It is a fact that tourism has major effects on the economies of tourist destination areas (Mathieson & Wall, 1982). In order for these effects to be positive, sustainable tourism should ensure practicable, long-term economic operations in which provide socio-economic benefits to all stakeholders that are fairly distributed. This includes stable employment and income-earning opportunities and social services to host communities, and contributing to poverty alleviation (UNWTO, 2010). The key indicators in positive economic impacts are increase in employment, rise in income levels, strengthening of existing and creating alternative livelihoods (Equations, 2008).
