Tourism is one of the World‘s largest and fastest growing industries. In terms of revenue and the number of people involved, it has become world‘s third industry after chemicals and fuel Industry. Tourism helps nations to earn a large sum of foreign exchange without exporting any tangible product. Besides, tourism provides employment to a large number of people directly and indirectly.
