What do you think ’tourism’ is? What does it include? What does it not include?
Write down the points that you think make a tourist.

  1. You must be in a different country to your own.
  2. You must be on your own.
  3. You have to see something ‘famous’.
  4. A tourist is not the same as a traveller. If no, what is the difference?
  5. Tourism is a big industry.
  6. Tourism is the same as being on holiday.

Point 4 asked about being a tourist or a traveller. What do you think are the differences?
Make a list and then compare with the fun article in Step 2 Reading (Signs you're a traveller, not a tourist). What points did you have in common?
Can you add any more of your own?
