"Four different perspectives of tourism can be identified: 1) The tourist: The tourist seeks various psychic and physical experiences and satisfactions. The nature of these will largely determine the destinations chosen and the activities enjoyed. 2) The business providing tourist goods and service: Business people view tourism as an opportunity to make a profit by supplying the goods and services that the tourist market demands. 3) The government of the host community or area: Politicians view tourism as a wealth factor in the economy of their jurisdictions.

Of importance to this group, for example, it is the effect of the interaction between large numbers of international visitors and residents."
