them comfortable as they want. They have to perform their functions in a legal way which
improves services as compared to others.
4.3 Moral and ethical problems of developing and promoting enclave tourism
Enclave tourism is tourism in destination where people activities are congregated and
planned in one small geographical filed in way to allow people's to experience the whole process
of travel without travel so far away into distant areas of legion country. Thus, after that
organizations faced moral and ethical issues that impact on business growth and sustainability.
Tourist need to go at some places where they beliefs and trust about culture of destination at that
point make barriers in the process of providing services and facilities.
Ethical tourism means tourism that benefits individual and environment in various
destinations. It offers the best income source to families who are living in areas, by resourcing
goods and services. Moral values is an important point of developing and promoting tourism
sector. It has to focus on the culture of people and give them services according to it. Tourism
industry and society have differences in their beliefs, people need to save trees in city but
company doesn't respond their beliefs and thoughts. Thus, they do not work according to it that
may create issues between both of them and also make barrier in tourism developing process.
