Tourists at the Temple of Apollo, Delphi, Greece

Tourism is essentially defined as travel for pleasure, either domestically (within the traveler's own country) or internationally. Tourism is not only an individual or group activity for the enjoyment of the travelers, but also has economic implications for many locations and enterprises. However, tourism often has significant environmental and social impacts that are not always beneficial to local communities and their economies. Thus, a greater awareness of these impacts has arisen, with efforts made to encourage sustainable tourism that both satisfies the needs of the tourists and protects and even benefits the natural and social environment.
