How to Integrate Tourism Research Method Theories With Practice

Tourism is the commercial enterprise of selling a person's home culture to a visiting population. The theory of tourism is that by exchanging ideas through leisure, populations will become more friendly and mutually support each other by sending tourism money to places that would otherwise not have the surplus income. This theory relies on money flowing into recipient countries, peace between the countries that do business, stability of economic relationship, host-nation security and repeat business. Practice would be testing all of these variables.
