Foreign tourism businesses, particularly hotels and lodges, are reducing equity in "their" hotels, or even holding none at all, while maintaining a managerial or supervisory role through a management or franchising contract (which allows them to still maintain control over the company). Furthermore, since the impact of local tourism enterprises depends on a whole package provided by foreign enterprises, of elements including technology, management techniques and access to world markets, in addition to equity capital, non-equity modes of presence are considered important in many circumstances. The researcher disagrees with the authors because local businesses can also have the opportunity to develop their own packages instead of depending on foreign tourism businesses. When local businesses depend on foreign tourism businesses, the revenue still goes out of the country, which does not contribute to the development of the country
