Tourism is commonly known as "the activity of visiting
places for pleasure". The basic concept of tourism is based on the
movement of people outside their own place of residence i.e. home
area. Therefore, tourism can be considered as the movement of people within a city, state, country or across international boundary.
All of us at one point of time or other have taken part in some
tourism activity; whether it is a visit to our grandparents staying
at a nearby city or a day trip to visit the monuments in our own
city or maybe a trip to a foreign country for a holiday and so on.
During any of these tourism activities you must have noticed that
many people are involved in providing the services such as the
travel agent, guide, transporter, ushers, souvenir sellers and shows all the sectors that are associated with
the tourism industry, and how all of them come together to form
the largest employers in the world i.e. the Tourism Industry.
In modern world, tourism industry is constantly changing and evolving; primarily because of its linkage with more than seven other industries such as - aviation, accommodation, surface transportation, water transportation, telecommunication, attraction management, travel facilitators, manufacturers of handicraft and souvenirs designed for visitors and related outlets and so on. The inter linkage of so many industries has indeed made the study and understanding of Tourism very interesting.
