There are various groups that promote tourism 

One of the group that can promote tourism is the government. They can influence the number of visitors and their length of stay, authorise air landings and allow the building of facilities such as hotels. They are involved in planning, funding and building infrastructure projects related to tourism such as airports. They also play a major role in ensuring the safety and security of the sites that tourists frequently visit. This will attract more tourists coming back to the country as the facilities and infrastructure are well developed. The tourists will have a sense of security in the country and they will be more attracted to visit the country again.For example, the Singapore Tourism Board is a government agency that promotes Singapore as a tourist destination. They encourage the development of new attractions such as River safari so as to attract more tourists coming in to the country and also creating job opportunities for the locals. 

However, the role of promoting tourism not only lies on the government. Another group that can help to promote tourism is the media. Media refers to which news and information are shared to the public. 
News and information can be shared through the internet, television and radio. Positive reports about a country and encourage tourists to visit an area and they are now more aware of destinations that they have previously not considered before. For example, Tripadvisor is a website that offer information and reviews of a destination, Travellers are able to gain knowledge on where to eat.Travel writers can offer their opinions and comments on this website. They may also advise 'dos' and 'do nots' on tourist behaviour. These reviews are easily acessible from various media platforms and this will influence the decisions making of the travellers. With good reviews of an area of a country, the country will earn a lot of tourist dollars.
Another group that can help to promote tourism is the International organisations.
Many countries come and work together for a common purpose. They strive to


 

The Government's role in promoting tourism is by influencing the number of visitors and the length of their stay. This is accomplished by authorizing airplane landings and allow facilities such as hotels for hospitality needs. They can also fund infrastructure projects which are directly related to tourism like hotel and airports.

The media also plays a part in promoting tourism. The media includes every broadcasting medium such as newspapers, magazines, TV, radio, billboards, direct mail, telephone, tax and internet.The growing popularity of the internet and social sites such as face book and twitter, social media is now and important channel that allows messages to be spread to the public.Through these mediums are where travelling companies can advertise what they have to offer when travelling and as a result, tourists will become more aware of destinations that they are previously not aware of thus popularity of different tourists sites increases through online mediums. For example, TripAdvisor is a website that offer information and reviews of a destination

Lastly, International organizations plays their part in promoting tourism.They are  responsible for the promotion of responsible, sustainable and universally accessible tourism. It is the leading international organization in the field of tourism, which promotes tourism as a driver of economic growth, inclusive development and environmental sustainability and offers leadership and support to the sector in advancing knowledge and tourism policies worldwide. It serves as a global forum for tourism policy issues and a practical source of tourism knowledge. It encourages the implementation of the Global Code of Ethics for Tourism to maximize the contribution of tourism to socio-economic development, while minimizing its possible negative impacts, and is committed to promoting tourism as an instrument in achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals geared towards eliminating poverty and fostering sustainable development and peace worldwide. 

Government play a very important role of promoting tourism.They could  promote tourism by building good road and communications infrastructure, in curbing corruption, and creating political stability. Some of the example could be Marina Bay,Singapore and even  Eiffel Tower, Frace    - all of which create a country which tourists are more likely to want to visit to enjoy the view, culture or even have fun. 

 Media do also play a significant role in promoting tourism. They could promote tourism through internet. Like Hotel Combines App that shows people the lowest price of different location and it offers information and what people could do there. This would make tourist feel convenient and would like to visit the country 

 In order to better position tourism in the development agenda and maximize this potential, UNWTO has come together with seven UN agencies and programmes – the International Labour Organization (ILO), International Trade Centre (ITC), UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), UN Development Programme (UNDP), UN Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the World Trade Organization (WTO) – to create the UN Steering Committee on Tourism for Development (SCTD). 

I agree with the statement. Planning authorities have a important role for the beneficial of the country. There are three authorities that a country needs, these three are government, media and international organisation. The first greatly impact on the country is the government, the government role in the country is to ensure the safety of the country. For example, if the country have a low rate on security in the country, the number of tourist visiting the country will decrease as they think that the country is lack of security that make them feel insecure. Therefore, government have a important role keeping the country safe and secure.
The second authorities is media. In the century of technology tourist uses internet to slightly understand the country they visit, through news tour websites and etc. For example, a news that said that the country have a recent attack by criminal. Tourist will start to think that if the tour is worth it or not. Therefore, media is also one of the authorities that can affect the movement of tourism. 

