Nevertheless, this study with the use of qualitative data collection and analysis techniques, has carefully noticed that the SMEs in tourism sector especially those at the grassroots’ level have been sadly lagged behind partly due to less support or totally unsupported by competent tourism stakeholders leading to ultimate failure in their ventures.
