Information for tourism development
Tourism is an economic growth tool for national, international and local economies. There are
numerous destinations in the world, have pursued development without proper planning and without
considering the impacts for such development plans. Specific attention must be paid for the key issues
concerning tourism development in less developed countries. It stresses that, to plan effectively for
tourism development while managing positive and negative effects. This assignment will discuss
tourism development planning approaches to achieve the targets and objectives of tourism
development for a destination.
Nowadays, tourism has undeniably acquired an important place internationally. It states that it was
long believed that it would be possible to benefit from the positive impacts of tourism, by setting
some strategies whose main core would be a strong promotion, together with a very slow
development and, thus, not inflating the economic, social and environmental costs. It is vital to point
out the positive as well as the negative aspects of the practice of tourism and, at the same time suggest
planning as a way of causing the positive aspects to minimise the negative ones.
