500 large properties built in England between the mid-16th century and
the early part of the 20th century, as well as converted abbeys and
other church property. They are usually distinguished from true

When some people want to travel, they are unsure as to what kind of trip they wish to go on. In most cases there are three main categories that can classify the types of road trips people can travel on, such as the simple trips, family trips and my personal favorite, the spontaneous road trips. Simple road trips are the type that simply go from one destination straight to another. Hence the name, simple, you simply have one location to the next, with possibly a few stops along the way if one decides to. This type of road trip is the kind you do when you possibly do not want to spend a lot of money on either booking a flight or even train instead.
People visit the extravagant grounds of Versailles every day with joy, hearing about all the historical and cultural events that have taken place there.

Therefore, what is travel? Travel is to move or go from one place to another (Cambridge Dictionaries Online, 2015). A memorable trip that I went is Genting Highlands, Bukit Tinggi and Sungkai. The trip is a family trip. This is a 2 Day 1 night trip. The motivation that motivate we go to travel is because of push and pull factor. Dann (1997) simply explains push factors as the motive that drives a tourist away from home and pull factors as the motives in which drive a tourist towards a destination. Based
In some religions pilgrimage is not an important commitment for all believers, but in Islam it is essential. The word pilgrimage means to set out with a purpose or journey to a sacred world. The world is a world. For Muslims this sacred place is Mecca and the purpose is to follow in the footsteps and actions of the prophet Muhammad as he entered Mecca and to show complete submission to Allah. Unlike the minor pilgrimage to Mecca (Umrah), which can be performed.
Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Sitting in the backseat of the car, I used to bombard my family with these questions. On our summer road trips I was so anxious for the destination that I failed to appreciate the journey. However, as time passed and I grew older, I realized that it was the journey that was important and not the destination.

A place, for me, is somewhere that I am familiar with and I recognize it in some way as my own special geographic location. It is somewhere I am emotionally attached to and it is a place that I wish to remain at. I personally feel that it has taken me years to achieve this particular comprehension about where for certain that place is for me in my life, and to make out why I feel a certain way about being within the walls of my own home. I have now come to realize that my home is where my heart will always truly be, because I believe it is the only place where I will always be loved without

Innumerable articles refer tourism as “the world’s largest industry”; policy-makers, analysts, and scholars often speak of the size of the tourism compared to that of other industries (Smith 2004: 26). These series of misleading statement, together with the mass media’s reports (out of context), make the idea that tourism is a single large industry branded into many people’s minds. However, in this essay I will demonstrate that it is a simplistic and misleading idea, which should be replaced by the plural term, “tourism industries”. Moreover, tourism is not the world’s largest industry, but largest service sector.
