About Tourists




A question may be appearing in my readers mind which is “Who are tourists?” and it is natural. Tourists are one of the principal research issues for tourism research. Let’s know who the tourist in tourism sectors is.
   According to the World Tourism Organization(WTO)  The temporary visitors staying in a place outside their usual place of residence, for a continuous period of at least 24 hours but less than one year, for leisure, business or other purposes.” 
(World Tourism Organization, 1993)
Which is the mostly accepted definition even at now.
