What is the clear definition of tourism?
Why have much study and research been paid attention to tourism?
What do you think of tourism as a thriving business?
How do you consider the definition of tourism endorsed by the WTO?
Could you give a definition of tourism by yourself?

         
   

according to Webster¡¯s international Dictionary (1961), means ¡°a journey in which one returns to the starting point; a circular trip usually for business, pleasure or education during which various places are visited and for which an itinerary is usually planned¡±.
WTO endorsed the following statement: ¡°Tourism comprises the activities of persons traveling to and staying in places outside their usual environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and other purposes.¡±
As tourism is the movement of people, it is necessary to define this major component of tourism---the tourist---before producing a definition for tourism.
Because it can bring much profit. so it is a profitable industry.
There seems to be room for improvement if one compares this definition with the earlier definition. Perhaps this leaves us a chance to use the definitions mentioned above and reword them
Please!
