the demand of the huge number of tourist, the balance needs to make through equal
and efficient supply (Giaoutzi, 2017). The stability among the quantity and need is
11

required to be fulfilled through the tour and tourism operators. Proper supply referred
fulfils the client requirement by providing them goods and services in specific time.
As per the law of supply, the growth of the price at destination and services is

2016).. The main focus has to be given to infrastructure development and community
welfare schemes which lead to increase the tourism in Croatia. The distribution of
tourism services are based on demand and supply law.

economic development. In addition to this, or can be said that main attaining the
balance will also be profitable for companies while staying competitive in market.

different morals and ethical issues that have to face by the tourism industry (Sidali,
Kastenholz and Bianchi, 2015 ). Various morals and ethical issues that arises from
enclave tourism can be the local communities that do not have much income from
the enclave tourism as business organisation are used to dominant the areas in
order to increase their profit. Along with this, the development of enclave tourism

communities from the tourism development.
