Travel and tourism
What's the difference between travel and tourisen? Well, being a trucker is more than
just being a holidaymaker. A holiday is just a short time away, and it normally
involves relaxation Tourists stay in holiday resorts, not travelers Travelers go for the
experience and their journeys are usually much longer and more challenging For
example, travelers tend to avoid tourist traps and like to go off the beaten truck te
discover new places. Travel is an age old phenomenon, but is a relatively
recent invention. Thomas Cook is often described as the first travel agent because he
arranged the package tour" a 19-ilometre tnp for 500 people, in 1841.
Going overseas in order to experience a different way of life is what many people
think of as travel, but travel does not necessarily mean going abroad. How many
people can say they have visited every part of their own country? Many people who
live in vast coramines such as Russa and the USA have only visited a small part of
their own country, and so domestic travel is also very exciting It's a surprising fact
that about 73 peroenl of US citizens do ei oan a passport, so travelling does not
mean leaving the country for them
