The Tourist
In simple terms, a tourist is a person travelling to another location, away from their usual social environment, for business, pleasure or social reasons. By most accepted definitions, to be classed as a tourist, a person needs to stay at that location for longer than 24 hours, but for no longer than one year.

Transportation
The transportation sector is concerned with helping tourists to get where they need to go, via the provision of transport. This may include providing them with the means to get to their intended holiday destination in the first place, but may also include assisting them with getting around after they arrive at their destination.
Included within this sector are services related to road, rail, air and sea travel.
Accommodation
The accommodation sector is central to the travel and hospitality industry, because people travelling to different areas require somewhere to stay, rest, sleep and unwind. In fact, by many definitions, a tourist is only classed as such if their stay exceeds 24 hours and they use some form of overnight accommodation.
Within this subsection, there are a number of different components, ranging from the hotel industry to camping, hostels and cruises.
Food and Beverage
The food and beverage sector has an interesting role within the tourism industry, providing tourists with essential refreshments at all stages of their travel experience, including during travel, when spending time in their chosen accommodation, and when they are out and about exploring the location they have travelled to.
In addition to catering for travellers’ basic requirements, however, the food and beverage sector also offers them opportunities to socialise, meet new people and enjoy themselves.
Entertainment
Some tourists travel to new locations in the pursuit of entertainment. Such travellers may be drawn to entertainment options that are not available in their home location, or they may simply require more general entertainment, which would be accessible almost anywhere in the world, as part of their trip.
Entertainment attractions or venues are sometimes the main things drawing travellers to a particular tourist location. On the other hand, many other entertainment offerings are set up to capitalise on existing tourism.
Connected Industries
Finally, there are also a number of industries that are either directly or indirectly connected to the tourism industry. These include industries based on actually connecting customers with travel services, as well as industries based on providing customers with important information that can assist them in their travels.
Some of the most notable related industries are detailed in greater depth below:
Financial Services
Financial services can be linked to the travel industry in a number of ways, with the most obvious being the provision of insurance products, which offer financial protection in emergency situations, or in cases where medical treatment is needed. Additionally, financial services may be connected to things like currency exchanges.
Travel Agents
Travel agents sell travel or tourism-related products to customers on behalf of suppliers. They generally receive a commission from suppliers and also offer travellers advice on the best travel products to suit their particular needs or preferences. Some travel agents also offer business travel services.
Tour Operators
Tour operators tend to sell package holidays, which combine multiple travel and tour services into a single product. A package holiday might, for example, include charging tourists for flights, airport transfers, a hotel stay, and services from a local rep. It could also include holiday experiences or a set itinerary.
Online Travel Agencies (OTAs)
Online travel agencies, or OTAs, offer similar services to other travel agents, although these services are delivered over the internet, providing more of a self-service experience. Some of the most popular OTAs include Expedia, Booking.com, Kayak and lastminute.com. These OTAs may also double as metasearch engines.
Tourism Organisations
Tourism organisations are essentially organisations that exist to look out for the tourism industry and act on its behalf. They may have influence over national tourism policies, might lobby governments in the interests of the tourism industry, and could also work to bring the various sectors together.
