Tourism is the act of traveling to and staying in places outside one’s usual environment for leisure, business, or other purposes, typically for a short duration. It involves activities like sightseeing, exploring cultures, attending events, or simply relaxing.
Key aspects of tourism include:
Leisure tourism: Vacations, holidays, adventure travel.
Business tourism: Conferences, meetings, work-related travel.
Cultural tourism: Visiting historical sites, experiencing local traditions or cuisine.
Eco-tourism: Traveling to natural areas with a focus on conservation and sustainability.
Tourism is a major global industry that supports local economies, but it can also impact the environment and local cultures if not managed responsibly.
