Abstract

The capacity of the country to offer luxury tourism has been largely compromised crowding, over-development of facilities, competition for tourists, insecurity, poor infrastructure in general, and environmental degradation. Even though the Government now realizes the superiority of up-market or a blend of upmarket and mass tourism, attracting high-level tourism is a difficult task. The present situation in the tourism sector is attributable to lack of adequate reflection, consultation, and planning.

Description

The Policy brief addresses the need to attract tourists from a wider range of countries, diversifying tourist attractions, expanding the benefits to the local population, protecting the environment, and improving quality and standards.
