Question
Why has the demand for holidays increased rapidly?
Solution
The demand for holidays increased rapidly because Tourism fosters the growth of infrastructure industries, retail trading, and craft industries. In some regions, tourism is seasonal because the vacation period is dependent on favourable weather conditions, but many regions attract visitors all the year round. Historic towns also attract tourists, because of the monument, heritage sites and cultural activities.
