It is connected with our vacations, and with our leisure time. It is more difficult to define it. And even harder to outline a juridical definition. Enciclopedia Britannica defines Tourism as “ the act and process of spending time away from home in pursuit of recreation, relaxation, and pleasure, while making use of the commercial provision of services ” 1 . 1 John K.
