Turisme

Turisme, or “tourism” in English, refers to the activity of traveling to different places for leisure, recreation, or exploration. It involves individuals or groups visiting locations outside their usual environment for purposes such as relaxation, entertainment, cultural enrichment, or adventure. The tourism industry encompasses various sectors, including transportation, accommodation, food services, attractions, and hospitality, aimed at catering to the needs and preferences of travelers.

Tourism can be domestic, where individuals travel within their own country, or international, where they travel abroad. It can also vary widely in form, including ecotourism, adventure tourism, cultural tourism, and luxury tourism, each appealing to different interests and motivations of travelers.

The impact of tourism can be significant, influencing local economies, cultures, and environments. It has the potential to drive economic growth and create jobs but can also lead to challenges such as over-tourism and environmental degradation if not managed sustainably. Overall, tourism plays a crucial role in the global economy and cultural exchange.
