Tourism is a social cultural and economic phenomenon, which involves the movement of people to countries or places outside their usual for personal or business purposes or business environment. These people are called visitors (and may be tourists or excursionists, residents or non-residents) and tourism refers to activities that involve some travel expenses.
Tourism therefore has an impact on the economy, on the natural and built environment, the local population of the destination and the tourists themselves. Because of these multiple impacts, the range and variety of inputs required to produce these goods and services purchased by visitors, and the range of stakeholders and affected by tourism agents, it should be adopt an integrated approach to development, management and control of tourism. This approach is highly recommended for the formulation and implementation of national and local tourism policies, as well as international agreements or other mechanisms affecting tourism.
economic -Analysis
Tourism directly and indirectly generates an increase in economic activity in the places visited (and beyond), mainly due to the demand for goods and services that must be produced and delivered.
In the economic analysis of tourism, it is necessary to distinguish between "economic contribution" of tourism, which refers to the direct impact of tourism and can be evaluated through the CST, and the "economic impact" of tourism, much broader concept which represents the synthesis of direct, indirect and induced tourism and which should be evaluated by applying models.

Studies of the economic impact are designed to quantify the economic benefits, ie the net increase in wealth of residents resulting from tourism, measured in monetary terms, in addition to the amounts that would otherwise exist.
