Following World War II, the sector of tourism has witnessed dramatic growth with worldwide significance. Large-scale and rapid technological transformation and communication have facilitated mass mobility and long haul travel, with affordable options and opportunities for people from all corners of the world to get to know each other (Mulugeta, 2010). In 1950, total worldwide international tourist arrivals amounted to be just over 25 million, by the start of the new millennium, that figure had risen to more than 687 million and since then international tourism has continued its inexorable growth (Sharply, 2009). In 2009, over 880 million international arrivals were recorded United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO, 2010). International tourist arrivals hit a record 1,133 million worldwide in 2014, up from 1,087 million in 2013 (UNWTO, 2015).
