the best eateries all across the globe (Visit Brisbane, 2016). The present research report explores two issues relate to environment which is faced by South bank. Apart from this, some recommendations are provided to tourism stakeholders of the selected destination. Sustainability management issues South Bank is facing two major issues related to economy and this has affected the total number of tourist and visitors to a great extent (McCrea and Walters, 2012). In the modern era, tourism is considered as one of the most effective way to boost up economic situations of any country. Further, increasing number of tourist directly results in bringing more foreign exchange within a country which directly contributes in development of a nation (Marzano, Laws and Scott, 2009). However, in context of South Bank it can be stated that there are certain issues related to tourism which has affected the nation's economic development in negative sense (Carson and et.al. 2013). There are certain restaurants and shops in the city which are being owned and managed at local level (Ganis, Minnery and Get assignment on marketing principles from Instant

4. Mateo-Babiano, 2014). It can be explained that these shops are carrying out marketing and advertisement of their products as developed in Australia but when it comes to reality the products are made in Asian counties (Wise and Whittam, 2015). Therefore, such kind of false marketing activities has created sense of dissatisfaction among travelers and tourist. It has also resulted in lowering down the number of travelers and thus, it is affecting economic development in several ways (Will, 2013). Another issue which has been faced by South Bank in Brisbane is linked with social culture in economic work (South Bank economic impact,2016). Here, lack of employment opportunities has emerged as one of the big and most important threat for the entire community (Evans, 2016). Most of the people in South bank are being employed in jobs related to travel and tourisms (Carson and et.al. 2016). These individuals do not posses wide range of knowledge, (Pineda skill set and they are not paid appropriately and Brebbia, 2012). The concept of responsible tourism clearly lays emphasis on economic Get assignment on marketing principles from Instant

5. growth along with development of people living in the society (Payer and Prideaux, 2015). However, because of unemployment people living in society are facing issues to satisfy the basic needs of their respective family members. It can be expressed that government and other regulatory needs to take care of the above mentioned two issues so that more sustainable development can be carried out in the future (Edwards and Griffin, 2013). Recommendation In the modern era, recreation opportunity system (ROS) can be termed as one of the best and most effective approach which can be used. The key reason why this approach is considered as effective is that it assess a person to explore, identify different interactions and relationships (De Vries and De Vries, 2013). Further, the framework includes six major components which are urban, rural, roaded natural, semi primitive non motorized, semi primitive motorized and Primitive. On the basis of recreation opportunity system approach, recommendations provided to South Bank stakeholders are mentioned below as:  It can be recommended that stakeholders such employees, owners, government and local people should focus on inventorying existing opportunities. The rationale behind this recommendation is that it will help the selected destination to deal with major economic issues which are linked with sustainability. It can be stated that the concept of Get assignment on marketing principles from Instant

6. sustainability clearly focuses on growth and development of tourism along with taking care of economy, society and environment (Birch, 2015). Along with this corrective measures are required to taken by stakeholders for the growth and development of people living in society. As it has been discussed that South Bank Brisbane is facing issues related to social culture and the stakeholders needs to take corrective measures regrading the same. It can be recommended that employment opportunities and better pay needs to be provided to local people so that they can enhance livelihood (Hajkowicz, Cook and Boughen, 2013). On the other side of this, development of new attractions will also help in increasing the total number of tourist which are visiting the destination and therefore, will contribute in overall development of South Bank.  It can be also recommended that the stakeholders needs to focus on their marketing activities and take corrective measures regrading the same. It has been found that there are certain shops and restaurants owners which are carrying out marketing activities which cannot be termed as ethical. The stakeholders can encourage local people to develop local products which reflects the culture of the destination and shops can market those products to different tourist and travelers (Foley, 2012). Furthermore, at the time of selling any kind of product and services, it is required by shopkeepers and restaurant owners to communicate every thing to the customer or buyer. Even information such as Get assignment on marketing principles from Instant

7. where the product has been manufactured should be communicated to customers so that they do not feel cheated. At present there are many sellers who are offering products made in Asia to customers (Soltani and et.al. 2015). Sustainability practices will help in developing sense of satisfaction among the respective buyers and will also support in overall economic development of South Bank (Sustainability at South bank, 2016). It can be also recommended that in order to boost the economy of the selected destination, stakeholders such as local people and government should place more efforts of marketing and promotion of South Bank in front of the entire world. CONCLUSION From the above conducted research report, it can be concluded that sustainability practices has become very important for growth and success of any tourist destination. At present, South Bank which is a most renowned attraction on Brisbane is facing issues related to economy and employement. It can be inferred that in order to attract more tourist in long run, the brand is required to adopt practices linked with sustainability.
