1

by the fact that whether the country is UK or China. The visitor will be attracted only if political
stability will be maintained by different countries. Countries have to face the negative impact if
this as in case of UK, its currency declined at the time of election and by this economic
breakdown was faced by it. By this the sector saw an increase as now the prices of the packages
decreased by which more persons were willing to travel. But also the negativity will be
developed in the minds as they will not be able to feel secure.
The positive implication was noticed after the exit of Britain in case of Brexit. By this
the number of the tourist increased and also there were more number of the Visa centres which
were established in China. So it can be said that after the countries made themselves separate
nations they achieved the growth and that was maintained by providing the visitors with
additional benefits.

factors which are leading to the improper development will be identified. The another impact
will be that employees will have to be provided understanding of the changes in the policies
which will take place and that will be a difficult task and can create negative impact. So to get
saved from all these negative impacts of the political changes it will be required that such
policies shall be formulated by which this effect can be minimised (Scott Hall and Gössling,
2016).
According to above mentioned information it can be said that in order to achieve the
success it will be required that proper political stability shall be maintained by which the
country as well as the tour operators will be benefited. For this it will be required that staff shall
be trained by which they will be able to deal with the customers in better manner and will be
able to provide that the security that they will be given best facilities. The changes which are
introduced by the regulatory bodies will also be reduced by which government stability will be
achieved. By following all this more tourist will be attracted and this will help in creating good
value for the country and all the unfavourable aspects will be managed in most appropriate
manner (Kapiki,2011).
