In general tourism is concerned with pleasure travel, holidays and going somewhere. These are the motivations by which a person or people are leaving their normal place of work and residence for short period of time temporarily to other place or a temporary break with a normal routine to engage in a new experience. Tourism is a temporary and short-term movement of people which is outside the place where the so called tourists live, work and stay. Tourists are voluntary temporary travelers, traveling in the expectations of pleasure. Person traveling to convention or business purposes are also the tourists. Tourism relates the temporary, short-term movement of people to destination outside the place where they normally live and work and their activities during their stay at these destinations. It is a pleasure activity in which money earned in one’s normal domicile is spent in the places visited.
In other words tourism is the totality of the relationship and phenomenon arising from the travel and stay of strangers, provided the stay does not imply the establishment of a permanent residence and is not connected with the remunerated activities. Tourism is an activity involving a complex mixture of material and psychological elements. The material ones are accommodation, transportation, the attractions and entertainment available. Tourism is a composite industry. It consists of various segments which can produce a wide range of products and services. It is the sum total of operations mainly of economic nature, which directly relate to the entry, stay and movement of foreigners, inside and outside a certain country, city or region. It is a stay of one or more nights away from home for holidays, visits to friends or relatives, business conferences or any other purpose, except such as things as boarding, education or semi-permanent employment. If leisure is a measure of time and recreation embraces the activities undertaken during that time, then tourism is simply one of those activities.
