When people leave their house and go for travel the two basic things they needs which is accommodation and food, and hotel industry exactly provides both things. Hotel also can defined that as a “Home away from home”. According to the dictionary of hotel meaning, a building to provide lodging, food, and other services for travellers and guests on a short-term basis and they need to pay for that (oxford dictionaries and Wikipedia). The author A.M. Sheela as mentioned that hotel is the place where the tourist stops being the traveller and become a guest.

A hotel is an establishment that supply accommodation, often meals and other services for travelers and other paying guests. It offeres paid lodging, typically on a short-term basis. Hotels often provide a number of additional customer services such as restaurant, laundry, swimming pool or childcare.

However, whatever the type or size of hotels, with concern to the work of housekeeping, this department has one basic function, is to oversee the cleanliness and comfort of hotels.
What is home? If one looks in a dictionary the answer would come out to be, “The place where one lives permanently, especially as a member of a family or household.” However, for anyone who has had an actual home, they would know that such a term goes much beyond its concrete description. It is an impassioned aspect filled with values and foundation of nurturing. A home is not just an abode built to live in; in fact, that is just a definition of a house. Home is a place where one not only feels comfortable, but a place they look forward to opportunely live in every day. A home is built not by bricks or wood, but with the bond of family. A home is a place that reminds a person of countless memories and values when he walks through a corridor of the house, or looks at one of his belongings. On the other hand, a person can move from one house to the next. However, their home remains the same. No matter where they go, people will reminiscence about the one place or a group of people with whom they felt truly content.
He write “Adventure Tourists – that’s those young people who come with back packs, take selfies all over the place, and talk loudly about how ‘awesome’ they are in the bar, isn’t it? “.

Next words of Local Council Member who suggest that this kind of tourist don’t have a jobs, are again the falsehood. According to ATTA, the average global trip price per day is 477 US Dollars, this statistic indicates that customers of this niche of tourism definitely have a financial resources to pay for their active holidays. There is no research about employment of average adventure tourist, but it can be assumed that most of them earn their money at some kind of work. Local Council Member said that in his opinion this part of industry not bringing much money in. As stated in UNWTOs “Global Report on Adventure Tourism” in comparison, on a global level, non-adventure tourists spend about 500 US Dollars per person per holiday, this is about 40% less than the amount spent by adventure tourists. What is more in mass tourism, approximately four-fifths of the revenue from a trip goes to airlines, hotels and other international companies.

Tourism is the one of economic and social activities that increasingly vital. Number of travellers domestic and international is increasing.

In the more economically developed countries (MEDCs), synonymous mainly with the industrialised countries of the northern hemisphere there, has been an explosion in the growth of leisure and tourism industry, which is now believed to be the worlds second largest industry in terms of money generated. In order to differentiate between leisure and tourism it should be recognised that leisure often involves activities enjoyed during an individual’s free time, whereas tourism commonly refers to organised touring undertaken on a commercial basis. Development in the two areas could be attributed to changing patterns in working lives within the last four decades. Generally, people now have more disposable wealth, work shorter hours, receive longer, paid annual leave, retire earlier and have greater personal mobility. In addition, according to Marshall & Wood (1995), the growth of the tourist industry per se can be associated, in part, with the concentration of capital; the emergence of diversified leisure based companies, sometimes within wider corporate conglomerates and often associated with particular airlines. Furthermore, the development of tourism can generate employment both directly, in jobs created in the hotels, restaurants etc, and indirectly, through expenditure on goods and services in the local area. Nevertheless, although the tourist industry is competitive, which essentially keeps down the cost of foreign travel, the success of tourism in any one area can be ‘influenced by weather, changing consumer tastes, demographics, economic cycles, government policy, not to mention international terrorism and other forms of conflict.’(1) Although such factors may have a detrimental affect on the economy of a popular tourist destination (or even tourism in general, in light of September 11th 2001), the consequence of tourism in general is often three fold: environmental, social and cultural, which in turn has prompted a search for new ‘friendly’ approaches that are less destructive.
At the present time, one of the inseparable parts of the economic growth is considered as tourism industry. Commonly, tourism is the movement of people to other places for business or leisure purposes as well as covers their activities. Holloway and Humphreys defines that the places where tourists come and spend their money are called as “tourist destinations” in other words “receiving areas”. Many countries have been improving tourism to overcome economic difficulties since it is growing fast. The industry activities have been demonstrated a general positive trend in the economy and it has already become the inherent part of economic development. In host countries, tourism has led to such positive consequences as the improved infrastructure,
