Abstract

Tourism originates in an art of living which reflects economic well-being and high social status. Over the years, tourism has developed a solid reputation as one of the world’s major economic activities with a high potential for further growth. The challenges of the late 20th century for the industry are twofold: to ensure sustainable growth and to adopt a development strategy that will be economically viable, socially acceptable, and environmentally sound in the long term.

You gather the idea that Mauritius was made first and then Heaven, and that Heaven was copied after Mauritius.

Mark Twain
