Italy
Italy is one of the largest regions of international tourism. It combines carefree recreation on the sea coast with shopping in the capital of fashion; tours to the places where the culture of Western civilization was born, and incredibly delicious Italian cuisine. This is a country of love for life and its essence. Proofs can be found in every beautiful corner of this country. It’s easy to fall in love with Italy. All you have to do is to look around.
The Italians gave the greatest artistic geniuses to the world: painters, architects, and sculptors who left hundreds of masterpieces on the Apennine Peninsula. 53 of them are included in the list of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and it’s more than in any other country in the world. The main cultural centers in Italy are Rome, Naples, Milan, Florence, Venice, and Turin.
This country makes you feel like in the corner of paradise. The unbelievable nature of the peninsula surrounded by five seas, scattered with 1500 crystal clear lakes, decorated with extraordinary plants, takes you to another world where even a simple act of breathing seems different.
Every person who plans to visit Italy is getting ready for marvelous daily meals in advance. And not in vain! Almost at every step, you shall find a cozy restaurant, cafe or a family tavern with Mediterranean pasta, pizza, minestrone, carpaccio, risotto, and lasagna. For dessert, order the worldwide known Italian gelato and a glass of wine from a local home winery.
Cultural Tours
Tourism is travel for pleasure or business; also the theory and practice of touring, the business of attracting, accommodating, and entertaining tourists, and the business of operating tours. Tourism may be international, or within the traveller’s country. The World Tourism Organization defines tourism more generally, in terms which go “beyond the common perception of tourism as being limited to holiday activity only”, as people “traveling to and staying in places outside their usual environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and other purposes”.
Tourism can be domestic or international, and international tourism has both incoming and outgoing implications on a country’s balance of payments. Today, tourism is a major source of income for many countries, and affects the economy of both the source and host countries, in some cases being of vital importance.

Hiking
Hiking is the preferred term, in Canada and the United States, for a long, vigorous walk, usually on trails (footpaths), in the countryside, while the word walking is used for shorter, particularly urban walks. On the other hand, in the United Kingdom, and the Republic of Ireland, the word “walking” is acceptable to describe all forms of walking, whether it is a walk in the park or backpacking in the Alps. The word hiking is also often used in the UK, along with rambling (a slightly old-fashioned term), hillwalking, and fell walking (a term mostly used for hillwalking in northern England). The term bushwalking is endemic to Australia, having been adopted by the Sydney Bush Walkers club in 1927. In New Zealand a long, vigorous walk or hike is called tramping.It is a popular activity with numerous hiking organizations worldwide, and studies suggest that all forms of walking have health benefits.
In the United States, Canada, the Republic of Ireland, and United Kingdom, hiking means walking outdoors on a trail, or off trail, for recreational purposes. A day hike refers to a hike that can be completed in a single day. However, in the United Kingdom, the word walking is also used, as well as rambling, while walking in mountainous areas is called hillwalking. In Northern England, Including the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales, fellwalking describes hill or mountain walks, as fell is the common word for both features there.
