Although tourism has the capacity to improve the economic activities of a country, the main reason for its creation is not only because of this reason. We have the word 'tourism' because there are people who want to explore and enjoy themselves by visiting some nicest places in the world. In view of this, it will be very logical to say that tourism is created to satisfy people's demand for pleasure. While this is just the original purpose of tourism and everything it entails, however, its results can be seen and felt by people in different areas.

Because there are tourist centers that draw a very great number of visitors every month, it will directly or indirectly create thousands of jobs for some people. Also, it is logical to say that the purpose of tourism is for job creation. So many people are running different tourist centers in a bid to make a profit, and that becomes one of the purposes of tourism. To those in government, tourism is usually seen as an important area to raise income for the country.

Tourism introduces visitors to parts of your city or country. Tourism is a vital part of the economic health of the country. It helps generate cash flow from the visitors spending money. It also creates jobs for people. Tourism is a consequence of modern social arrangements, which prevailed in the early 17th century in Europe.

It has a classical element to it which drives people to travel to different countries and prompts them to explore the unknown. Tourism corresponds with other interests, activities, and pursuits, including pilgrimage. (A pilgrimage is a journey which is often an obscure or foreign place where a person goes in search of a fresh perspective.)

Tourism serves so much function to a country. The main purpose of tourism is to promote a city or country. Tourism enhances the historical heritage, culture, traditions, and distinctiveness of a city or country. It is also used to raise money for people. This is done to boost most of the services and products available in a country.

Another important purpose of tourism is that it creates employment for people. Tourism also serves as a means of pleasure for many people; therefore, creating pleasure for people is another vital purpose of tourism. Tourism serves to provide a safe and fulfilling experience for tourists, available to all people without discrimination. Tourism also supports the conservation of natural habitats, wildlife and to minimize the damage done to natural conservations.
