TOURIST

Tourists are people who travel for pleasure. The tourist industry looks after the needs of tourist and provides the things that help them get to places to relax and enjoy themselves. The industry employs a large number of people. Travel agents, hotel waiters, tour guides and other such people rely on tourism for their live hood.

Tourism is a big business. It is one of the world's fastest growing industries and by the year 2008 there were 922 million tourists traveling to foreign countries where they spent 749.438 billion EUR, approximately a 9% of the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) in the world, and representing 8% of global employment.

Tourist definition It is evident that the definition of a tourist is unclear. This makes comparability and accurate measurement of the scale of the tourism industry difficult. Whilst there is an urgent call for a universal definition to be developed and utilised, I doubt this will happen any time soon, at least not on a global scale. Until there is a universally accepted definition of a tourist, I will propose my own tourist definition as follows: ‘A tourist is a person who travels away from where they live to partake in leisure or business [tourism] activities for a specified period of time. Types of tourists vary and tourists can sit anywhere along the spectrum between allocentric explorers and mass organised holidaymakers.
