Tourism is a social, cultural and economic phenomenon which entails the movement of people to countries or places outside their usual environment for personal or business or professional purposes. It is simply the activity or practice of touring, especially for pleasure. The business or industry of providing information, accommodations, transportation and other services to tourists. The promotion of tourist travel, especially for commercial purposes. Tourism boosts the revenue of the economy, creates thousands of jobs, develops the infrastructures of a country, and plants a sense of cultural exchange between foreigners and citizens. The number of jobs created by tourism in many different areas is significant. Definitions are difficult because they need to encompass the many different types of tourists and those that use tourist facilities but are not tourists (e.g. academics visiting a historic attraction for research purposes).
