Conclusion

Tourism is a travel away from a person's usual place of residence for a period longer than twenty-four hours, primarily for pleasure or recreation, and frequently to multiple destinations.

Tourism statistics, however, usually include people traveling for business, health, religion, or to visit friends and relatives. The person traveling is a tourist. Thanks to its location, climate and geographical features Spain is the one of the most important world tourist centers.

There is a great variety of accommodation in Spain nowadays.

In my opinion, Spain is one of the most useful tourist destination. Indeed, the systems of accommodation, transportation, catering service are very highly developed in Spain. Therefore tourists want to visit this beautiful country.

I think that all problems of course paper were solved and aim was achieved.
