holiday find a destination which is special in terms of natural beauty, history, culture or
9

landscape. No tourist services may be available there and local individuals and not
included in tourist money making activities. For example, Cuba is known for its cultural
history and Egypt is known for its ancient pyramid-shaped masonry structures.
2. Involvement: in the stage, local individuals start to notice that increasing number of
individuals are coming there to their local area and then start business to render food,
accommodation, transport and guides. Local people of Egypt and Cuba started their
business.
3. Development: in this phase, big organisations start to see emerging potential of place as
tourist resort and thus start to invest money. They develop large hotels and sell package
holidays which in turn increase the number of tourists and maximize job opportunities for
local people. The big organisations start to invest in Egypt and Cuba.

make their money from the sector. However, it can remove individual from other
industries like fishing and farming and these can suffer as a result.

growth of resort. The number of individuals going level off and initiates to decline which
threatens local businesses and services.

tourist attractions in order to see the way they have changed over time. In the first stage, the
pattern of visitation of visitors is irregular and local individuals are not involved in money
making activities. Some parts of Egypt can be used as example of exploration stage. In the
second stage, the number of people visiting the place is increasing which put pressure on national
and local authorities to contribute in development of the region by improving the infrastructure
and transportation facilities. It includes the less developed areas of Egypt and Cuba. In the
development stage, tourist attraction is widely recognised due to heavy promotional and
10

advertising efforts. At that time, investors and foreign organisation see opportunities of financial
gains and started to invest in the place. The example of the place includes Egypt. In fourth stage,
number of visitors are high and example includes pyramid shaped masonry structures. In the
