planning and development process. There are four main stakeholders who play important role in
the sustainable tourism development (Long and Nguyen, 2018). They are the national
government, local government, tourism establishment and enterprises, tourists, tourism
employees, local peoples and other stakeholders. National government have an important role
in the tourism development, they make planning to execute the tourism activities at the national
level. Planning need appropriate policies for implementation and design. Their roles include in
the infrastructures like roads, railways and ports which help to promote the destination at
international level. Local government it helps to promote the local tourists attractions and
provide some infrastructure and services to support the tourism industries and help to manage the

sustainable tourism development. This includes the airlines, trains and buses to transport the
tourists from one place to another. Restaurants provide them food and beverages and hotel give
them place to stay. Tourists includes the business travellers, tourists for the particular
destinations and sites and attractions this is the most important stakeholder for the tourism. They

share their experiences about the sites and attractions through the oral communication or through
the social media. These help to attract more tourists towards the country (Nalakath and Koshy,
2019). Tourism employee are the professionals and consultants both and have a very important
role in this development. In Canada there are 2.4 million jobs in tourism sectors. These shows
that employees and professionals are important for the tourism industry. Local people play an
important role in tourism as well, they are authorized to refuse any tourism development. That is
why they are necessary to be involved in the decision-making process (Nguyen and et.al., 2019).
Tourists have many benefits from the local people as they may help them to visit some unique
destinations. Other stakeholder includes the institutions for the financing tourism projects,

role in tourism development process.
There are 6 macro environmental factors which are contributing to the sustainable

With the popular facilities of hotels and places to stay have a friendly hospitality, cruise facility
and the most effective tourism facility is private jets in the hotels which help country in their
sustainable development. Economic factors is a positive factor for the tourism industry, as the
economy in the world grows individuals are more able to earn more. With the living expenses

before (Rachmawati and Fountain, 2020). It is lead in the good start in the use of the electronic
goods and more peoples are being able to travel. Rising the wages helps people to spend more
money on the leisure and paid activities. The sharing economy also refers to the exchange of
goods and services such as Uber and Airbnb. Socio- cultural factors includes the demographic
changes in Canada like family, community and relationship which are frequent in the society.
There is no doubt to travel fashionable, with the rising in social media activity people have a
more constantly social media presence (Radovanov and et.al., 2020). It has the ambition to know
about the natural and cultural environment like food, traditions, lifestyles etc. these factor is
positive for the tourism industry. Technological factors is one of the biggest factor which
influencing the tourism industry with the development of transport. Many of the travellers have a
more transportation option as before especially the aeroplanes as they are cheaper some times
and faster. It has a positive as well as negative impact because change in technology some times

it makes difficulty for the tourism industry to adapt the changes. Legal factors refers to the local
and federal laws which have a major negative impact on the Canada's tourism (Rasoolimanesh

transport pollution may have not welled effect the tourism industry. As these transportations are
used more their impact on the environment increases. It has a negative impact on the tourism
industry as it have a many environmental laws.
The basic elements of competitive micro- environment are suppliers and supporting
industries, tourism and hospitality enterprises, marketing intermediaries and facilitators,
customers and the destination marketing organization and the other public. These factors help to
motivate the demand of the new tourism product of the country. Suppliers and supporting
industries include the transportations such as air transport, surface transport and water transport.
These all factors are more effective in the Canada's tourism industries. Tourism and hospitality
enterprises include travel agents, tour guides, hotel manager, theme park managers and tourism
officers (Rebelo, Patuleia and Dias, 2022). These all peoples plays a important role in the
Canada's competitive micro environment some hotels include Hotel Tim Hortons, Hotel BLU
and Auberge des 21. Marketing intermediaries and facilitators are the agents who
intermediates the booking, tickets, hiring and accommodation. These all help the tourists to
travel whichever destinations they want, they provide bookings and better rental options for
them. Customers as tourists it is a base which attract more customers and create the reason
behind the travelling in the tourism industry which affect the businesses (Streimikiene and et.al.,
2021). The tourist relief fund allowed Canada to provide the new tourism product which is a
winter experience in the park's water maze. This new product influence more tourists towards the
country's tourism destination. Other public include the role of government in the tourism
industry such as national tourists board, government agencies and local authorities. There are
some motivating factors which influence the demand of the new products in the tourism industry.
The tourists need change the better destination in Canada influence many tourists to visit over
there for their change and that increase the demand of the tourism product. They travel for the
relaxation and health as many tourists need the relaxation at their place, but they could not get
it the destinations at the Canada have magnificent products of tourism which create a high

demand of the product (Voskresenskaya, Shandova and Sofiienko, 2020). There are many
reasons to travel but travelling for health is one of the reason people used to travel more than,
