Work in the Tourist Industry

Tourism has become a major recreation pursuit, and commercial industry world wide. It is so significant today that the economy of some regions (even some countries) is more heavily dependent upon tourism than anything else. The tourism industry encompasses the provision of all those services used by people when traveling away from home. The reason for travel is most obviously "a holiday"; but may also be "business".
