Hypothesized model was supported the results of the study in that promotion strategies (Traditional media, Digital media and restoration of country’s airline) have influence on tourism performance. The results indicated that traditional media, digital media and restoration of country’s airline enhance tourism performance in the national parks. This implies that, the tourism industry performance is enhanced by the promotion of their products through traditional media, digital media and restoration of country’s airline. Managers should understand that for the tourism industry to perform it needs to be promotion by the tools such as traditional media, digital media and country’s airline restoration.
