Tourism

Tourism is travel for recreational, leisure or business purposes. The World Tourism Organization defines tourists as people who "travel to and stay in places outside their usual environment for more than twenty-four (24) hours and not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and other purposes not related to the exercise of an activity remunerated from within the place visited." (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Can you imagine what life is without travelling? Is it possible? Whatever your reason is, travelling is a part of people’s life. We all travel. Travelling is not only for rich people. Whether you are poor or in the middle class, you can travel as long as fits your budget.
