Conclusion

A well-planned tourism strategy can turn a tourist destination into an economic base which will generate revenue for the country, attract investors and create jobs for people. If a country is looking to promote its tourism industry, it must focus on local and international marketing strategies. There is a need to create a unique image of the locality or region in the eyes of tourists. Communities must develop partnerships that encompass all levels of society: government, hotels and shops, private individuals, travel agents and tour operators. A well-integrated program of activities is needed in order to attract visitors and take advantage of their presence in a community as much as possible.
