Happy New Year to all!
Tonight I've been sat creating my powerpoint presentation for my intial proposal for my dissertation. I have begun looking at alternative aspects of Sabah and what channels of research I may follow.
Topics include:
- KK has developed drastically over the last 20 years (tourism the main factor) – was it planned properly? How will the lack of space affect development?
- What plans are there for the future of tourism in Sabah?
-Has all of Sabah’s resources been fully exploited (cultural tourism, ecotourism, adventure etc)?
-How has tourism affected Sabah (people, culture, way of life etc)? E.g. Kampung Aya
-How has Sabah’s history helped/hindered tourism development?
- What plans are there for the future of tourism in Sabah?
-Has all of Sabah’s resources been fully exploited (cultural tourism, ecotourism, adventure etc)?
-How has tourism affected Sabah (people, culture, way of life etc)? E.g. Kampung Aya
-How has Sabah’s history helped/hindered tourism development?
-The marketing of Sabah as a tourism destination
-Sabah and its competition
-Tourism in an emerging economy
-Sabah and its competition
-Tourism in an emerging economy
They all seem like interesting issues to look at and as yet, I have not narrowed it down (if anything I keep adding!). Some of them do interlink so they might be of interest.
However, although 15,000 words sounds like a huge amount, once you get down to it, it really doesn't leave much room for exploration. So I must ensure that my topic is not so wide that I cannot fit it all in.
My presentation which will take place on Wednesday, will allow my lecturer to see what I have come up with so far and help me make a decision on which aspect to choose. As I'm a bit of a geek, I've tried to make the powerpoint as colourful and interesting as possible. For those who will find my topic a bore, I've added pcitures to keep them entertained - well, I do aim to please!

I thought your presentation was very interesting yesterday - defintely the foundation for a dissertation! Have you thought about posting your actual presentation up on your blog? You can do this using slideshare (www.slideshare.net) and then embedding it in a blog post...
Thanks for your help!
I am not updated whether you have started to narrow it down the topic for your presentation, however I quite liked the idea of what you are going to choose for your dissertation topic. As I was reading through it I thought that same as me you need to look at the government policies as well, as this are the key factors in making this industry work. Therefore my suggesstions are to look at this government policies and see what role are they playing in the tourism development and Management.
