From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia · Read full article · Text CC BY-SA 4.0

Tourism is travel for pleasure, and the commercial activity of providing and supporting such travel. UN Tourism defines tourism more generally as people "staying in places outside their usual environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure and not less than 24 hours, business and other purposes". Tourism can be domestic or international. Global tourism has both incoming and outgoing implications on a country's balance of payments.
