The rapid growth of tourism on large scale in some countries in the region has been a significant agent of these, not all very welcome, changes. Like in most developing countries of the world., tourism in many Asian countries is also conceived as a powerful

Furthermore, the economic position of the South Central Asia region greatly prohibits their success, and causes them to be categorized as a…
