Tourism is a risky business and depends on many factors, such as weather, economics and even neighbour countries. Furthermore,
there is fierce competition to attract tourists, not only among different
countries but also among the resorts within each country.
Tourism is a growing industry and one of the largest sources of
foreign exchange. Enormous sums of money are injected into the
economies of some nations by winter and summer tourism. Employment
opportunities in the service sector increase substantially. Many cities are also important centers for international conferences and exhibitions.
The number of tourists increases steadily. Luxury establishments are developed for wealthy foreigners. Tourism supports many
small businesses that provide food, lodging, fuel, and other supplies and
services.
