Keywords:
Socio-economic, TourismAbstract
"Life is a journey." How often have we heard that phrase or used it ourselves? It has been noted that it is humankind's most appropriate metaphor. The notion of travel is hard-wired into the human experience. In ancient times, travel was motivated by the desire for exploration, discovery, and enrichment, and times have not changed much. A longing to explore, to discover, and to become enriched still drives people to travel today. The desire to travel has made travel and tourism the number one industry in many countries of the world and the largest service sector for the United States. The travel and tourism industry is one of the few industries credited with producing a positive trade balance for the U.S. economy. It is one of the largest employers, developing workers at all levels and areas of expertise.
