Travel and Tourism

At the opposite end of the tourist trip is the recreation activity. The clearest form of a non-tourism recreation activity is any leisure activity that occurs within someone's residential home place. (The exception would be planning a vacation trip). As recreationists travels further away from from home, the same activity might be transformed into tourism. In general, recreation actitivities become tourists activities (or tourism products) when they are provided by private sector companies who mostly service non-resident visitors. They are considered recreation products when visiting tourists comprise a minority of the clients served.
