Tourism is the experience of traveling to destinations outside of your usual environment. It can range from business travel to tourism intended for recreation, religious pilgrimage or other leisure activity. Tourism has become an important part of the global economy and makes up a significant share of international trade. 

There are many different fields within this industry, from the travel agents who plan your holiday or business trip to the tour guides who lead you around town or abroad. These positions have very different requirements and the ability to learn new skills quickly is essential for moving between roles throughout your career.
