tropical tourism

Warm destination travel

Tropical tourism is travel to warm, equatorial regions for leisure—typically beach resorts, rainforests, or island destinations.

The term encompasses both the industry and the activity: Tropical tourism drives much of the Caribbean economy.

It often implies sun-seeking vacations with palm trees, coral reefs, and relaxed atmospheres, though it can also involve ecotourism or adventure travel in jungle settings.
