La plupart des éditeurs de
guides touristiques amorce en ce moment un virage vers les supports électroniques en ligne, tout en n'abandonnant pas le papier qui a pour lui d'être itinérant, quoique pesant, et qui présente de plus l'inconvénient majeur d'être obsolète quasiment dès sa parution, notamment pour les renseignements pratiques.
Le guide sur support électronique, notamment en ligne, a pour lui d'être mis à jour instantanément. Il est particulièrement adapté à un public de niche, qui prépare activement son voyage, qui recherche des informations fiables et qui dispose d'outils informatiques et télématiques. L'édition de guides touristiques s'intéresse de plus en plus aux nouveaux supports, notamment mobiles.
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 2006, there were over 842 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.
