Tourism

Tourism is travel for pleasure; also the theory and practice of touring, the business of attracting, accommodating, and entertaining tourists, and the business of operating tours. Tourism may be international, or within the traveler's country. The World Tourism Organization defines tourism more generally, in terms which go "beyond the common perception of tourism as being limited to holiday activity only ", as people "traveling to and staying in places outside their usual environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and other purposes".

Tourism can be domestic or international, and international tourism has both incoming and outgoing implications on a country's balance of payments. Today, tourism is a major source of income for many countries, and affects the economy of both the source and host countries, in some cases being of vital importance.

Tourism suffered as a result of a strong economic slowdown of the late-2000s recession, between the second half of 2008 and the end of 2009, and the outbreak of the H1N1 influenza virus, but slowly recovered. International tourism receipts (the travel item in the balance of payments) grew to US$1.03 trillion (€740 billion) in 2011, corresponding to an increase in real terms of 3.8% from 2010. International tourist arrivals surpassed the milestone of 1 billion tourists globally for the first time in 2012, the same year in which China became the largest spender in international tourism globally with US$102 billion, surpassing Germany and United States. China and emerging markets such as Russia and Brazil had significantly increased their spending over the previous decade.

    Tourist

    by: Yuna

    I guess I'll hang around a little while, while you here
    No, I don't feel like being somewhere else
    I guess I wouldn't mind to fall in love a little bit
    Ouch, I think I fell a little more
    Hanging on to nothing
    I wouldn't change a thing
    Stay where you are now
    Oh no I've said too much
    Got both feet in
    My dear you fear too much
    I'm just a little bit in love within
    I'm falling in to you
    I'm just another tourist making stops, but it's clear
    No, I'll never leave without you
    Tell another story of love in loss and fear
    No, we have another night to kill
    Hanging on to nothing
    I'd do it all again
    Stay where you are now
    Oh no I've said too much
    Got both feet in
    My dear you fear too much
    I'm just a little bit in love within
    I'm falling in to you
    Crush through clouds and then we'll know
    Don't look back I want you so
    Love within
    I'm falling in to
    Love within
    I'm falling in to you
    Oh no I've said too much
    Got both feet in
    My dear you fear too much
    Just keep breathing
    Oh no I've said too much
    Got both feet in
    I hope it's not too much
    I'm just a little bit in love within
