growth in the recent years. The diversification of different economies has
made tourism one of the fastest growing sectors of the world. The growth that
has been experienced in the number of new tourist spots have also made
tourism a major socio-economic driver. The business volumes of tourism have
also been able to surpass the total business that is gained by the food products
or the oil exports. The growth of this sector thereby goes hand in hand with the
increase of competition and the diversification based activities. The global
spread of tourism based activities in the developed countries have provided
huge employment opportunities in the related sectors (Www2.unwto.org.
2018). UNWTO plays an important role in providing assistance to the
destinations so that they are able to acquire a sustainable position in the
industry. The UNWTO is an UN based agency that operates in the tourism
sector. The developing countries are able to benefit in a huge manner from the
sustainable tourism based activities. The UNWTO also aims at providing
adequate information about the growth that has been experienced in the arrival
of tourists in various destinations. The organization also provides a proper
forecast related to the growth that can occur in the arrivals of international
tourists in different areas in the future. UNWTO provides long term as well as
