Abstract

          “Traveling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.” – Ibn Battuta

Indian history dates back to 3000 BC with excavations from Punjab and Gujrat revealing that the Indus Valley civilisation was a highly developed urbanised society. People have travelled and settled across the rivers from time to time setting up civilisations and societies for the harmonious life of people. It is not wrong to say that travel is as old as human civilisation itself. Tourism is a facet of travel which unlike setting civilisations is not of a permanent nature but merely of temporary nature, i.e. for a short duration for any purpose whatsoever. The term tourism commonly refers to transnational travel by a person but may also refer to travel by person from one place to another within the same country. Several international organisations including the League of Nations, United Nations and the Tourism Society of England have tried to define tourism. The League of Nations in 1936 defined the term 'tourist' as someone who travels from one place to another at least for twenty four hours. In 1945, the United Nations defined the term tourist as a person moving from one place to another for any purpose for a period not more than six months. It has been defined in the Tourism Society of England that tourism is a temporary, short term movement of people to destination outside the places where they normally live and work and the activities pursued by them during the stay at each destination.