 

Government 

- They play an important role as they are able to influence the number of visitors and their length of stay, authorise air landings and allow the building of facilities such as hotels.
 - They control in many aspects like the in building of infrastructure projects such as airports, roads and ports.
 - Example, in Singapore, Singapore Tourism Board (STB) is an agency promoting tourists destination. STB also building attraction places such as River Safari and Integrated Resorts. It also creates new business opportunities for tourism industry in Singapore.

Media

-  Online reports, news and also through all types of social media platforms able to let tourists to know how the country is like so they could make a choice to visit it.e reports, it will 
- There's both pros and cons about circulating about how the country have or are through media.  For positive reports, it able to influence and attract tourists to visit places of a country with good shopping opportunities and attractive scenery.
- However, there's also negative reports that will have incidents such as violence, disease outbreaks and natural disasters that can determine visitors both immediately and for many years to come

Government plays a key role in promoting tourism directly involved in the planning, funding and building infrastructures linked to tourism, such as airports. They also play a major role in ensuring the safety and security of the sites that tourists frequently visit. Their involvement in catering to the needs of the tourists can influence the number of visitors and their length of stay as they had to ensure the destination would be appealing to them. The Singapore tourism Board (STB) is a government agency that promotes Singapore as tourist destination. It aims to develop Singapore as a leading tourist destination for leisure and business in the region. As such the STB has encouraged the development of new attractions, such as River Safari and the Integrated Resort. As a result of active involvement of the government to promote tourism such as through the opening of new attraction, it is able to appeal to the tourists and attract them to visit Singapore as their choice of destination. 

Media refers to the channels through which news and information are communicated to the public, such as television, radio, newspapers and the internet. The types of reports can influence the decision of tourists to visit the area. Positive reports such as good shopping opportunities can encourage tourists to visit while negative reports such as incidents of violence can deter visitors. The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) stated that the number of tourists visiting the popular winter sun destination will drop by 900,000 over the next six months after reports by the media on the country's political turmoil and violent protests was made known to public in 2014. Hence, the types of information provided by the media can influence the tourists’ decision to visit a destination. 

 International Organization comprises a group of countries which work together for a common purpose. Reports produced by the international organization can encourage or discourage tourists in visiting a place. When the leading authority for health within the United Nations system, the World Health Organization (WHO) provided situation updates and health advisories on avian influenza (H5N1) from 2003 to 2013. Such information discourages tourists from visiting at risk countries. Thus, this shows that international organization is capable of influencing global tourist’s behaviour in the planning of their trips. 

GOVERNTMENT 

Government plays a key role in promoting tourism directly involved in the planning, funding and building infrastructures linked to tourism, such as airports. They also play a major role in ensuring the safety and security of the sites that tourists frequently visit. Their involvement in catering to the needs of the tourists can influence the number of visitors and their length of stay as they had to ensure the destination would be appealing to them. The Singapore tourism Board (STB) is a government agency that promotes Singapore as tourist destination. It aims to develop Singapore as a leading tourist destination for leisure and business in the region. As such the STB has encouraged the development of new attractions, such as River Safari and the Integrated Resort. As a result of active involvement of the government to promote tourism such as through the opening of new attraction, it is able to appeal to the tourists and attract them to visit Singapore as their choice of destination. 

MEDIA 

Media refers to the channels through which news and information are communicated to the public, such as television, radio, newspapers and the internet. The types of reports can influence the decision of tourists to visit the area. Positive reports such as good shopping opportunities can encourage tourists to visit while negative reports such as incidents of violence can deter visitors.

Hence, the types of information provided by the media can influence the tourists’ decision to visit a destination. 

INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATION 

 International Organization comprises a group of countries which work together for a common purpose. Reports produced by the international organization can encourage or discourage tourists in visiting a place. When the leading authority for health within the United Nations system, the World Health Organization (WHO) provided situation updates and health advisories on avian influenza (H5N1) from 2003 to 2013. Such information discourages tourists from visiting at risk countries. Thus, this shows that international organization is capable of influencing global tourist’s behaviour in the planning of their trips. 

I disagree that the planning authorities has the most influence in ensuring sustainable tourism in the country as there are also Media and International Organisation that also affect the sustainability of tourism. 

