Goals of tourism development

30 November, 2015 - 18:03

Properly developed, tourism can provide benefits for both tourist and the host community. Tourism can help raise the living standards of the host people through the economic benefits it can bring to an area. In addition, by developing an infrastructure and providing recreation facilities, both tourist and local people benefit. Ideally, tourism should be developed that is appropriate to the destination. It should take the culture, history and stage of economic development of the destination into account. For the tourist, the result will be an experience that is unique to the destination.

At the same time there are costs involved in the development of tourism. Properly handled, the development of tourism can maximize the advantages of tourism while minimizing the problems.
