M.A. / Tourists, when visiting their destinations are often attracted among others by the nature of the physical environment. This includes the geomorphological and climatological features as well as fauna and flora. The physical environment, which is a valuable resource to both the local communities and tourist, needs to be looked after properly. Even though the infrastructure is poor in most instances, the number of tourists visiting the region remains relatively high. It is remarkable that the tourism industry is one of the key economic sectors in this region. It generates employment to communities and therefore stimulates social change. Land owners, banks and government benefit from this industry. That is why the government is contributing so much in the development and maintenance of this resource which is related to tourism. This study has proved that a high percentage of commercial accommodation centers promote their business emphasising the beauty of the local physical environment
