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.
Further Details
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.