The government play a crucial role in promoting tourism as they are directly involved in planning, funding and building infrastructure that are connected to tourism. Government also ensures the safety and security of sites that tourist often visit. They set up agencies that plan strategies to help promote tourism in their country, strategies such as marketing campaigns and promotional events. Example of what Singapore government has done are that the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) help to encourage Singapore as a tourism destination, they also develop tourism as an industry, facilitating tourism related businesses to invest in Singapore. STB encourage the development of new attraction like the river safari and Integrated resorts. By doing these, tourism in Singapore will be largely promoted as tourist will come to Singapore and going back with good memories made in Singapore this will make tourist want to come back to Singapore 

Media is also another group that ensures sustainable tourism. This is because media communicates with the public by social media like television and newspaper, by spreading good news and attractions made in a country, people from other country will know about it and soon travel to Singapore, People who travelled and wants to talk about their experience can post their positive personal experience on the internet. 

Finally the International Organisation also ensures sustainable tourism. They are people from different countries that work together for a common purpose. The committee meet up to actively promote tourism and they address economy , employment issues. The group promotes tourism as a way of spurring economic growth and environmental sustainability.

The state tourism agency, tourist board or government department will have an important role to play in advising on the strategy, offering opportunities to consult and cooperate with a dispersed private sector, and preparing a destination marketing strategy based on an identification of the appropriate markets and their needs and wishes. This leads to a product market fit indicating products and services required to attract the preferred visitor traffic. This is a vital role. The market will determine the outcome and the marketers have the essential responsibility to ensure product development to suit the required visitor movement. For example the Singapore tourism board is a government agency that promotes Singapore as a tourist destination.

The STB also to develop tourism as an industry, facilitating tourism related businesses to invest in Singapore. Example of tourism related businesses are those involved in hotels, resorts, cruises and airlines. This are the ways government a helping to promote tourism in Singapore and in various country.

 

Media also plays an important roles in tourism. Media reports about a country or an area could influence the decision of tourist to visit them. The term media refers to the channel through which news and information are communicated to the public. It includes television, radio, newspaper and the internet. The role that the media is playing in the various aspects of life is becoming increasingly greater each day, especially in spheres like social interaction, and cultural and educational aspects of our life. As archaeological monuments can articulate the traditions, customs and heritage of the past, the media can in its turn clarify today's values and civilizations of the different countries and hence attempt to correct any widespread erroneous information. Both the media and archaeological monuments have messages and missions with various dimensions. The media contributes greatly in activating tourist attractions. Before discussing the role of the media as an instrument in tourism policy, it should be noted that, broadly speaking, the relationship between tourism and the media is one of inclusion. When speaking of tourism policy that focuses on specific areas of tourism, the media become a mediator between tourism and society, meaning that they mediate in a process of conveying tourism products from the producers to the consumers.

Media communications technologies are imperative for frontline investments for sustainable globalized tourism development indicators. The powerful effects of media communications can bring sweeping changes of attitudes and behavior among the key actors in local, national and global tourism for peace, security and sustainable development. The social, cultural, economic, political and environmental benefits of tourism would usher in monumental and historic changes in the country. As the verdict goes, the media has a social responsibility to enhance the blending of local, national and international cultural values for enriched politics, society and economy. Public communications strategy based on access to quality information and knowledge will drive the new global tourism through partnership initiatives such as: peace and security, conflict resolutions for eco-tourism, quality tourism, Joint ventures, technology transfer, etc.

 Development in communication is one of the best ways to go in developing eco-tourism. This strategy involves the planned communication component of programmers designed to change the attitudes and behavior of specific groups of people in specific ways through person to person communication, mass media, traditional media or community communication. Positive reports such as the friendliness of the local population, an interesting culture, good shopping opportunities and attractive scenery, can encourage tourist to visit. On the other hand, negative reports, such as those of incidents of violence, disease outbreaks and natural disasters, can deter visitors both immediately and for many years to come.

Finally international organization also promotes tourism. An international organization is group of different countries that work together for a common purpose. Reports produced by international organizations can encourage or discourage tourists in visiting a place. Examples of such organization include the organization for economic co-operation and development tourism committee, the UNWTO and the world health organisation.

The oecd tourism committee meets regularly to actively promote the sustainable growth of tourism, iced member countries come together to address economic, sustainability and employment issue in tourism. The committee also produces guidelines on measuring the social and economic impact of tourism . It also produces analyses of key challenges that affect tourism, such as those that involves employment and local development.
