Abstract

In many Third World countries tourism is an economic activity the importance of which can hardly be ignored 1. Thus it is obvious that the governments of those countries, besides paying attention to the usual sectors such as agriculture, industry, mining, transport and communication, public health and hygiene and education, should also engage in sectoral programs with regard to tourism. Since a sector comprises, for the most part, the producing or operating units in the economy that share a common function or output 2, tourism lays claim to a sectoral approach. In tourism there clearly exists a common function of activities, comprising both Services and production of goods Pertot speaks of a mixed commodityservice exchange 3 for the sake of the tourist. The separate activities together constitute the compound tourist product.
