“Tourism” is here defined as “the activity of people who travel to places outside their customary surroundings and stay there for leisure-time, business or other purposes for no longer than one year without interruption” (WTO, n.d.). Moreover, “their main reason for travel must be other than performing an activity which is remunerated at the place visited” (op. cit.).
