A photograph (often shortened to photo) is an image created by light falling on a
light-sensitive surface, usually photographic film or an electronic imager such as a CCD
or a CMOS chip. Most photographs are created using a camera, which uses a lens to focus
the scene's visible wavelengths of light into a reproduction of what the human eye would
see. The process of creating photographs is called photography.Motion pictures, such as
film or video, are generally considered to be sequences of photographs.
Digital photography, as opposed to film photography, uses electronic devices to record and
capture the image as binary data. This facilitates storage and editing of the images on
personal computers, and also the ability to show and delete unsuccessful images
immediately on the camera or software itself.
Digital cameras now outsell film cameras and include features that are not found in film
cameras such as the ability to shoot video and record audio. Some other devices, such as
mobile phones, now include digital photography features.
Tourism is travel for predominantly recreational or leisure purposes or the
provision of services to support this leisure travel. The World Tourism Organization
defines tourists as people who "travel to and stay in places outside their usual
environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and other
purposes not related to the exercise of an activity remunerated from within the place
visited". Tourism has become a popular global leisure activity. In 2004, there were
over 763 million international tourist arrivals.
Tourism is vital for many countries, due to the income generated by the consumption of
goods and services by tourists, the taxes levied on businesses in the tourism industry,
and the opportunity for employment in the service industries associated with tourism.
These service industries include transportation services such as cruise ships and taxis,
accommodation such as hotels, restaurants, bars, and entertainment venues, and other
hospitality industry services such as spas and resorts. |
