The tourism and the traveling Industry was the fastest growing industry in the world. In the world before Covid-19, people love and prefer to spend their time and money on traveling. This created platform for people to open a business like hotels, travel agencies, and much more.
These industry comes under two categories:
1. Tourism Industry: Tourism is the act of moving from one place to another for either pleasure or business for one or more than one year.
2. Travel Industry: Travels refers to moving from one place to another for a short time, can be either domestic or international.
We know, it is hard to make any difference between these two industries, even most of the traveling agencies are not able to make any difference between these two industries.
