Answer 2

Tourism is the act of travel for the purpose of recreation and business, and the provision of services for this act. Tourists are people who are "travelling to and staying in places outside their usual environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and other purposes not related to the exercise of an activity remunerated from within the place visited" (official UNWTO definition). The distance between these two places is of no significance.

A more comprehensive definition would be that tourism is a service industry, comprising a number of tangible and intangible components. The tangible elements include transport systems — air, rail, road, water and now, space; hospitality services — accommodation, foods and beverages, tours, souvenirs; and related services such as banking, insurance and safety and security. The intangible elements include: rest and relaxation, culture, escape, adventure, new and different experiences.

Many countries depend heavily upon travel expenditures by foreigners as a source of taxation and as a source of income for the enterprises that sell (export) services to these travellers. Consequently the development of tourism is often a strategy employed either by a Non-governmental organization (NGO) or a governmental agency to promote a particular region for the purpose of increasing commerce through exporting goods and services to non-locals.

Sometimes Tourism and Travel are used interchangeably. In this context travel has a similar definition to tourism, but implies a more purposeful journey.

The term tourism is sometimes used pejoratively, implying a shallow interest in the societies and places that the tourist visits.

Not sure where you are located, but here are a few basics. Tourism is one of the fastest growing industries anywhere. The industry itself caters to tourists, so it includes hotel, motel and Bed and Breakfast operators, restaurants, cafes and other eateries that cater to tourists or are located in areas of interest to tourists, local features, such as museums, playhouses, theatres, science exhibits, special events which can be either cultural events or sporting events, and a whole host of others. Many of these run year round, of course, but others are open just in the tourist season June, July, August and September, and as such are very popular with university students who find them a good source of summer jobs.
There are tourism offices in every city, in every country. To find yours, call your local Chamber of Commerce, and ask for an address and phone number for the tourist office nearest to you, then visit them in person. They'll be happy to answer your questions and they'll provide you with pamphlets, booklets and brochures that you will find interesting and educational.
Hope this helps...

Tourism is the service provided to tourists. Sometimes the whole scene of making resorts, then advertising and luring people to fall for it and then providing transportation, accomodation, relaxation, fixation, constipation and then dropping off to an unknown station comes under tourism :)
