It is also noticeable that characteristics of the destinationsare very important in determining thetrends and the future trends of the touristdestinations as visitors consider these aspects very minutely before visiting theplaces(Gimblett,1998). As discussed above, there are some issues which harm thepossibilities of the destinations such as terrorism, militancy and poor facilities etc. Inthe recent times, there have been some declines in the tourism industries of Turkey,Egypt and many other countries as these countries have problems regarding politicalunrests, terrorism, lack of peaceful environment and lack of proper democracy. Forthese crises, the social and political characteristics of the destinations in thesecountries are damaged and ultimately their tourism industries are affected and theysee less tourists in the destinations. On the opposite, the countries which havepeaceful political and social environment and no militancy and terrorism areattracting more tourists. Regarding the numbers of tourists, it can be said that thepeople of the developed countries visit the tourist destinations all over the worldmostly.
