A minha sugestao:
The tourism industry is ripe for further development.

(ripe = pronto, ou seja, estar na hora ideal)

Realmente precisamos de ver a frase completa, Daniela, porque tem varias formas de interpretar o segmento da frase que voce nos deu. Fica dificil saber o sentido exato com somente uma parte de frase ou do paragrafo.

"NEW RHINO SANCTUARY WILL DEVELOP UGANDA’S TOURISM INDUSTRY."

"The results showed that cultural tourism in Pelotas, while it exists, holds potential for further development, dependent upon the willingness of the local authorities and local residents to invest in the town to stimulate its economy and allow Pelotas to shine once again within the State of Rio Grande do Sul and to produce for its people, and the region as a whole, a better, more dignified, quality of life."

there's more to discover

Explanation:
Another option would be to say "there's more to discover about the tourism industry". I have seen this used quite a lot in tourist-related texts.

A few examples:

exploited

Explanation:
Acredito que se está falando disso: exploit, no sentido de "to make use of; turn to account; utilize productively", e também "advertising to stir up interest in; promote [to exploit a product]", como definido pelo Webster's, e não de "explore" que é "to travel in (a region previously unknown or little known) in order to learn about its natural features, inhabitants, etc.".

disagree

jack_speak: Ralph, "exploit" usually means to hurt someone for illicit gain./ I don't care what the dictionaries say- I care what the word means in accepted usage. "explorar" is one of the hardest words in Portuguese to translate. "Develop" is usually the intent.

-> No, Jack, you should get rid of ideological prejudices. Read the dictionaries and add value to your vocabulary. Check my examples! The language is larger than your limitatinos. Visit http//dictionary.reference.com/browse/exploitation, first meaning.

disagree

Marlene Curtis: Not in this context./Sorry to disappoint you but the word "Exploit" carries a very negative connotation meaning to "explore with an intent to take advantage"./http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/exploit[2]

10 hrs

-> Tsk, tsk, tsk....// But isn't this the exact meaning intended here? People want to take advatage from tourism, don't they?

agree

airmailrpl: I agree with you totally..some people need to better "exploit" their dictionaries
