Tourism is the temporary short-term movement of people to destinations outside the places where they normally live and work, and their activities during the stay at these destinations. What is tourism industry? 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. Essentially, it refers to all activity related to the short-term movement of people to locations away from where they usually reside. It is closely connected to the hotel industry, the hospitality industry and the transport industry, and much of it is based around keeping tourists happy, occupied and equipped with the things they need during their time away from home. The tourism industry is one of the world’s largest industries and the economies of many nations are driven, to a large extent, by their tourist trade.
