The document outlines the typical 7 stages of the geographic cycle of tourism development: exploration, involvement, development, consolidation, stagnation, rejuvenation, and decline. It begins with a few adventurous tourists discovering an untouched place with no tourist services. Local people then start businesses like accommodations and transportation as tourism grows.
