What is tourism

Tourism refers to the activity of individuals traveling to and visiting places outside their usual environment, either for leisure or business purposes. This includes visiting tourist attractions, experiencing local culture and heritage, taking part in recreational activities, and interacting with the local community. Tourism plays a significant role in the economy of many countries, creating jobs and generating income through the provision of accommodation, transport, food, and other services to visitors. It also contributes to cultural exchange and understanding between different countries and communities.
