Numerous operational areas in tourism also offer immense opportunities for entrepreneurs to establish their own business – big or small. Yet, Tourism studies as an academic discipline is not very well developed. Opportunities for its study are also limited. A large number of work force has had no formal study of various aspects of tourism.
