Your task
Individually, you are required to compose a 6-page reflective summary of your personal
development journey as the result of studying this subject, interacting with your peers during
workshop activities, and the group role-play activity, completing your forum discussion
questions, and studying weekly resources.
Assessment Description
The purpose of this individual assignment is to foster students’ ability to discuss and reflect on the
main aspects of destination and visitor management through concept mapping of their personal
learning experiences. This will enable students to showcase their ability to be active learners by
reflecting on visitor and destination management theories and concepts covered in weeks 1 to 12.
More importantly, this reflective summary will allow students to practise their personal development
concept mapping skills, which are necessary in today’s business world.
Assessment Instructions
For an optimum outcome, the reflective summary should be started at the beginning of week one
and continued throughout at least weekly. The key questions that you should ask yourself are:
➢ How have your learning experiences and the significant knowledge and skills you have
developed during this subject affected you?
Reflection requires you to observe, describe and make meaning of experiences closely. Whereas
critical reflection requires you to take one step further. It requires you to analyse, reconsider and
question your learning experiences by relating them to your previous knowledge and skills. Based
on this, you can decide on changes (improvements) in your future personal development as a leader
in the tourism and hospitality sector.
In preparing this summary, you will need to write a detailed critical reflection of the following aspects:
• Your view of destination and visitor management practices before entering MBA653.
• Your goal of entering MBA653 about the subject matter.
• Your reflection on what you have learnt about destination and visitor management during
MBA653.
• The destination and visitor management areas that have interested you the most and why.
• Make proposals on developing yourself further in your professional career.
• Other aspects you have reflected on that are not included above.

Additionally, you are required to create a concept map of your personal development as a
summative ending to your critical reflection. This map should be included as an appendix at the end
of your reflective summary. For those of you who are unfamiliar with concept mapping, please read
the following exert:
“What is a concept map, and what does it look like? A concept map:
• is a way of organising and representing knowledge in the form of a diagram showing
the relationships between concepts;
• reveals concepts, usually represented as boxes or circles, which relate to labelled
arrows in a hierarchical structure; and
• has arrows labelled with short phrases such as ‘is’, ‘leads to’, ‘gives rise to’, ‘results in’,
‘is required by’, or ‘contributes to’, etc.”

In this reflective summary, you are required to reference any sources used in accordance with the
Kaplan Harvard Referencing Style. These sources must be presented in the form of in-text citations
and a reference list at the end of your reflective summary. Wikipedia and other ‘popular’ sites are
