Abstract :

The key elements of economic change associated with destination tourism include both positive and negative impacts. Development of infrastructure, employment generation or livelihood, publicity, increase in income of local people, availability of more facility and economic diversification and regeneration are positive economic impact. Negative impacts include an increase in prices of goods, land and housing, shortage of goods and services etc. Therefore, in order to examine the economic significance of tourism in general, it is necessary to determine tourism contribution to income levels, employment opportunities, government revenue creation, foreign exchange inflows, economic diversification and regional stimulation. The total impacts of tourism consist of the direct plus indirect plus induced effects. The ratio of a change in the levels of expenditure and the effect which it has upon the income levels of the economy is known as the tourist income multiplier. Multiplier values can be derived for government revenue, employment and import requirements.
