Tourism has taken a toll on many Native Hawaiians and is a huge human rights issue today. Most Hawaiians dislike tourism greatly due to the selfishness and greediness tourists bring to their home country. The pastor at a small rural church on the island of Kauai, Reverend Kaleo Patterson, has witnessed and dealt with numerous Hawaiians who struggle with the issues of tourism. Numerous vacation resorts that attract tourists have taken over gravesites of Hawaiians that have passed away. Due to this problem ancient Hawaiians have to partake in reburials. Tourism causes destruction to coral reefs and rivers because of mindless pollution. Reverend Patterson has protested and given public hearings in effort to acknowledge her fury on tourism.

Travel and tourism marketing are often categorized into several categories that are mainly related to public and private tourism marketing, national and international, demand and supply (Camison, 2000). Also, marketing plays a crucial role in the tourism industry due to its influence on behavior, attitude, and psychology of consumers that can positively affect the various phases of the entire decision-making process (Wynne et al., 2001). In fact, according to Wirtz and Mattila (2004), consumer behavior is considered as one of the most crucial issues of the tourism marketing due to the changed economic and social environment.

Tourism in Egypt was one of the main 3 sources of income Egypt counted on pre the revolution that have arisen in 2011. It started growing back post 2014 falling back down after the Russian airline bombing in 2015. Our current ordeal now is the fact that we don’t only need to revive Egypt’s past tourist flow but to increase it drastically to plug a huge deficit in Egypt’s GDP (Growth Domestic Product).

What makes Turkey and Dubai two of the top ten highest grossing touristic destinations well they studied the tourist needs and wants and provided them with all the information needed by providing applications, maps, flyers and brochures that tells them a lot of useful things to do in their country and tips to guide them, although both of them don’t have nearly as much destinations or sightseeing spots as Egypt do.
