Tourism industries are one of the fastest growing industries nowadays. In the category of industrialization, setting a tourism industry is one of the greatest ideas for the people of the town and for the tourists as well. As we know, the Clipper Bay has been granted by a fund for the economic growth and the tourism industry will provide jobs to the people and helps them in the growth of their own business both by the internal as well as by the external factors. Tourism ha s a large number of impacts on the society like some sort of loss to the cultural heritage, degradation of ecological factors, dislocation of social factors, etc. The cost benefit analysis helps the management of an industry in assuming the actual benefits to the industry to the total cost ratio. This ratio of the total amount of benefits to the total cost invested by the industry is critically evaluated by the cost benefit analysis. With the help of the cost benefit analysis the management can easily control its overall profit ratio regarding to the investment being made by the industry. This analysis helps the management in various forms regarding to the efforts and the cost involved or invested for introducing the process of economic growth (Sewell Marczak, 2008). The main objective for a sustainable tourism is to support the various problems arising at the time the establishment of a tourism industry in a new location or at a new place. Various problems can be faced by the management like problems related to the social equity, problems related to the environmental conditions, etc. It is one of the major responsibilities of the management to guide the people about the industry in a proper and easy way and make them clear about the various benefits regarding to the welfare of the population living in the town (Fien, Calder, White, 2010). The management needs to follow a particular strategy for the successful accomplishment of the various tasks like rising the value of the tourism, various advantages and the disadvantages of the mass tourism, advantages and disadvantages related to the ecotourism, etc. all this helps for the welfare of the industry and for the people living in the Clipper Bay. A sustainable tourism can be described as a tourism, which neither affects the environmental conditions of the location nor the social and cultural activities of the various communities related to the tourism industry on the regular visit of the tourists from across the world. On the other hand, we can also say that a sustainable tourism industry should be beneficial for all, i.e., for the tourists, for the surrounding environment and for the various local communities those are attached to the industry. A successful tourism industry works for the overall growth by providing different- different incentives to the employees for protecting the various heritage locations and the environment. This tourism industry will provide a large number of jobs to the people living in the Clipper Bay. Various consequences are necessary for the growth of the industry as imagined by the management for the upcoming decades. Infrastructure is required in a huge amount for the protection purposes of the complete system and for the protection of the surrounding environment. All of the infrastructure should be used in an appropriate manner, so that it can be utilized in such a way that no compromises should be faced by the future generations. Making the use of latest technologies in the transport sector is one of the major reasons for enlarging the tourism business on a world- wide level. Stability regarding to the relative political bodies has made people feel safe for moving from one place to the other for a long period of time. Holidays and the various leisure facilities being provided by the tourism industries helps in encouraging the people and attracts more and more people towards itself. Benefits and Problems regarding to the tourism give us a complete description about the various positive and negative impacts of tourism industry. A sustainable tourism is responsible for providing a large number of jobs to the people living in the town by creating a large number of jobs within the industry itself. The management of the industry has to keep an eye on the various benefits being provided to the staff as well as to the other people related to the industry. By providing various facilities regarding to the safety of the cultural heritage properties and the various living bodies getting affected by the environmental conditions helps the management in successful running of the industry. Mass tourism has a bad impact on both the environment as well as on the local people so it is the responsibility of the tourism industry to manage all the circumstances carefully. Economically sustainability completely depends upon the appropriate development, equity and peace. The involveme nt of the local representative is must for the successful growth of the tourism industry and it should also fulfil the daily needs of the various local bodies attached to the industry. The enforcement regarding to the minimum wages of the labor is must as it is already defined by the labor union. Special training programmes should be introduced by the management from time to time for guiding the new employees that how they have to interact with the tourist visiting to their place (Srinivas, 2001). Advantages and disadvantages of developing tourism at Clipper Bay is that it will provide employment to the people living there. Employment will act as a good source of income for the local people. Various businesses related to the tourism like airlines, hotels, Land transport facilities, etc. will also get a huge benefit from this. Tourism also provides various chances of collecting foreign exchange when a large number of tourists visit the Clipper Bay on a world-wide level. All these factors will help in the development of overall development of GDP of the country and it can also provide a good income to the people those who will guide the tourists about that place (Goodman, 2016). Economical disadvantages of the tourism are that they will affect the natural surroundings of the place. Attention towards the local architecture will decrease in the mass tourism days. For attracting more and more tourists towards this place, modification is necessary for which, a huge construction is r equired and for those construction purposes a large number of trees will be destroyed which surely affects the nature. All the construction processes will surely damage the wildlife parks and the hills surrounding the Clipper Bay, which will lead to affect the complete environment of the town. Socio- cultural advantages and disadvantages of developing the tourism industry at Clipper Bay will help in the overall development of the infrastructure, i.e., it will help in developing the roads, it will provide water facilities to the people, electricity will be provided to the people living in Clipper Bay, etc. The tourism industry will help in the cultural reservation by providing various economic incentives for the preservation of the food, active participation of all the people in the various local festivals depending upon the different cultural circumstances. It also provides security to the fashion and physical history of the place. Best class health care services will be provided to the people at their own place or we can say that at their doorstep (Lymos, 2014). On the other hand, there are a large number of disadvantages like destruction to the various cultural factors like different type of loss to the local language being used by the people, the loss to the religion be ing followed by the local bodies, destruction of the variety of rituals, etc. It also creates various chances of menial services, prostitution, gambling, drug trade, etc. These all factors are also responsible for diverting the young people from their studies, which will lead to an unrealistic change in the society. Environmental advantages and disadvantages of tourism play a vital role in the tourism industry. As we know, the natural environmental conditions as well as the man made environmental conditions, both have a huge impact on the tourism industry. We can say there is a complex relationship between the tourism industry and the surrounding environment. For the development of the tourism at the Clipper Bay, various types of modification are necessary, which affects the complete environment of the Clipper Bay. Mostly the environment id disturbed due to the construction processes being carried out at each and every location of the place (Johnson, 2014). For providing a large variety of facilities to the tourists a large number of resorts, hotels, shops, restaurants, etc. are continuously being constructed due to which the complete environment has a large number of bad impacts on it (Mozer, 2016). On the other hand, the tourism industry is very beneficial for the Clipper Bay, because the tour ism industry actively participates for the protection of the environment and for the conservation processes. It plays an efficient and an effective role in creating awareness among the local bodies regarding to the various important environmental values. The tourism industry also helps by serving the society with employment facilities and by providing various chances for the financial growth of the people (Theuns, 2015). Conclusion: The tourism industry provides a large number of facilities to all the local bodies by providing them a large number of jobs. The tourism industry helps in the overall growth of the Clipper Bay by attracting a large number of tourists towards the Clipper Bay. By making the use of a particular strategy, the tourism industry helps in the overall growth of the GDP of the country. Due to the tourism industry, the country got a chance for collecting a large amount of foreign exchange at the time when a large number of tourists visit the Clipper Bay from different countries across the world. For the successful running of the any of the tourism industry, it is necessary for the management to take some strict actions for the sake of the environment. They need to actively participate for the conservation of the various cultural activities, rituals, etc. to which the local bodies are attached from a long time. They need to take care of the heritage properties, hills, beach, marine life, etc. by which the Clipper Bay is completely surrounded. The main objective of the tourism industry is to fulfil all the needs of the tourists and to provide them a good quality of products and facilities. References Fien, J., Calder, M., White, C. (2010).
