1. INTRODUCTION

Between the second half of 2008 and the end of 2009, when the H1N1 influenza virus broke out, and as a result of the strong economic slowdown (the late 2000s recession), tourism numbers dropped. However, they slowly recovered until the COVID-19 pandemic ended the growth abruptly. International tourism receipts grew to US$1.03 trillion (€740 billion) in 2005, corresponding to an increase in real terms of 3.8% from 2010. International tourist arrivals surpassed the milestone of 1 billion tourists globally for the first time in 2012, emerging source markets such as China, Russia, and Brazil had significantly increased their spending over the previous decade. Global tourism accounts for roughly 8% of global greenhouse-gas emissions. Emissions as well as other significant environmental and social impacts In order to lessen the negative effects brought on by the expanding impact of tourism, numerous tourism development organizations have begun to concentrate on sustainable tourism. Through programs like the International Year for Sustainable Tourism for Development in 2017 and Tourism for SDGs, which focuses on how SDGs 8, 12, and 14 implicate tourism in creating a sustainable economy, the United Nations World Tourism Organization emphasized these practices by promoting tourism as part of the Sustainable Development Goals. Tourism has reached new dimensions with the emerging industry of space tourism as well as the current industry of cruise ships; there are many different ways to travel. Virtual tourism is another potential new tourism industry. Tourism that crosses national borders is known as international tourism. Globalization has made the travel industry a well known worldwide relaxation movement.

2. DISCUSSION

The World Tourism Organization defines tourists as individuals "traveling to and staying in places outside their usual environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business, and other purposes. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that up to 500,000 people are in flight at any given time. In 2010, international tourism reached US$919 billion, growing 6.5% over 2009, corresponding to an increase in real terms of 4.7 percent. In 2010, there were over 940 million international tourist arrivals worldwide.

International tourism has a significant impact on the environment, which is exacerbated by a number of factors, including wealthy tourists bringing lifestyles that put a strain on the infrastructure, water, and trash systems of the area, among other things. The monetary underpinnings of the travel industry are basically the social resources, the social property and the idea of the movement area. Today, the World Heritage Sites merit special mention because they truly attract tourists. However, even a nation's current or previous type of government can be definitive for the travel industry. For instance, the interest of the English imperial family carries a huge number of travelers to Extraordinary England consistently and in this way the economy is around £550 million per year. In Central Europe, the Habsburg family is frequently mentioned. It is anticipated that the Habsburg brand will result in annual tourism sales of 60 million euros for Vienna alone. It is true that "Habsburg sells" applies to tourists. Typically, tourists want to feel like they are participating in a real-life experience of the place they are visiting. As indicated by Dignitary MacCannell, the travel industry expects that the vacationer can see the visited region as both valid and unique in relation to their own lived experience.: 113 [A better source is required] Tourists learn about themselves by seeing the "exotic": that is, they are typical or "un-exotic." MacCannell asserts that all modern tourism views the "authentic" and "exotic" as "developmentally inferior" to the modern, or the tourist's actual experience.

The Grand Tour, which was a traditional trip around Europe (especially Germany and Italy) by mostly upper-class young men of means from Western and Northern European countries, can be traced back to modern tourism. The young Prince of Poland, Ladislaus Sigismund Vasa, the eldest son of Sigismund III, embarked on a journey across Europe in 1624, as was customary among Polish nobility. He traveled through the territories that are now Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, where he observed the Siege of Breda by Spanish forces, France, Switzerland, and Italy, Austria, and the Czech Republic. It was an educational journey, and one It was a chance to learn and a rite of passage. Similar trips were made by wealthy young men from Protestant Northern European nations on the Continent, and from the second half of the 18th century, some young people from South America, the United States, and other overseas countries joined in. However, these trips were primarily associated with the British nobility and wealthy landed gentry. After rail and steamship travel made the journey easier and Thomas Cook made the "Cook's Tour" a byword, the tradition expanded to include more middle-class people.

3. CONCLUSION

In the 18th and 19th centuries, upper-class students made the Grand Tour into a real status symbol. During this time, the theories of Johann Joachim Winckelmann regarding the primacy of classic culture gained a lot of popularity and appreciation in the academic community in Europe. Classical art, as demonstrated by Italy, France, and Greece, was affirmed by writers, artists, and travelers like Goethe. Because of these factors, the centers where upper-class students could find rare examples of classic art and history were the primary destinations on the Grand Tour.
