The world has become a “global village” and many take that phrase as a cliché. Looking at it keenly, you realize that it is not cliché but the truth. Movement from one corner of the world to another has been simplified thanks to the development of a consistent airline industry. In addition to this, getting information from the remote parts of the world has been made easier due to developments in the communication sector. Over the years there has been an increase in the number of people visiting countries not of their origin. The idea is to interact with their environment, culture and appreciate the diversity of mankind. Annually, countries harvest a great fortune when visitors stream in for tourism purposes.
