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 terms tourism and tourist are sometimes used pejoratively, implying a shallow interest in the societies and places that the tourist visits.

Answer 4

To broaden ones horizons. To help understand other people, other cultures, other needs and norms. To have fun, to ride on the top of a bus, and perhaps to help realise how lucky you are, that you can travel, and can survive without working for 2 weks or 2 months. It helped me realise how lucky i was, when i left a restaurant with half a bottle of 7 up and a half dressed kid of about 5 ran upto me (in india) with beaming eyes and a big smile looking at the bottle. I gave him the bottle he quickly drank some and then gave it to his friend who finished it off.
Travelling certainly mad me realise how my lows and misfortunes were incomparable to the issues facing some

Answer 8

Because they want to see something different to what's at home?!

I've been to some very far-flung places and paid through the nose for the priviledge, only to sit in a resort and wonder why I bothered taking two flights (one normally over 11 hours) just to go somewhere warmer. I don't even really like sunbathing.

I do it to please my wife I suppose.
