PART A: INTRODUCTION

1 Rationale

According to the United Nations World Tourism Organisation,tourism entails the movement of people to countries or places outsidetheir usual environment The purpose of their trip can be for business,leisure or personal reasons, other than to be employed by a residententity in the country or place visited

There are three basic forms of tourism: domestic tourism, inboundtourism, and outbound tourism:

- Domestic tourism refers to activities of a visitor within theircountry of residence and outside of their home

- Inbound tourism refers to the activities of a visitor from outside

of country of residence

- Outbound tourism refers to the activities of a resident visitoroutside of their country of residence

Tourism is vital for many countries, due to the income generated

by the consumption of goods and services by tourists, the taxes levied

on businesses in the tourism industry, and the opportunity foremployment and economic advancement by working in the industry Forthese reasons NGOs and government agencies may sometimes promote

a specific region as a tourist destination, and support the development of

a tourism industry in that area

In this assignment, I am going to carry out the topic of

“Tourism”.
