…destination planning is important for the management of tourism. Players in the field have to realize that the resources of some destinations are limited and a large influx of people can have negative effects. A country that is not used to mainstream tourism will not have the infrastructure in place to deal with it. In this way, tourism can become a controversial agent of change, and in the long term may not be sustainable. It can often cause a culture clash which may adversely affect a country and its people, especially if the destination was very inaccessible before. The best tourism is based on a genuine interest in the country, its people and their values and beliefs. Tourists must understand that in countries with scarce resources and strong traditional roots the indigenous population will want to preserve their heritage. So, tourism policies need to be developed carefully, and always in cooperation with the community.
