Answers
Answer:
Tourism, the act and process of spending time away from home in pursuit of recreation, relaxation, and pleasure, while making use of the commercial provision of services. As such, tourism is a product of modern social arrangements, beginning in western Europe in the 17th century, although it has antecedents in Classical antiquity.
Answer:
Generally history is offered as a product in tourism. History figures prominently in promotional literature. Many destinations have always been promoted through their historicity like Jaipur, Pink city, City of Palaces, Fatehpur Sikri etc.
Similarly in travel writing, history is a popular theme to write upon and it can be the history of many things destination, fort, palace, art and crafts, people, airline etc. But most of these writings do not differentiate between history, mythology and legends and on many occasions distortions are put in as history and the element of evidence is totally ignored. This is also common among guides while describing monuments etc. These distortions take place due to lack of awareness about scientific history and dependence on unauthenticated history books
