The various levels of tourism development preparation are as mention below:
International: The global system such as Organization for Economic Co- Operation and
Development (OECD) have the missionary post in order to advance the line which will help to
better the system and cultural well being of group around a world (Wall, 2016). Thus, it is the
essential tool that help in planning and even support the development as well. At this level,
Tourist planning Qatar emphasis on country's transportation system.

that are in charge of government, national volunteer and private firms who work with a
government. Thus, it also act as a route in order to promote the tourist and also helps to increase
the efficiency of the a state as well. The National organization also animate the national and
clubby capitalist to activity in business by boost the good in the same way, it also help to create a
healthier, beautiful and sustainable environment (Tirado Ballesteros and Hernández, 2019).This

problem of recession in a country (Tosun and Jenkins, 2016). Apart from this, an effective

mainly concern with the economic impacts and can be understood as a overall addition in the
financial gain of group who placed in that country in Qatar (Hatipoglu, Alvarez and Ertuna,
2016). Therefore, STEAM model is a tourism economic impact process that measure the
touristry from side ahead, by the utilization of general demand side information and touristry
action (Bramwell and Sharman, 2015). Thus, STEAM model's main purpose is to use the
amount, the amount of general economical effect of business enterprise and use of mixture of
part that consider the force amount, betterment and visitors outlay level as well.
Environmental measure: This kind of measuring mainly aim is to measure the biology
cost and its main aim is to forebode the situation effect of a planned evolution act in Qatar that
make sure that possible risk are prediction, provide essential activity to obviate (Saarinen,
Rogerson and Hall, 2017). Further, Environmental Impact Assessment also sewing data that
carry out the exercise by the creator that change Local Planning Authority to realize the biology
feeling of a improvement.
Social Measure: It is one of the least hard to standard because they are frequently soft
and individualized. Basically there are two primary acting for assembling info by using primary

source through surveys, questionnaire or interview. Secondly, through secondary sources
through government records, public documents, newspaper and some documentaries. Apart from
this, there are some other measures that should be consider such as Travel Intensity Rate that is
the figure of traveler per 1000 people and per squared km of entire onshore region (Hall, 2019).
Further, Human Development Index is also helps to incorporate fiscal and cultural separation to

Development that make sure that productivity can be
sustained for a long term for the future generations.

There are different steps of planning which are as
mentioned below:
Project design: It is the first stage in which project for
Qatar is design as per analysing the situation.

the second stage where aims and objectives are formulated
and if there is any issue then try to solve these.
Survey/ Develop and screen indicators: Through survey,
Qatar can easily analysis the demand of public and then
make strategies and even by using screen indicators such

includes the seasonality and its implication on the level of planning needed for the
maintenance of resources. Another factor that also affect the sustainability of tourism
is growing population. Further, vacation packages in Qatar can also accelerates the
destruction process by the help of tour companies, airlines and other travel providers
