It can also be defined as an industry or a series of industrial sectors such as hotels, restaurants and transport all loosely grouped together which provide services for tourists. It can also be defined as an experience from the tourists point of view, an experience of of relaxation and pleasure. For the host communities it can be viewed as pleasurable and profitable, or as a troublesome nuisance.
