Planning becomes ‘an ordered sequence of operations, designed to lead to the achievement of either a single goal or to a balance between several goals’

THOMAS(2000)
A process where a society moves from one condition to another, and to the goal of that process; where the society may achieve condition or state of development.
Development is closely related virtually with progress, implying positive transformation or ‘good change’.
To relate definition of development with tourism is more on the aspect of the goal of or justification for developing tourism.
