Understanding Your Role in Tourism

That star rating on your hotel isn't just a suggestion. It's part of a massive, regulated system

controlling your entire trip. Tourism is the study of every activity and service that

makes up your travel experience. The transport you choose, from a budget bus

to a luxury train, and the type of accommodation, like a B&B or a safari lodge,

are all specific sectors. You're even categorized into a 'tourist profile'—are you

an adventure seeker or a cultural tourist? So next time you travel, remember you're

not just exploring; you're a key player in a global industry.
