INTRODUCTION 
Tourism is one of the world’s major economic success stories, like time, that has no beginning or 
end. It is a phenomenon that has been created and is difficult to define because of its complexity. 
When time began so did tourism. 
Tourism is travel for pleasure or business; also the theory and practice of touring, the business of 
attracting,  accommodating,  and  entertaining  tourists,  and  the  business  of  operating tours.

The World Tourism Organization defines tourism more generally, in terms which go "beyond the 
common perception of tourism as being limited to holiday activity only", as people "traveling to 
and  staying  in  places  outside  their  usual  environment  for  not  more  than  one  consecutive  year 
for leisure and not less than 24 hours, business and other purposes".

Tourism  can  be domestic (within  the  traveler’s  own  country)  or international,  and  international 
tourism has both incoming and outgoing implications on a country's balance of payments. 
The tourism industry, also known as the travel industry, is linked to the idea of people travelling 
to other locations, either domestically or internationally, for leisure, social or business purposes. 
It is closely connected to the hotel industry, the hospitality industry and the transport industry,
