season period of February-March 2012 involving 50 Japanese tourists as
respondents. Low season refers to the times when the number of tourist visit drops
to the low levels, causing the diminution revenue to local businesses. Respondents

opinions regarding the DIY tourism.

be selective and chose the ones they are familiar with rather than trying something

visiting DIY expect to be able to enjoy spa and relaxation. |
