The magic of tourism

International tourism has grown up and developed very fast in the last decades, until the point to become a very important activity. This economic sector brings us a lot of benefits, for example: jobs. Being an activity that is constantly growing, more companies in this industry arise creating a lot of jobs for the population. As if this were not enough, is a service that generates a great monetary spill in so many touristic cities.
On the other hand, talking about social aspects of tourism, is important to know that it allows the cultural interchange between people from all parts of the world. We can realize its relevance in many example, such as: the social and cultural changes in the society. People are increasingly aware of social problems such as increased inequalities and natural environment deterioration. 
Another aspect we can mention are the technological improvements. Thanks to this advances, tourism can be more promoted through the mass media: television, radio, etc, but also through the Internet in social media like Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, among other, and blogs like this one.    
In this blog we will talk about some countries and specific cities that are tourist destinations par excellence. We will learn about their gastronomy and culinary arts, buildings and architecture, weather, religion, traditions, population lifestyle, and more. This will be an interesting blog so, let's run the world!
