region this is complex for the country infrastructure to cope up with all overcrowd number of
persons (Smith, 2019). Poor knowledge of social values impacts on local people by influencing
their culture in a negative manner. On the other side, unrest among persons create problems to
offer right services to the individuals who buy the tourist services.
