The content and characteristics of Esther’s definition

The internationally accepted definition of Ester was developed in 1942 by Swiss scholars Hanwucker and Krapf. Tourism is the sum of phenomena and relationships arising from the travel and temporary stay of non-settlers who do not thereby reside permanently and who are not primarily engaged in money-making activities.

Technical statistical definition recommended by the World Tourism Organization and the United Nations Statistical Commission: Tourism refers to leaving their usual environment for leisure, business or other purposes, going to certain places and staying there, but not for more than one consecutive day year's activities. Travel purposes include six categories: leisure, entertainment, vacation, visiting relatives and friends, business and professional visits, health care, religion/pilgrimage, and others.

Characteristics: Aims to provide a theoretical framework for identifying the basic characteristics of tourism and distinguishing it from other similar, sometimes related, but not identical activities.

Extended information

International tourists were defined for the first time in 1936. During the intermission between the two world wars, world international tourism revenue grew rapidly, so there was an urgent need for statistics. A more precise definition. At an international forum held in 1936, the Statistical Expert Committee of the League of Nations proposed for the first time that "foreign tourists refer to people who leave their usual place of residence to travel to other countries for at least 24 hours."

In 1945, the United Nations (which replaced the original League of Nations) recognized this definition, but added the limitation of "the maximum stay shall not exceed 6 months."
