Tourism industry is the main influential type of industry in the world. It is not just hundreds of thousands of business but a global industry with major policy implications (Smith, 1995). It is based on different components and interrelated parts. For example, transportation, accommodation, attractions, activities, marketing and government regulation. Government in all levels encourage tourism development because it generates new wealth through export sales and foreign exchange earnings. According to Smith (1995), one important characteristics of the tourism industry is that it is labor-intensive. It generates employment opportunities. A given level of revenue or capital investment creates many jobs in tourism than the same level of revenue or capital investment in agriculture and automobile petrochemicals. It provides employment to unskilled, semi-skilled and skilled man power workers.
