stability will be maintained by different countries. Countries have to face the negative impact if

breakdown was faced by it. By this the sector saw an increase as now the prices of the packages
decreased by which more persons were willing to travel. But also the negativity will be
developed in the minds as they will not be able to feel secure.
The positive implication was noticed after the exit of Britain in case of Brexit. By this

success it will be required that proper political stability shall be maintained by which the
country as well as the tour operators will be benefited. For this it will be required that staff shall
