tourism
Tourism is travel for recreational, leisure, or business purposes. The World Tourism Organization defines tourists as people "traveling to and staying in places outside their usual environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and other purposes".[1]
Tourism has become a popular global leisure activity. After slowly recovering from the contraction resulting from the late-2000s recession, where tourism suffered a strong slowdown from the second half of 2008 through the end of 2009, and the outbreak of the H1N1 influenza virus,[2][3] international tourist arrivals surpassed the milestone 1 billion tourists globally for first time in history in 2012
Tourism is important, and in some cases, vital for many countries. It was recognized in the Manila Declaration on World Tourism of 1980[7] as "an activity essential to the life of nations because of its direct effects on the social, cultural, educational, and economic sectors of national societies and on their international relations."[1][8] Tourism brings in large amounts of income in payment for goods and services available, accounting for 30% of the world 's exports of services, and 6% of overall exports of goods and services.[5] It also creates opportunities for employment in the service sector of the economy, associated with tourism.
