As Law (1993) argues:
tourism is the geography of consumption outside the home area; it is
about how and why people travel to consume…on the production side it is
concerned to understand where tourism activities develop and on what
scale. It is concerned with the process or processes whereby some cities
are able to create tourism resources and a tourism industry.
(Law 1993:14)
