Humans have been moving about since the dawn of time. The early travel motives were to obtain resources (trade), food, water, safety, or all four. However, the notion of leisure travel or exploration quickly took hold. Technology has always been the means or mode of transportation for travel. The early explorers rode or walked on domestic animals. Transportation, lodging, eating and drinking places, retail stores, entertainment businesses, activity facilities, and other hospitality services are just a few of the activities, services, and industries that make up the tourism industry and provide travelers with a trip experience. With yearly earnings of more than 3 trillion dollars, the World Tourism Organization (WTO) asserts that tourism is currently the greatest industry in the world. In the United States, tourism supports approximately six million jobs, making it the largest employer in the nation. The book "World Tourism in the New Millennium" opens with models and forecasting methods before delving deeply into the present and projected state of tourism in North America, South America, Asia, Africa, and Europe. This unique presentation on current and future tourism scenarios is required for students, professors, tour advisors, tour guides, travelers, and the general public.
