The Tourism Network framework proposed by Hawkins and colleagues consists of two main components: the direct and indirect components.
Direct Components: Attractions: These are the primary motivators for tourists. Attractions could include natural wonders, cultural sites, events, and other points of interest.
Facilities: This includes the infrastructure that supports tourism, such as hotels, restaurants, transportation systems, and other amenities that cater to the needs of tourists.
Indirect Components: Government: Government policies and regulations can significantly impact the tourism industry. This includes visa requirements, safety regulations, and tourism promotion efforts.
Public Services: Services provided by public entities, such as healthcare, police, and emergency services, contribute to the overall tourism experience and safety.
