As a matter of fact, it is worthdistinguishing a tourism from a travel.Becausetourists and travelers spenddifferent amounts of time on their trips.Wecansay that a touristtravels light.Tourists have limited time, theycompletely allocate it todiscover newplaces,to experience different cultures.Incontrasta tourist, a traveler decideseverything on the spot, he does not thinkthrough his route. We can say that he isgoing for experience.For example, atraveler cango on a tripto earn moneyorto learn new languages.
