The analysis of territorial capacities goes through the local. They achieve an optimal adaptation of local development programs and policies to tourist opportunities. Roads, water supply, electricity, and human resources are considered in this analysis to justify setting up tourist activities. Towards the end, the presence of these indicators on the province territory encourages tourist activities.
