Travel and Tourism

Another way of conceptualizing tourism is as a form of voluntary temporary mobility by which people travel to another location - often for leisure or visiting friends and relations (VFR). This way of thinking about tourism helps differentiate it from forced mobility, as in the case of pilitical or environtmental refugees,for example, people having to move because of a major flood, or permanent migration. The concept of temporary mobility therefore includes a wide range of tourism-related phenomenon such as leisure travel,health tourism,volunteer tourism,educational travel,travel to second homes,working holidays and business travel.
