Introduction:

Tourism is basically a traveling and staying in places outside usual

environment for not more than 1 consecutive year for recreational, leisure,

or business purposes.

Historically, the origin of modern vacation time can be traced back to the

1930s, when workers in France, for the first time, were given the right to

twelve paid vacation days. Today, tourism has become a total lifestyle

experience.

The past two centuries have witnessed an increase in the commoditization of

tourist sites across the world. Everything from historical monuments to

exotic holiday destinations has been redesigned and packaged for mass

consumption. As a result, the histories of specific sites have been re-

conceptualized. Some have been preserved and celebrated, while others

have been left to decay. In this process, buildings, cities and entire countries

have been remapped by tourism initiatives to serve political, cultural,

economic and scholarly goals.

Photography, film and souvenirs have been deployed to help mediate and

mythologize specific sites for the promotion of tourism.
