Traditional definitions. the temporary movement
of people to destinations outside their normal
places of work and residence, the activities
undertaken during their stay in those
destinations and the facilities created to care
to their need. (Mathieson Wall,
1982) defining tourism by what it isnt it is
not home, it is not work it is a change of
scenery and lifestyle, an inversion of the
normal tourism includes all travel that involves
a stay of at least one night, but less than one
year, away from home (World Tourism
Office) Source A Franklin. Tourism an
introduction. 2003. Sage London.

Recent definitions. Tourism derives from the
condition of life in modernity and the experience
of modernity not an escape from it. Tourism is
more than travel tourism is more about the
accessibility of novelty and the modern world
generally. Tourism is consumerism in a
globalising modernity Tourism is an embodied
experience not simply a visual experience.
Tourism is a central component of modern social
identity formation and engagement rather than
something shallow and insignificant that takes
place on the social margin. Tourism is infused
into the everyday and has become one of the ways
in which our lives are ordered and one of the
ways in which consumers orientate themselves, or
take a stance to a globalised world. Tourism is
now far too blended into everyday life and the
global flows of people and things to be treated
as a detachable phenomenon. The everyday world is
increasingly indistinguishable from the touristic
world. Almost everywhere has become mantled with
touristic properties Source A Franklin.
