Tourism is the lifeblood for many countries around the globe. The five main characteristics of tourism are a combination of phenomena and relationships. Tourism has two essential elements and they are the dynamic element that is the trip and the static element which consists of the stay. Third, the journey to and the stay are destinations outside the place where the tourists live and work. Once at the destination the stay is temporary in nature and the reason for the visit has nothing to do with business or vocational reasons.

Tourism means billions of dollars a year and is vital to the economy of many countries around the globe such as France, United States, Greece, Spain, Italy, and many tropical island nations such as Aruba, The Bahamas, and more. The number of tourists world-wide is close to one billion and the number grows annually as more destinations are more affordable now than ever before.

While rich people have long traveled the world to seek new adventures, the concept of tourism by the common man is relatively new. When employers began offering vacation time in the early parts of the 20th Century tourism became much more common. Winter tourism either involves people who flock to ski destinations or people who flee to the opposite hemisphere of the world to seek warmer weather during the winter months of their homes.

Most summer tourism tends to involve the sun and sand. Tropical islands attract crowds all year round and many industries have evolved to make destinations even more attractive. Visitors to tropical islands can expect to find daily fishing and snorkeling tours, and even deep-sea diving for the truly adventurous.  There is no better way to refresh yourself and your family than to take a trip to see new sights and new people, and you can be sure the businessmen and people there will be more than happy to see you.

Tangibility - unlike the products of primary or secondary industries,tourism products cannot be seen,touched or handled.
Inseparability - tourism products are first sold,then consumed in the same place and at the same time
perishability - it is linked to the fact that tourism products are consumed as they are produced
