Scope of Tourism Activities

Tourism encompasses a very wide range of activities. It can include travel and visits for business, professional and domestic purposes as well as for holidays and recreation. Often, more than one purpose may be involved. The duration of tourist trips is also highly variable as it can include the annual family holiday as well as a wide range of shorter visits, weekend breaks and day trips. Tourism is therefore an extremely diverse form of activity which is subject to changing trends in the types, distribution and duration of tourist activity.
