Nature of Tourism
The nature of tourism is deeply associated with travelling from
one place to another. It is human nature since the starting of human
civilization. It is a curiosity of the human nature in the context of moving to
explore, dwell, search for a secure place, and to know the unknown places and
things. In the past, the people began to move as nomads in search of food and
prey. As time passed, the development of the agricultural system created a base
of the movement of the people as a traveler. Then the output of the industrial
revolution made traveling prominent to various destinations. It made the
traveler's lifestyle easier and safer to realize their tourism
activities.
In this way, modern tourism is absolutely changed due to the ample
development of overall sectors of tourism components and the awareness of the
people. The nature of tourism is mentioned in the following topics.

Tourism products are
stationary: In the tourism industry, the attractions encourage the ambitions of
the tourists. The attractions, such as the mountains, lakes, historical
monuments, museums, theme and fun parks, gorges, valleys, waterfalls, climate
and seasons, flora and fauna, etc. are something which cannot be copied or
imitated by any other countries. At the same time, they are immobile. A prospective
tourist needs to approach these beauties and not vice versa.
2.

the mass: There exists a spontaneous process of learning and exchanging of
ideas in this industry. The scope of exploration and discovery is very high
among adventure tourists. Due to tourism, there exists a respect for each other
religious belief, cultural values, tradition, rites and rituals.

to the motivation of life style. Tourism inspires the people to exchange the lifestyle,
technically and scientifically, as it insists their desires to experience a
change and willingness to spend money and time. Tourism inspires the traveler
to get the new ideas both positive and negative and aspires to adopt in one’s
own life.

Tourism and service: Tourism
is a service industry, which is composed of those sectors of the economy that are
involved in providing service, such as accommodation, food, beverage, transportation
and recreations as well as distribution and sales SERVICES. Tourism industry
has been taken as the term that denotes work, productivity, employment income,
economic growth, social development, etc. but it does not produce any commodity
which cannot be touched or taken home. Hence, tourism is a hospitality industry
and a bridge between people. It makes a valuable contribution to the world’s
economy by employing more people than any other industry.
