The issue of tourism development is considered one of the contemporary topics on the basis that it has proven the extent of its effective contribution to increasing the national income of any country and thus increasing the income of individuals and improving their standard of living, as well as with what it includes in terms of comprehensive civilized development of all natural, human and material components, hence tourism development is a means of economic development, especially For local development, the interest in it has increased by trying to make it sustainable, by setting long-term policies and programs aimed at creating a sustainable tourism development whose primary goal is to preserve the environment, achieve the interests of current generations, and preserve the interests of future generations.
How do tourism development contribute to achieve development?
Tourism surely adds to national income. when tourists come to a country they stay for some days they visit the tourist spots all this they pay for. they come with money in their pockets and then leave only when they have spent it. national income increases as it provides employment to native people similarly native products are also bought by tourists. People's' purchasing power increases. investment increases and hence national income increases.
