All the constraints witnessed significant associations (p < .05) with tourism development except Attitude of the local residents towards tourists. Gastronomic differences had the highest significant relationship with towards the development of tourism (r = .768; p = .000 < 0.01), followed by Varied lifestyle (r = .742; p = 000 < 0.01) and Cultural contrast (r = .667; p = .0005 < 0.01).
