TOURISM
Tourism is travel for recreational, leisure, or
business purposes, usually of a limited
duration. Tourism is commonly associated with
trans-national travel, but may also refer to
travel to another location within the same
country
William F. Theobald (1994) suggested that "etymologically, the word tour is derived
from the Latin, 'tornare' and the Greek,
'tornos', meaning 'a lathe or circle; the movement around a central point or axis'
