What are the benifits of undertaking both national and regional tourism planning?

Answer 1

Tourism should serve the community first and
the tourist second. Tourism development must be
compatible with other activities in the area and be
supported by the local population. Therefore, the tourism
plan should be closely coordinated with other local and
regional planning efforts, if not an integral part of
them.

Planning is necessary for tourism to develop in ways that are beneficial, sustainable and not detrimental to the environment, culture and community”
Tourism connects all aspects of community – environment, businesses, residents, services, commerce, communication, hospitality, information. Tourism is complex and requires a commitment to ongoing organization, leadership, marketing, networking and evaluation.

National gives us the national resources we need such as airports, rail links etc.

Local gives us local resources such as attractions, hotels and stuff like that.
