Theese could be monuments, nature, … everything that could become the object of tourist interest. In recent years what could be the source of attraction of visitors had changed on consecuence of the changing of visitors needs and interests. every one wants to visit the super famous attractions all over the worls, but even not-so-famuous features in the destination is important to design an offer.

- In the early stages of tourism, the community is euphoric, welcomingthe potential economic and social benefits tourism may bring. This then moves to a state of apathy as the early promises are not realised by all members, moving on to annoyance with the inconveniences of the increased numbers of visitors, such as limited parking spaces and crowding. According to Doxey’s model, if the crowding increases, residents begin to show antagonism towards the visitors, which may ultimately be expressed through violence. The final stage that Doxey described is that of resignation, with many residents becoming resignedto the effects of tourism, possibly altering their behaviour or simply avoiding visitors.Doxey referred to this model as an ‘Irridex’ and, while it is extremely simple, it has remained one that is often referred to by community planners when considering the potential negative aspects of tourism..
- Visitors can learn interesting aspects of local culture, they can experienca an immersion in the residents life, meet new people, learn something about themselves Residents can do the experience of encounter, learn something about the visitors culture, to refine the art of hospitality
