Using the stakeholder based theory and resource based theory (RBT) the study addresses how sustainable competitive advantage can be developed.,Results shows how stakeholders involved such employees, government, community/society, private sector and individual shop owners perceive factors that enhance or limit progress in tourism. Some challenges they encounter include high level of illiteracy, lack of education for upcoming youth, low funding and publicity, lack of the enforcement of laws in the sector. The findings also indicated that to ensure sustainability in the industry the products should be unique, valuable, rare, non-substitutable and non-imitable and has to be advertised.,Researchers encountered difficulties in eliciting answers from stakeholders who are experts and managers in the industry because of their busy schedules.

The sample size could be improved and the study could be conducted in other African countries for the purposes of comparison.,This study reveals how stakeholders view developments in the tourism sector and this can be used as a guide in developing policies and marketing strategies in the tourism industry.
