Tourism is travel for predominantly recreational or leisure purposes or the provision of services to support this leisure travel. The World Tourism Organization defines tourists as people who "travel to and stay 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".

Majority of the people who go to a different country go there for sight-seeing and tours. Their relationship is basically they are dependent on each other to survive. Tourism generally promotes a country/places hotspots, culture, must-sees attraction for people to WANT to travel to it. Tourism can also branch out in medicine(Bangkok) and job opportunities(Canada).

You could say that travel is the process or getting someplace, and tourism is stopping to smell the roses along the way.
