Consideration
For many communities in developing countries, a new tourist venture
can bring significant economic benefits for local people. However,
there can also be negative concerns that can affect communities that
also need to be considered.
From the visitor perspective, tourism destinations and operators also
need to be mindful of inflationary practices or two-tiered pricing (i.e.
different prices for the local and visitors), which may be perceived as
exploitative and fraudulent. Balancing the visitor economy to ensure
visitor expenditure is maximised and retained in the local community
is a critical priority for tourism destinations.
