- Visas: governments can make travelling harder/easier depending on the visa laws. They can either attract more tourists or make it harder for them to enter the country.

- Political decisions: construction of airports, investment in infrastructure, promotion of their country, protection of heritage sites or investment in festivals and events.

- Safety: Governments have control of the police force, which means that they can make tourists feel safe when they are in their country

- Policies: Governments are in charge of policies that can influence tourists such as taxation, border policies, short-term rentals, health and safety policies etc.
