Tourism is currently recognized as a global industry which is highly growing at a high rate, and like any industry that grows rapidly, the activities of tourism can have a substantial impact on the local development processes. The local effects of the industry are varied and usually distinctive to the industry. Sustainable tourism endeavours to create a less impact on the natural environment as well as the local culture and social life, whilst supporting to create earnings and employment opportunities for local community and promoting the conservation of the ecosystems in the local area. There are three main models of sustainable tourism which are ecotourism, coastal tourism and community base tourism. The main aspect in all these models is to enhance sustainable tourism through giving priority to the local community environment, social life and cultural aspects. However, at times these objectives have not been able to be achieved.
