there will be unsustainable tourism there will be overcrowding,
commercialization of industry, low nature of administrations, devastation of

monetary advantages for the host nation, will limit the negative effects on
nature, and get the best for the group, guests and nearby legacy (Alonso and
Liu, 2012).
Qatar authorities shall make sure that right kind of sustainable development
practices are being adopted within the region, which will not only help
companies but also visitors as well as tourists. In general, it shall make sure
