Tourists are
people who are "travelling to and staying in places outside
their usual environment for not more than one consecutive year
for leisure, business and other purposes not related to the exercise
of an activity remunerated from within the place visited"
(official UNWTO definition). The distance between these two places
is of no significance.
A more comprehensive definition would be that tourism is a
service industry, comprising a number of tangible and intangible
components. The tangible elements include transport systems
- air, rail, road, water and now, space; hospitality services
- accommodation, foods and beverages, tours, souvenirs; and
related services such as banking, insurance and safety and security.
The intangible elements include: rest and relaxation, culture,
escape, adventure, new and different experiences.
Many countries depend heavily upon travel expenditures by foreigners
as a source of taxation and as a source of income for the enterprises
that sell (export) services to these travellers. Consequently
the development of tourism is often a strategy employed either
by a Non-governmental organization (NGO) or a governmental agency
to promote a particular region for the purpose of increasing
commerce through exporting goods and services to non-locals.
