The role of the tourism sector in expanding economysaranyapugazh
Tourism has significant potential to expand economic opportunity in developing countries. However, the tourism sector lags behind other industries in adopting corporate social responsibility practices to maximize these opportunities. While some tourism companies have innovative programs, overall the sector has focused more on environmental and philanthropic efforts than on business strategies to strengthen local economic impacts.
