The history of tourism
Tourism as a specific form of action arose relatively recently, but its roots go back to ancient times. Stage of professional travel and high-end tourism. Since ancient times, many people go on a journey to the world of knowledge and discovery of new territories, with trade, diplomatic, military, religious and other missions. All these travelers were in need of certain services by the local population in terms of accommodation, food, etc. Historically, the first enterprises of the tourism industry became a tavern, which enjoyed a dubious reputation of brothels.

The pilgrims coming to Rome for the celebration in 1300. In ancient times, were the main motives for travel trade, education, pilgrimage, treatment. In ancient Greece, born and sports trips (Olympic Games). The development of trade led to massive construction of roads, inns, taverns. Some of the inns on luxuries were not different from the houses of rich people. The Roman aristocracy was actively involved in recreational travel - on their villas to the sea, to the mountains. In the east, in ancient times, traveling by camel caravans. We spent the night in tents or in the caravanserai (inn with a shelter for animals). The service level was much higher than in Europe because of more active trading. In the Middle Ages of travel has increased the religious factor - a huge mass of people rushed to the Christian and Muslim holy sites. Only the Renaissance weakened religious motifs and strengthened individual character and educational orientation trips. Young people often went on tour in Europe before taking up a profession. European society rested on resorts in Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Greece and Italy.

Stage mass tourism
This stage is characterized by: the emergence of specialized enterprises for the production of tourism services (XIX century), as well as the formation of social and mass tourism (up to the Second World War) and the rapid development of the tourism industry and assembly-line mass tourism (up to 80 years of XX century).

The emergence of mass tourism contributed to the development of the industry, and as a consequence - the distinction of free time, the emergence of paid leave. In addition, the revolutionary development of transport - the appearance of the steamer, steam engine, the expansion of the road network has also played an important role. The first upscale hotel appeared in Germany and Switzerland in the early XIX century, during the second half of the century - are a travel agent who organized travel packages, and settle them to the consumer. In the first half of the XX century in Germany and the USSR fueled by mass recreation, sports tourism and military applications sports. After the economic downturn associated with the Second World War, a new stage. With 50-60-ies of XX century began active development of tourism companies, large-scale construction of hotels and various entertainment facilities. European tourism has been focused on the reception of American tourists, and from the 1970s, there has been growth and outbound tourism. Since the 1980s, the growth rate has slowed tourism and mass tourism has transformed into a differentiated. Tourism is becoming a way of life, a growing trend to expand the range of services, the emergence of new recreation facilities. Private tours are becoming popular, eco and sports tourism.

Tourism in the USSR
In the USSR, and a network of union medical and spa facilities, a children's seasonal and sports tourism. Outbound tourism from the USSR was furnished with numerous hurdles and is only a narrow group of people. Travelling abroad families were excluded. [2] In addition, the Soviet Union along the span of Tourism has held a leading position in the world. In 1959 he published a series of postage stamps of the USSR on tourism:

Recreational Resources
Since the recreational resources are distributed very unevenly in the world, a growing number of people on a journey with recreational purposes and motives. These recreational trips (medical, health, educational, sports) became the basis for the development of recreational tourism. Recreational aspects are always present in the types of business tourism (business tourism, conference tourism, shopping tourism). The implementation of tourist business in a market can be carried out in the presence of four major components: capital, technology, human resources, recreational resources. This means that, having enough capital to purchase frames, technology and engage in tourism. To do this, choose a place where there are recreational resources, and if no such place, then create it. This is one of the specific features of tourism business in the marketplace. Since the fourth component - the recreational resources - is the least expensive, in general it determines the high profitability of the tourist business. If tourism is associated with the creation of the tourist resource, the cost of the tourist product increases dramatically.

Under the recreational resources understand - a set of natural and artificial man-made objects that are suitable for the creation of the tourism product. Typically, recreational resources determine the formation of tourism in a region. These resources have the following main characteristics: attractiveness (attractiveness), climatic conditions, availability, level of knowledge, sightseeing importance of socio-demographic characteristics, potential reserves, the method of use, etc., these resources are used for recreation, tourism, sport and educational purposes. Recreational resources can be subdivided into natural and socio-economic (social and cultural). Natural tourism resources are classified: by belonging to certain components of the natural environment (climate, water, forest, etc.). in functions (health, cognitive). by issyakaemosti (to dry up: the objects of hunting, fishing and inexhaustible: the sun, the sea water). on sustainability (renewables: plants, animals and non-renewable: mud, monuments of culture). Socio-economic resources include: cultural and historical objects (monuments and memorials, museums, architectural ensembles). cultural-historical phenomena (ethnographic, religious). economic (financial, infrastructure, labor). Despite its social and humane role tourism alters the environment. Reduced damage the tourism industry is regulated environment at national and international levels through environmental education, tax regulations, restrictions tourist and recreational pressures on natural resources, etc. Thus, recreational resources are considered as one of the factors in the development of tourism and the basis for production planning tourism product.

