Pleasure travel business
Tourism is the activity of traveling for pleasure, or the industry built around it.
Tourists visit places for recreation, culture, or scenery rather than work.
The word often implies organized travel with economic impact: Tourism drives the local economy.
Mass tourism has changed the character of the old town.
