    and their activities during the stay at each destination

    "hospes", which means guest. Hospitality is the friendly
    and generous reception and entertainment of guests,
    visitors, or strangers and providing them food, beverages,

    place. This is a crucial element of travel as if there is no reason for a person to visit a place then

    differs from domestic tourism and international tourism.

    "independent tour."

    which includes:

    b. Tourist product is largely psychological in its attraction
    c. Tourist product tends to vary in standard and quality
    d. Supply of the product is fixed

    Service may be characterized as:


    INTANGIBLE Can’t be seen, tasted, felt, heard or smelled before being purchased
    INSEPARABLE Can’t be separated from service providers
    VARIABLE Quality depends on who provides them when,where and how
    PERISHABLE Can’t be stored for later sale or us

    TOURIST DESTINATION: Is a geographical location which has the necessary


    components to attract tourists and meet their needs- usually due to its cultural and natural values.

    TOURIST SERVICES
    - The travel and stay tourists give rise to a wide range of services in the course of a holiday. The
    main tourist services are usually supplied by passenger transport which provides the capacity of
    travelers to reach their destination as well as the movement at their destination
    - Many types of transport are available such as planes, trains, and cruises

    - Accommodation, food and beverage and entertainment constitute another part of the tourist
    services. Hotels are necessary for a large group of tourists and travelers because these are the
    places where they can stay and be accommodated during the length of their vacation

    - Restaurants to provide food and beverages are also considered to be as important as hotels for the
    provision of pleasure eating. Entertainment, amusement and recreation are the primary reasons for
    people to travel

    Travel agent and tour operators are also vital tourist services. The travel agent is the distributor of
    the product while the tour operators are the manufacturers of these products. The travel agent
    provides connections between the tourist and the providers of the other tourist services while the
    tour operator combines individual components of a holiday into a product which is then sold by the
    travel agents to tourists
