In addition, it should be noted that the nurturing of tourism industry is critical for sustainable tourism
development in this region as tourism industry is sensitive to external shocks, thus, requires quick
response from all tourism stakeholders. Therefore, it needs intense attention due to changing realities
occurring in the competitive international tourism market outlook. The pre-requisites for nurturing this
industry are not only limited to cooperation required from all concerned bodies of the tourism industry, the
industry is also in need of much integration among national governments, regional and international
community through providing authentic support and political will.
