Meaning and Definitions The Definition of Tourism varies source by source, person by person. There is no
consensus concerning the definition of tourism. Nearly every each institution
define "Tourism" differently. But When it comes to explain it with the basic
terms, we can sum it up as follows;
"Tourism is a collection of activities, services and industries which
deliver a travel experience comprising transportation,
accommodation, eating and drinking establishments, retail shops,
entertainment businesses and the hospitality services provided for
individuals or groups traveling away from home"
S

In India we see the origin of the concept of Tourism in Sanskrit
Literature. It has given us three terms derived from the root word
“Atana” which means going out and accordingly we have the
terms:
• Tirthatana – It means going out and visiting places of religious
merit.
• Paryatana - It means going out for pleasure and knowledge.
• Deshatana - It means going out of the country primarily for
economic gains.

UNWTO Definition of Tourism
In order to prevent the disaccords to define "Tourism", UNWTO defined it asindicated below;
"Tourism comprises the activities of persons traveling to and stayingin places outside their usual environment for not more than oneconsecutive year for leisure, business and other purposes."
Tourism is different from travel. In order for tourism to happen, there must bea displacement: an individual has to travel, using any type of means oftransportation (he might even travel on foot: nowadays, it is often the case forpoorer societies, and happens even in more developed ones, and concernspilgrims, hikers). But all travel is not tourism.
S
O
H
M
T
Three criteria are used
simultaneously in order to
characterize a trip as belonging
to tourism. The displacement
must be such that;
It involves a displacement
outside the usual environment:
this term is of utmost
importance.
S

H
M
T
Type of purpose: the travel must
occur for any purpose different from
being remunerated from within the
place visited: the previous limits, where
tourism was restricted to recreation
and visiting family and friends are now
expanded to include a vast array of
purposes;

Difference between Tourist, Traveler and
Excursionist
Travel refers to the activity of travellers. A ‘traveller’ is someone who moves
between different geographic locations for any purpose and any duration.
Travel within a country by residents is called domestic travel. Travel to a
country by non-residents is called inbound travel, whereas travel outside a
country by residents is called outbound travel.
Those who undertake travel, be it domestic, inbound or outbound, will be called
domestic, inbound or outbound travellers, respectively.
A trip refers to the travel by a person from the time of departure from his usual
residence until he/she returns: it thus refers to a round trip. A trip is made up of
visits to different places
S

The travel of a person coming from America to India will be called as

S
O
H
M
T
A ‘visitor’ is a traveller taking a trip to a main destination outside his/her usual
environment, for less than a year, for any main purpose (business, leisure or
other personal purpose) other than to be employed by a resident entity in the
country or place visited. These trips taken by visitors qualify as tourism
trips.Tourism refers to the activity of visitors.
A domestic, inbound or outbound traveller on a tourism trip is called a domestic,
inbound or outbound visitor, respectively.
Furthermore, the travel of domestic, inbound or outbound visitors is called
domestic, inbound or outbound tourism, respectively.
S
O
H
M
T
Tourism is therefore a subset of travel and visitors are a subset of travellers.
These distinctions are crucial for the compilation of data on flows of travellers and
visitors and for the credibility of tourism statistics.
A visitor (domestic, inbound or outbound) is classified as a tourist (or overnight
visitor) if his/her trip includes an overnight stay.
Or as a same-day visitor (or excursionist) otherwise.
