What is Tourism?

To describe what Tourism is i will have to explain what a tourist is first. A tourist is YOU! YES, YOU! Everyone or atleast nearly everyone has been to a family Resort around Britain and that makes you a tourist: to take the the time to travel to a place other than your home town to take a look around and experience the delights of somewhere new. Right, down to "What is Tourism?" Tourism is where a tourist travel to places of attraction for pleasure.

What is a Resort?

A Resort is a place of leisure and discovery. A place where people of all ages go for a break from regular life and have fun. There are many kinds of resorts e.g. seaside, lakeside, skiing resorts etc, and it is not just in Britain that has resorts, they are scattered all around the world.

Some Resorts in Britain are set out to attract certain targets .g. Butlins, a holiday campsite company usually set near Resorts, is for all ages. Some Resorts are usually based on age, class etc, like Blackpool is set out to target to work in class and Bormouth in set out to target the old age group.
