Local government has no role to play in tourism developmentLocal government is one of the keys to tourism development, a total contradiction with that of the essay, which , I believe, really has no basis. stay standing. In this essay I will illustrate this point by showing the roles local government plays within the community and the importance it has in creating a successfully developed tourism product that maximizes benefits not only for the residences of the community but also for the tourist himself. Over the past forty years, tourism industry trends illustrate clear growth, both from a regional and global perspective. Due to this increase and growth of the industry, it ultimately brought significant benefits to communities, providing great opportunities, economic development, jobs and social benefits. Because of this advantage, it is imperative that communities take advantage of these opportunities. One of the main authorities that plays a key role in this success is that of local governments, which provide the ideal, authority, infrastructure and planning procedures to maximize benefits for their communities, in a sustainable manner. The reasons why the local government plays such an important role is due to its communication channels with the powers of its country, which control the actions and decisions of the country. The government creates local governments and provides the framework and influence for the decisions that the local government makes for its community. This is initially created by the government which sets the legislative framework that local governments must follow. The government then creates a local government to enforce the legislature and play a protective role for the community. The government cannot solve the problems of the entire country, so it uses local government to spread its ideas and exert influence over its regions and communities. It also illustrates that the local government plays a major role in the development of a community by ensuring the links between the people and the government, that it implements and addresses the problems, frameworks and ideals of its community, and that he receives the appropriate advice to develop the product in his region. Local government is ultimately created to nurture, channel and control the ideas of the country in its community in order to create benefits and realize...... middle of paper ...... and healthy returns for the residence of communities. Local government has no role to play in tourism development, this is a bold statement to say the least. The reason is that local governments steer their communities in the right direction, allocating scarce resources to appropriate development procedures. Today more than ever, the influence of correct allocation is evident, as these allocations are increasingly limited, and if not used correctly it is inevitable that in the long term market failures will arise. produce. Local government is the key to tourism development in all communities, with its guiding hand it will ultimately produce the best benefit for all at a sustainable level, which will increase tourist arrivals, increase benefits for the community and will create a much richer community and country.BibliographyCollier, Alan Principles of Tourism, Fourth Edition Longman 1997New Zealand Tourism AuthorityNew Zealand Tourism Strategy and ProgressNew Zealand Tourism AuthorityNew Zealand Tourism Authority Zeeland Current tourism problems in 1995
