Explain how governments may intervene in the management of destinations.
In this assessment I will be looking at why tourism is so important to the UK’s economy and how the government influences tourism.

The Governments reason to intervene in the management of tourism destinations is to boost the economy and to create as many jobs as possible to reduce unemployment in the country, “governments have a strong interest in tourism in terms of its benefits to the economy and society.” (www.culture.gov.uk)
