What Tourism actually is, is a social phenomenon that involves various aspects of society. Therefore, it is something very complex to establish at first glance, since tourism is not an economic activity, and ultimately it is not an industry.
It is an activity made up of people, without them tourism would not be possible nor would it exist as such. We are the people who determine: what is touristy and what is not, an attraction in itself would be nothing without the intervention of human beings.

Tourism is a social phenomenon that goes beyond a technical term or an economic analysis, so below I present a definition of tourism, according to my own criteria.
Definition of Tourism
It is a socio-economic phenomenon, which is produced by the displacement of a group of people, in order to satisfy their needs for leisure, recreation, adventure; among other. For a period greater than 24 hours and less than one year, non-profit.
History of Tourism
It can be said that it began with the first expeditions of the tribes searching for food due to the need for survival, also to conquer other territories, remember that the tribes were nomadic in prehistory, so they did not have a fixed place to settle.
Lógicamente no existía el concepto de dinero - caso contrario, alguien pudo haberse hecho rico alquilando sus cuevas ???? - en todo caso las personas ya se movilizaban a diversos lugares.
También los movían las cuestiones religiosas, tenía por lo tanto que buscar lugares donde pasar la noche - aquí ya vemos el inicio de la hotelería - los peregrinos tenían que para a descansar y alimentarse.
A lo largo de todas las épocas y en todas las civilizaciones se puede hablar de turismo - obviamente en esas épocas no se había inventado la terminología - con viajeros que querían ir descubriendo nuevos destinos y tener nuevas experiencias.
Why did I dedicate myself to Tourism?
En definitiva no hay otra cosa en el mundo que me llene el alma, como haberme dedicado al turismo - sobre todo en la naturaleza - es una actividad que lo tiene todo en uno:
- Art
- Culture
- Traditions
- Trips
- Knowledge
- Biodiversity
- Gastronomy
It is incredible to meet people from other latitudes, learn a little about their culture. At home, more than anything in recent years I have dedicated myself to being a tourist guide, showing the natural and cultural heritage of my beautiful country to those who want to know and learn more about Ecuador, the country of Middle of the World
