Abstract

Tourism is a key to enhancing the pace of economic growth and generating more employment opportunities in many countries of the world (Aryal, Cockfield and Maraseni, 2018). Recently, it has become an important factor for achieving the development and financial goals, especially in developing countries, at a much faster rate. In order to draw the maximum benefits possible, these countries are therefore now developing their tourism industry (Shiji, 2016).
