  5. TOURISM • Tourism is a ‘style’ of recreation • Characterized by • a travel component • a temporary relocation of residence

  6. Practical Definition of a Tourist • The boundaries of an economy obviously influence the definition of a tourist, since non-resident spectators are defined as pleasure travelers, a label synonymous with tourists (Turco & Kelsey, 1992). • Common characteristics of a tourist definition include travel at least 50 miles (80 k) one-way and an overnight stay, and pleasure travel as a primary or secondary purpose of the trip. • Those who do not stay overnight would be considered excursionists.

  7. DEFINITION OF TRIPSIsolation of impacts • Problems when we attempt to define a recreational trip Government definitions arenot built for purpose (why people travel) - rather for statistical convenience • So we only tend to count travel that is significant

  8. In the Census of Transportation, USA, only trips that take the traveler over 100 miles are counted • In Canadian Travel surveys trips must take travelers away from home for an overnight stay • The definition of a trip depends on who is conducting the survey - What does this do for consistency and cross-comparison?

  9. In Australia a tourist is a non-resident staying less than 12 months • In Israel a tourist is any non-resident entering on a tourist visa - except for an immigrant, temporary resident or air passenger in transit • In the USA a tourist is any non resident who visits for business, pleasure, or study or is in transit between countries - except for Canadians who only count if they stay overnight
