So many countries are desired today in terms of development because of how serious they have harnessed their potentials in the area of tourism. Any country that takes tourism very serious will benefit in a number of ways. Tourism creates employment opportunities for people. Because there are different operations going on within a tourist center, there arises the need for more workers in order to ease the way things are done and to provide maximum satisfaction for the visitors.

Through tourism, your country's cultural heritage and values can be made known to outsiders, and as a citizen, it gives you a kind of prestige. When tourists visit your country, they won't come alone; they also come with their money and spend everything in your country. This is exactly how your country generates more foreign exchange, and it also contributes to your country's GDP. Money gotten from tourism can be used for various developmental projects.

Tourism is good for the economy because it creates employment for the people within the country. It also assists in spreading cultural recognition and maintaining local culture and customs. The money generated from tourism can be used to develop transportation and services such as roads and airports. The funds might also be financed for education, sanitation, and clean drinking water.

The money could support the people in the country, and businesses and property can be protected from the money made from tourism. It cultivates foreign exchange and encourages trade, entrepreneurship, and income (especially with smaller businesses). It also stimulates a more significant collection of taxes and revenues.

Tourism has several positive effects on a country. It affects the country’s growth by creating new jobs and many employment opportunities. This, in turn, raises money for the people and the country at large. The most direct impact is felt by the following sectors: lodging, restaurants, transportation, amusements, and retail trade. It enhances trade and entrepreneurship.

Tourism adds to the consumer population of a country for a short period of time, which increased demands for consumer products. This helps boost most of the service and products in a country. In a bid to meet up with global standards, most countries improve on their infrastructures and facilities. This brings about development and better living for the people.
