The private sector organisations are in business to maximise income and to make a profit. They are relaint on sales of their product and services,
so they must ensure that the customers perception is wholly postive. Without income and profit, the private sector organisations cannot survive and sometimes smaller organisations go out of business or are bught out by larger companies.
The private sector organisations can receive funding from several sources which include:
- Savings (e.g. a small business may make use of its owner's personal savings)
- Loans (e.g. from banks and building societies)
- Government grants (the government grants (the government may lend or even give money if it thinks the venture can contribute to the econmic well-being of an area)

What are Public Sector organisations and how are they funded?

-UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization)
Why does the public sector get involved in tourism development?
For any region, basic infrastructure, services and facilities are necessary to meet the needs of the host population and those of the vistors. Planning regulations are necessary to look after the public's interest both now and in the future, but an important objective of national and local government is also to increase earnings from tourist receipts. To achieve these objectives, policies are formulated to guide the management and development of tourism. Governments are influenced by market reports on changing attitudes, outlooks and political changes.
Reasons for the public sectors involvement in tourism development are as follows:
- To improve the balance of payments in a country, region or locality.
- To aid regional or local economy.
- To help diversify the economy.
- To increase income in a country, region or locality.
- To generate new employment opportunities.
- To promote an area as being a politically acceptable place to visit.
- To promote tourism development.
