Tourism

1) Tourism has been one of the fastest growing industries in recent years. The growth rate of tourism has generally exceeded the growth rate for the worldwide economy. Tourism is travel away from a person's usual place of-residence for a period longer than twenty-four hours, primarily for pleasure or recreation, and frequently to multiple destinations.

2) International tourism means tourist travel between two or more countries. Internal tourism is tourist travel within the same country of which the tourist is a resident. This is also called domestic tourism.

3) Excursion is a trip away from a person's usual place of residence for less than 24 hours, although weekend trips are often classified as excursions. Tourist destination is a place or area to which tourists travel. It may be a resort, but it may also be a large city. Accommodations are places at which travelers can obtain a bed and food while on a trip, in other words, hotels, motels, inns, camping grounds, hostels, and so forth.

4) Different people have different purposes of travel. Many people travel for the purpose of recreation or pleasure. Other people travel for reasons of health. Other people travel to visit friends or relatives, a reason that has become more important because of increased mobility throughout the world. Some people travel in order to educate themselves. Most tourist statistics also include people who are traveling on business. They often combine pleasure with their wok. So motives to travel include pleasure, relaxation, discovery and exploration, getting to know other cultures.

5) There are many different kinds of tourism today. One of them is ecotourism. It is travel to natural area. Generally, ecotourism focuses on volunteering, or "voluntourism", personal growth and environmental sustainability. Ecotourism typically involves travel to destinations where flora, fauna, and cultural heritage are the primary attractions. One of the goals of ecotourism is to offer tourists insight into the impact of human beings on the environment, and to foster a greater appreciation of our natural habitats. Ecotourism has its principles: people should behave themselves in a low-impact way, they should respect and celebrate local cultures and customs. People can also participate in educational activities that involve the local community and tourists. There is a myth that taking ecotourism vacations cost often not the case. Destinations in lesser-developed areas tend to use fewer resources as a result of local conditions. The cost to stay in these areas is usually on part with other hotels, but the environmental impact is positive and contrary to what you might think, you don’t have to give up comfort to stay there.

Nowadays ecotourism is becoming one the fastest-growing segments of the travel and tourism industry worldwide as travelers become more conscious of the impact their leisure time has on the environment.
