TOURISM POLICY
It is a set of rules, regulation, guideline, discussion, decision and practices which is
executed by governments, often in collaboration with public and private sectors. Public sector
includes central government and local authorities. Tourism policy considers number of
components such as tourism attraction and activities, accommodation, transportation facilities
and services and infrastructure etc. Main goal of tourism policy is to enhance visitors experience
(Sheresheva, 2018). It plays crucial role to enhance tourism activity within region. Basically
tourism industry implements different tourism policies because as it provides assurance and
safeguard of the influential standardization of procedure and practices to tourists. Examples of
tourism policy such as employment law policy, Visitors policy.
Objectives of tourism policy: The main objective of tourism policy is to lead drastic change in
economy, recruits employment opportunity for those people who don't have job. Another
advantage is to bring sociocultural benefits in Serengeti. Tourism policy is important for various

areas such as economical, socio-cultural and environmental. Government also involves in
tourism development due to some principal reasons such as
Economic issues: Number of public sectors gets chance to induce their business in high position
by elevating economical scale. That why government supports such kind sector to develop
destination. For example, Serengeti is destination place which is famous for biodiversity that's
why number of visitors comes to visit the place and pays cash for consuming services.
Social consideration: It is another reason of government involvement in this development
because it leads social and cultural benefits of tourism (Björk and Kauppinen-Räisänen, 2016).
For example number of tourism who belongs to different culture and possess different
knowledge regarding their regions. Here tourist get chance to exchange their cultural knowledge,
traditional craft and ceremonies. That's why government permits different type of tourist to visit
all over the world. To understand social consideration there is an example Serengeti is home of
diversity in which various type of animals lives i.e. African buffalo, eland, waterbuck and topi. It
makes attract to tourist for visiting place. On other hand local people who live surround the place
gets chance to communicate different type of people. Thus, both visitors and local people
exchange their culture by communicating to each other.
Environmental issues: It is important reason of government participation in tourism
development because pollution, land use problem and other environmental hazardous etc. are
created by tourist during visiting places (Teare, 2019). That's why tourism planning becomes
poor and distract tourism, destination.
Objectives of tourism policy can achieved by various operations such as -
Planning: The main goal of tourism planning is to tourism development by minimizing negative
impact and accomplishes demand of tourism policy. Generally tourism development requires
both type of sectors such as public, private in which involves capital investment projects such as
hotel accommodations, transportation links and infrastructure etc.

sources of funding for the national tourism company. It plays vital role for protection and
prevention of tourism services and resources i.e. natural, historical and culture etc. of the
Serengeti.
