The reason why this form of tourist attraction thrives because tourists constantly wants to ride elephants, watch them perfect tricks and are willing to pay good money for this pleasure.

This topic of elephantourism has been controversial as it has the possibility of being a good experience for the visitors, provide money flow for the people in the lower socioeconomic status group.
