Abstract

In spite of the various economic problems facing the country that led to unemployment and low income, on the other hand, in the context of the concept of a resilient economy, one has to overcome economic problems. Resistent economic policies require alternatives to oil. In this regard, one of the sectors that is capable of replacing oil revenue is tourism. Regarding the current status of tourism in the country, it can be stated that tourism in the country due to high capacity has not been developed to the appropriate development. The small contribution of tourism to gross domestic product, low foreign exchange rates in the foreign tourism sector, and low employment rates in the tourism sector are evidenced by this claim. The realization of a resistance economy in the tourism sector requires the development of coherent and consistent policies in line with resistance policies. The purpose of this research is to study the policies of the resistance economy as well as the macro policies of the tourism sector. By studying the macro policies of the tourism sector, weaknesses identified for the realization of the resistance economy were identified and a model for tourism policy was presented. Given the pattern, the government needs to adopt geographic, entrepreneurial and job creation policies, investment and marketing for tourism development, so that the tourism sector can move in the direction of development.
