General overview
More often than not when one thinks about a tourist area, blue waters, white sandy beaches and surf boards are things that come to mind. But, tourism is more than a picturesque horizon of sun, sand and sea housing the shadows of those enjoying themselves. It is an activity that involves people “traveling to and staying in places outside their usual environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and other purposes” according to the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO). It is clear from the definition that tourism is more than merely having fun at the beach. People travel for different reasons. Some travel to see different things and places. Others travel to generate business opportunities and to expand business income.
