Different kinds of amenities and tourist attraction sites enhance tourism. Such include public art, constructions, and structures with uniqueness and distinction as well as cultures and communities of different ethnicities (Giaoutzi, 2017). In this regard, in order to keep tourists coming, there is a need to maintain a high level of maintenance (Mason, 2015). The government more often than not is required to run the supervision and standardization of the tourism industry. Such attraction sites such as historic sites and parks require a high level of maintenance and regulation (Nunkoo, 2015). It is important to note that value-added services and perspectives that enhance the tourism industry are usually considered a plus towards boosting and promoting tourism. Boosterism and Sustainable Tourism Boosterism refers to the promotion given to a place intending to highlight and to bring into limelight the tourist attraction sites in a place.

This includes talking positively about such a place and the value proposition of such a place (Cheer et al. Sustainable tourism is described as tourism in which tourists are eager to visit a place and interact with the habitats. This is important in ensuring that tourism as an industry is productive and has value (Saarinen, 2017). The Destination Management Organization (DMO) is responsible for the organizing and ensuring that tourists travel and carry out their tour plans in order and timely. With a country that has many tourist attractions, it is essential to have an organization that advances and enhances the decision making the process for tourists (Long, 2017). DMO is responsible for such tasks. For example, whenever planning for a particular event, DMO would recommend the ideal destination for the event.

If a group of tourists wants to visit a certain area that has certain elements, it is best for DMO to guide and advice accordingly (Della et al. It is important to engage airline companies to put the country as a brand out there. Local communities are also an integral group in destination decision making (Lamsfus et al. Most of the tourist and tourism attraction sites have communities that protect them and keep them intact. More so, whenever tourists pay a visit, they usually have an interest in interacting with the local community. Tourists have a lot to learn and experience from the local communities and interacting with a foreign culture gives new dimensions and understanding by tourists (Boavida-Portugal, 2017). The developments behind such campaigns are geared towards creating an environment that gives access to tourism in countries as well as promoting responsible tourism.

It is important to note positive contributions and influence that has been exhibited by UNWTO in developing tourism blocks that are all rounded. For instance, UNWTO not only vouches for tourism but for tourism that has different aspects and interests such as tourism that promotes respect among humanity (Poudel, 2016). As such, their objectives are against any activity or inclination that could lead to race or gender discrimination. In this regard, the overall effect has tourists who visit areas with no fear of victimization, marginalization as well as for the locals too.  Tourism Management, 46, 623-634.
