Types of tourism

Types of tourism
According to the classification given by the United Nations, there are three main categories of tourism these are:
1. Domestic tourism; which entails inhabitants of a particular country traveling just within that country
2. Inbound tourism; entails non-residents people traveling in a particular country
3. Outbound tourism; entails residents visiting in a different country (McKercher,1993)
Lately, there has been a shift in the tourism industry where by operators of the industry are shifting from promoting inbound tourism to promoting intrabound tourism since numerous countries are currently experiencing harsh competition in relations to inbound tourism.
