Sustainable Tourism.

Benefits of the sustainable tourism in the developing countries.

International economic divergences (disagreement) have created awareness about the

necessity of interconnecting efforts so as to abolish, or at least reduce, the existing
differences in living standards. This has entailed the acceptance of economic planning and
planned development.

The induced effects of export trade are profitable to the developing economics.
Increased production and employment and therefore increased distribution of incomes in
their turn bring about the national savings which are also essential for investments.
Increased exports thus permit imports to be increased and all this results in the improvement
of the living standards of the inhabitants (population).

In addition, tourism can not make a major contribution to integrated national

development as it is a factor concerned with the import of luxury goods and is more or less
isolated. On the other hand, the supporters of tourism expansion in developing countries
refer to the foreign exchange earning and to its impact on the gross domestic product both
directly and through the operation of the expenditure multiplier.

According to peters, there are at least five potential benefits from tourism for any
developing country. These are:

(a) A contribution to the balance of payments as an earner of

hard currency;
(b) The dispersion (spreading) of development to non-
industrial regions;
(c) The creation of employment opportunities;
(d) The effect on general economic development through the
multiplier effect, and
(e) The social benefits arising from “a widening (broaden) of
people’s interest a new understanding of ‘foreigners’ and
foreigner’s tastes (experience).
