Advancements in transportation and communication have been the major thrust areas for achieving rapid industrialisation. As a result many new industries have mushroomed and have been responsible for catapulting many a nations to the status of highly industrialised nations.
Tourism is one such industry.
Tourism has today achieved the status of an industry and has become more than a cultural pilgrimage.
