They prefer to go honeymoon in these places but there is a climatic disaster that impact the tourism business. The Tsunami is the best example that impact badly on the economy and it also impact on the tourism sector (Hao, Lin and Shanting,2011).

Therefore, the cost of tourist is entirely depends upon the changes in the fluctuation of currency. Most of the tourist would to prefer to go to the UK when there is a weak in the pound currency against the another countries. Thus, that resultant into visitors have to pay less money and the pound is stronger  there is reduction in the visitors inflow in the UK country.

The infrastructure of any tourist destination will be stronger that shows the economy in better condition (Jacobsen and Munar,2012). The United Kingdom is considerd as the best economy that increase a flow of tourist to the tourist destination. In the developed countries there is huge investment in the tourism sector and have a strong economy as well as tourist cab spend amount on promotional campaigns. Thus, it will attract a large number visitor in the country.
• Fear of Terrorism- Terrorism is also an another factor that impact on the tourism business, The increase in the number of attack of terrorist decrease the number of visitors in the tourism sector. Thus, the people start thinking that they are unsafe to visit those places where there is an increase in the number of terrorist attacks. The United Kingdom  also influence by the terrorist attacks as they try to hijack the aeroplanes and it creates fear in the minds of the tourist.
• Government laws and regulations- The changes in rules and regulation of any country is also impact on the tourism sector there are some act to be consider as follows-
• Tourism act 1969 - In these act there is a laws through which all the tourism business come together that help them to resolve problems in the tourism sector. It also help in promoting the tourism business.
