Medical tourism can be considered a kind of import: instead of the product coming to the consumer, as it does with cars or sneakers, the consumer is going to the product.
The tourist who moves about to see and hear and open himself to all the influences of the places which condense centuries of human greatness is only a man in search of excellence.
The attention of a traveller, should be particularly turned, in the first place, to the various works of Nature, to mark the distinctions of the climates he may explore, and to offer such useful observations on the different productions as may occur.
The tourist may complain of other tourists, but he would be lost without them.
Tourists don't know where they've been, travelers don't know where they're going.

Travel, which was once either a necessity or an adventure, has become very largely a commodity, and from all sides we are persuaded into thinking that it is a social requirement, too.
A traveller must buy his own experience, and success or failure depends mainly on personal idiosyncrasies.
The thing about tourism is that the reality of a place is quite different from the mythology of it.
The traveler sees what he sees, the tourist sees what he has come to see.
