Tourism was not always as important as it is today. In the past, only rich people could travel on holidays to other countries. But in 1976 one person in twenty visited a country away from home. More people travel today than in the past because there is a growing middle class in many parts of the world. People now have more money for travel. Special airplane fares for tourists make travel less expensive and thus more attractive than ever before.

One person does not travel for the same reason as another. But most people enjoy seeing countries that are different from their own. They also like to meet new people and try new foods. Tourism causes many changes in a country and in people’s lives. People build new hotels and restaurants and train native men and women as guides to show visitors interesting places. There are new nightclubs and other amusements. International tourism is clearly a big business.
