Summer is almost over and the golden time to take a tour is coming to an end. But it is not too late to start planning for it. Taking a break away from your work and your surrounding will not only refresh you both physically and mentally, it will give you greater insight on life and a valuable experience and memory to keep. It might seem like a big hassle to get ready for a trip, but today, with the internet being capable of doing most things, it is easier than ever to go on a tour over the break.

Tourism, or travel for recreational or leisure purposes, is carried on by tourists who is defined by the World Tourism Organization as people who travel to and stay in places outside their usual environment for no more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and other purposes not related to the exercise of an activity remunerated from within the place visited. Basically, people who go to places where they are not familiar with and having fun. The tourists have trends they follow, such as the countries they visit, countries they spend money on.

Every year, they tally the most visited countries and it is usually the European countries that take most of the spots in the top ten. France Spain and United States, China, Italy, United Kingdom and Germany are the usual in the top ten list while countries such as Mexico and Turkey are climbing up the ladder. Some people say that this is due to the fact that these countries have more to offer than other places but it also is due to the fact that those countries are more advanced in advertising and maintaining their tourist attraction areas. Also, the same countries are in the top ten countries that they spend money on because they hold the top designer and brands in their countries, along with tourists attraction that make money.
