My specialty – Tourism
Tourism is one of the biggest businesses in the world. There are nearly 800 million international tourist arrivals every year.
Tourism can be defined as the act of travel for the purpose of recreation, and the provision of services for this act. A tourist is someone who travels at least 80 km (fifty miles) from home for the purpose of recreation, as defined by the World Tourism Organization.
A more comprehensive definition would be that tourism is a service industry, comprising a number of tangible components. The tangible elements include transport systems – air, rail, road, water and 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 income for the enterprises that sell (export) services to these travellers. Consequently the development of tourism is often a strategy to promote a particular region for the purpose of increasing commerce through exporting goods and services to non-locals.
Sometimes ‘tourism’ and ‘travel’ are used interchangeably. In this context ‘travel’ has a similar definition to ‘tourism’, but implies a more purposeful journey.
The terms ‘tourist’ and ‘tourism’ were first used as official terms in 1937 by the League of Nations. Tourism was defined as people travelling abroad for periods of over 24 hours.
The word ‘tour’ gained acceptance in the 18th century, when the Grand Tour of Europe became part of the upbringing of the educated and wealthy British nobleman or cultured gentleman. Grand tours were taken in particular by young people to ‘complete’ their education. They travelled over Europe, but mainly to places of cultural and aesthetic interest, such as Rome, Tuscany and the Alps.
Today tourism is a fast-growing industry, affected by many different things: international events, economic change, changes in fashion. New concerns and worries appear every day, for example as people become more and more worried about security and international terrorism, or as the value of their currency changes. But new destinations and new sources of tourists also seem to emerge every year.
Tourism survives. It is a powerful and sometimes dangerous force in the modern world. Tourism creates many good jobs and careers, but also produces many poor and badly paid jobs. Tourism can help to protect environments and animal life, but it can also damage them. Tourism can save cultures and the local way of life, but it can also destroy them. Tourism can change countries – and people – for the better, but it can also change them for the worse.
For the past few decades many forms of tourism have been becoming more popular, particularly:
• adventure tourism
• agritourism
• armchair tourism or virtual tourism
• bookstore tourism
• cultural tourism
• disaster tourism
• ecotourism
• educational tourism
• gambling tourism, etc.
