Tourism is traveling for predominantly frivolous or relaxation purposes or the provision of services to support this holiday travel. The World Tourism Organization defines tourists as people who "travel to and stay in places outside their usual situation for not more than one successive year for leisure, business and other purposes not related to the implement of an activity compensated from within the place visited". Tourism has become a popular global leisure activity. In 2006, there were over 846 million international tourist arrivals.[1]

Tourism is fundamental for many countries such as Egypt, Thailand and many island nations such as Fiji, due to the large intake of money for businesses with their goods and services and the chance for employment in the service industries connected with tourism. These service industries include shipping services such as cruise ships and taxis, lodging such as hotels and entertainment venues, and other generosity industry services such as resorts. Tourists are usually people, unless animals are travelling too.
