Three main types of tourism:
Domestic tourism:
When people take holidays, short breaks and day trips in their own country, e.g. a family from Newcastle enjoying a two-week holiday in a farm guesthouse in Northern Ireland.
Inbound/incoming tourism:
When people enter a country from their own country of origin or another country which is not their home, e.g. Monsieur and Madame du Pont from Paris sampling the delights of Glasgow as part of a driving tour of Scotland.
Outbound tourism:
When people travel away from the country where they normally live, e.g. the family from Newcastle deciding to give Northern Ireland a miss this year and taking a week’s holiday at Disneyland Paris instead.
