Summary:In the last decades, the tourism developed a lot, especially due to technological advances and access to an ever-increasing range of means of transport that allow convenient and fast travel over long distances and their increasingly affordable costs. Tourism is an important factor in both promoting countries and cultures, as well as in the economy.
