The article starts with the usual style introduction and rationale for the study. consequently the literature review begin with the theory of Doxey (1976) who introduce the Irridex model which give nonice that the residents attitudes towards the tourism development will pass through the different stages including euphoria, Apathy, Irritation and Antagonism(Wang, 2006 p 412).

If local needs are need to be met, sustainable tourism requires the participation of local communities. Conversely, residents that are poorly informed, marginalised or alienated from decisions making are likely to respond within hospitable attitudes toward current and future tourism developments (Butcher, 1997). Visitors need to feel welcomed at a destination. Destinations that fail to provide this genuine hospitality are at a disadvantage to those that do. Hospitality represents the social capital associated with a destination, and while it is relatively intangible it plays a significant role in the sustainability of tourism initiatives.
