Word origin

The term 'tourism' originated from the French word 'tourisme' in the early 19th century, which was derived from the Latin word 'tornare' meaning 'to turn.' Initially, tourism referred to the activities of people traveling for leisure, but it has evolved to encompass a wide range of travel-related activities. The modern tourism industry has become a significant driver of economic growth and cultural exchange around the world.
