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

from the Latin, 'tornare' and the Greek,
'tornos', meaning 'a lathe or circle; the movement around a central point or axis'
