It reveals the past heritage and scenic beauty belonging to other nations. Tourism also causes environmental, cultural and social effects.

General instability of the nation causes bad affect on tourism. Generally political parties cause serious problems. The growing violence and international threats affects the whole tourism industry. To promote safe tourism, all these activities must be avoided. Tourism often ushers in new life styles, like arrangements that are desired by tourists to make them feel like at home.
