I thought that I give a post about south Asian tourism information but I think my blog is new and I have to clear about tourism. My current post is about some questions and answers which may help you to realize tourism and the importance of tourism.
What is tourism?
    Tour is the process of refreshing mind by going far from home. It is a medium of relaxation, recreation, entertainment. Where tourism is a mechanism for the implementation of a Tour.
 According to Mathieson and Wall (1982) definition of tourism as "the temporary movement of people to destinations outside their normal places of work and residence, the activities undertaken during their stay in those destinations, and the facilities created to cater to their needs."
According to Macintosh and Goeldner (1986) tourism is "the sum of the phenomena and relationships arising from the interaction of tourists, business suppliers, host governments and host communities in the process of attracting and hosting these tourists and other visitors."


What is the advantage of tourism?

     Tourism brings benefits  for both the tourist and the host country. It gives and generating income both public and private sector of a country. The tourism industry spreads different areas, so it also creates jobs. Tourism helps to build up hotels, restaurants, car rental agencies, tour companies, service stations and much more, which of this creates many different level of job for people related tourism. Many places of rural areas of a country get opportunity for economic and educational improvement that would not be possible by another process. It also gives a chance to experience other cultures and natural history.
