Tourism refers to the broad framework that identifies tourismÂ’s essential characteristics and distinguishes tourism from similar, often related but different phenomena. It describes three concepts: The movement of the people, a sector of the economy or an industry, a brad system of interacting relationships of people, their needs to travel outside their communities and services that attempt to respond to these needs by supplying products. Tourism has numerous tangible and intangible elements. Major tangible elements include transportation, accommodation, and other components of the hospitality industry.
Scholarly peer review is the process of subjecting an author's scholarly work, research, or ideas to the scrutiny of others who are experts in the same field, before a paper describing this work is published in a journal. The work may be accepted, considered acceptable with revisions, or rejected. Peer review requires a community of experts in a given (narrowly defined) field, who are qualified and able to perform reasonably impartial review.
