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".

A ski resort is a resort developed for skiing, snowboarding, and other winter sports.

In Europe, most ski resorts are towns or villages in or adjacent to a ski area – a mountainous area with pistes, ski trails and a ski lift system.

In North America, it is more common for ski areas to exist well away from towns, so ski resorts usually are destination resorts, often purpose-built and self-contained, where skiing is the main activity.

A camshaft is a shaft to which a cam is fastened or of which a cam forms an integral part.

History.

An early cam was built into Hellenistic water-driven automata from the 3rd century BC.

The camshaft was later described in Turkey (Diyarbakır) by Al-Jazari in 1206.

He employed it as part of his automata, water-raising machines, and water clocks such as the castle clock.

The cam and camshaft later appeared in European mechanisms from at least the 14th century, or possibly earlier.

A resort (North American English) is a self-contained commercial establishment that endeavors to provide most of a vacationer's wants, such as food, drink, lodging, sports, entertainment, and shopping, on the premises.

The term resort may be used for a hotel property that provides an array of amenities, typically including entertainment and recreational activities.

A hotel is frequently a central feature of a resort, such as the Grand Hotel at Mackinac Island, Michigan.

Some resorts are also timeshare or fractionally owned, or wholly owned condominium complexes.

A resort is not always a commercial establishment operated by a single company, although in the late twentieth century this sort of facility became more common.

A tourist attraction is a place of interest where tourists visit, typically for its inherent or exhibited natural or cultural value, historical significance, natural or built beauty, offering leisure, adventure and amusement.
