During this span of time suppliers must be well aware of the facts like price, quality of services and lastly estimating the uniqueness and innovation of the product which is offered to various tourist (Goodall and Ashworth, 2013). Marketing intermediates play the role of middlemen between suppliers and the tourist who are considered as a customer. Various tourism agents provide necessary information to tourist about the ongoing activities, space and activities which is offered by suppliers to attract tourist at a particular destination (Zaei, and Zaei, 2013). The information is usually provided to them in a package which will be necessary for fulfilling the experience which the tourist is looking. Both the two sectors that are public and private will play a key role in upgradation of tourism in a particular area (Mowforth and Munt, 2015).

In other words, infrastructure can be defined as a way of public safety, services related to transportation, financial, medical and other services which is involved in a given population and demand of tourist (Han and Hyun, 2015). Tourism infrastructure can be special importance for long term growth of tourism (Lawrence, Munasinghe, and McNeely, 2014).
