The number of tourists increased but not with the revenues of the merchant because the tourists who visited minimal in doing the sale-buy transactions with the merchants. Nowadays the entrepreneur is eager to promote his trade to attract the interest of the buyer. This provides a benefit to the Ke'te Kesu Foundation to increase the number of visitors because every buyer who will make a sale-buy transaction within the tourist attraction complex must pay for a ticket to enter]]>
