What is tourism?

Tourism is when people go on trips to visit new places and have fun there.

Imagine you're going to a friend's house for a playdate. You know what to expect, maybe toys, snacks, and a game of tag. Now think about tourism: it’s like that, but instead of just one friend’s house, it could be a whole city, or even another country!

When people go on trips, they might visit famous landmarks, try new food, or do activities they don’t usually do at home, like riding a bike through the park or swimming in a big pool.

People love tourism because it gives them a chance to see something different, just like when you get to see your friend’s pet turtle for the first time. It also helps people who live in those places, because visitors bring money and make them happy.

Sometimes, tourism is like going on an adventure, you might not know what will happen next, but that’s part of the fun!
