Roles of National Organizations in Tourism

In order to achieve national development, the government should clearly delineate its policy with

national tourism policy through a variety of means that can include research, influencing the
tourism policy-making process, destination marketing, tourism product development, and the
maintenance of national standards for the tourism industry. NTOs are almost always led by the

membership and partnership agreements.
