Overview
Tourism is a multifaceted industry that encompasses travel for pleasure, business, and other purposes, with the United Nations World Tourism Organization defining it as people 'travelling to and 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'. The industry has faced numerous challenges, including the Great Recession and the 2009 H1N1 influenza virus. As the industry continues to evolve, it is essential to understand the complexities of tourism, including its economic, social, and environmental implications.
