Therefore, together the purpose of both tourism policy and planning is to ensure that tourists are getting a high quality experience, which still benefits the destination, while minimizing the negative effects that impact the success of the destination, such as diminishing a destinations environmental, cultural and

The Travel and Tourism industry is still one of the largest single businesses in world commerce and its importance is widely recognized. The tourism industry is now one of the largest sectors earning foreign exchange. In the face of many benefits, many countries have started assigning due weight age to the tourism industry in their national development agenda.
