Tourism is vital for many
countries, due to the income generated by the consumption
of goods and services by tourists, the taxes levied on businesses
in the tourism industry, and the opportunity for employment
and economic advancement by working in the industry. For these
reasons, NGOs and government agencies may sometimes promote
a specific region as a tourist destination, and support the
development of a tourism industry in that area.
The contemporary phenomenon
of mass tourism may sometimes result in overdevelopment; alternative
forms of tourism such as ecotourism seek to avoid such outcomes
by pursuing tourism in a sustainable way.
The terms tourism and travel are sometimes used interchangeably.
In this context travel has a similar definition to tourism,
but implies a more purposeful journey. The terms tourism and
tourist are sometimes used pejoratively to imply a shallow
interest in the cultures or locations visited by tourists.

The tip of Africa has been home to the Koisan

around 500 AD the different cultural groups as we know them
today had been established in the area. |