The tourism industry (tourism industry)
Tourism Industry - Diversified industrial complex engaged in the reproduction of the conditions for travel and leisure, that is, the production of tourism product. Is one of the most important industries in the world, and for some developing countries - the main economic sector (Cyprus, Malaysia, Thailand, etc.). However, definirovanie the tourism industry as a complex of industrial enterprises and the non-production sector, providing tourism services and goods-producing tourism demand is a result of a sectoral approach. Therefore it is necessary to take into account that the tourism industry is not only a combination of the above companies, but is a form of development of the territory. [4] Typical subjects of the tourism industry (tourism industry in the narrow sense): Lodging companies (resorts, inns, hotels, apartments, campsites, etc.) transport companies, travel agencies (tour operators, travel agencies, tour desk and guides) Signage tourist agencies (advertising agencies, advertising agencies, news agencies) associations and government bodies to regulate the development of tourism (tourism committees and departments, public tourism organizations and associations). Atypical agents travel industry (tourism industry in the broad sense) in the production - companies that produce souvenirs, sporting goods, leisure goods, clothing, recreation and tourism, literature on tourism, engineering products, merchandise, and in the service sector - enterprises engaged in the organization of entertainment congresses, exhibitions and fairs, catering, services, baths and saunas, cultural and educational activities, coaching services, medical services, credit services, insurance services, the issuance of visas.

Economic factors of tourism development
In place of the industrial era, in which the core value was material well-being, comes the post-industrial era, where the main aim is the look and feel. Important factors that influence the development of tourism began to develop transportation, communication, increasing mobility, urbanization, reduction of working time, the growth of social wealth.

Under these conditions, socio-economic position of tourism quickly strengthened. Its share in world trade in services is more than 30%. The world market leader tourist product on a par with the oil. The annual growth of investment in the tourism industry is around 35%. Tourism has become one of the most lucrative businesses today use up to 7% of world capital. Annual income from international tourism in 1995 was estimated at 373 billion dollars when it was committed 567 million international trips. Tourism employs 137 million people. The rapid strengthening of financial and economic position of the tourism industry has led to the fact that in many countries, tourism has become an important factor for regional development. Bodies of territorial control different hierarchical levels, from counties and districts to the federal government, concerned about the development of tourism and localities with valuable recreational resources. Tourism is seen as a catalyst for the regional economy, not only allows the use of the full range of recreational resources, but also the most efficient use of aggregate production and socio-cultural potential of the area while maintaining the ecological and cultural diversity. On this basis, the government initiated a strategy of tourist activity, together with the business - the development of tourist infrastructure, the creation of national parks and recreational areas, investment and growth in the number of visits to the region. According to the World Tourism Organization, in 2007 the number of international tourist arrivals only amounted to about 900 million (2004 - 766 million). In 2005, Europe had 444 million arrivals to the Asia-Pacific region - 156 million in North and South America - 133 million, to other regions - 75 million Tourism product finally turned into an economic category only in terms of mass tourism. The intensity of tourism - a figure which gives an idea of ??what part of the country's population (percent) annually makes at least one trip. When the intensity of tourism is above 50%, we can say that in this country, tourism is massive. Touring the country's balance - the ratio between the value of goods and services sold to foreigners in the country, and the cost of goods and services sold to the citizens of this country abroad. If the balance of the tourism balance is positive, then we say that the economy of the country's tourism active (Thailand, Switzerland), if negative - passive (Germany, Russia).

From an economic point of view, the attractiveness of tourism as an integral part of the services - in a more rapid return on investment and generating income in a freely convertible currency. Tourist business stimulates the development of other economic sectors: construction, trade, agriculture, consumer goods, telecommunications, etc. This business attracts entrepreneurs for many reasons: the small initial investment, the growing demand for tourist services, a high level of profitability and minimum cost recovery. In the tourism industry dynamics of growth in services leads to an increase in the number of jobs is much faster than in other industries. The time period between the growth in demand for tourist services and new jobs in the tourism business is minimal. Tourism in addition to the huge economic value plays an important role in expanding the boundaries of understanding and trust between people of different religions and cultures. Its activities are not limited to trade in goods and services and find new trading partners. She also directed the establishment of relations between the citizens of different countries for the preservation and prosperity of the world. The task of the development of tourism requires the solution of the set of related tasks, such as the development of the transport system, the development of the catering, improving the image of the development of information infrastructure.

The largest generating market for the countries of the region are the African countries themselves, giving up to 50% of all tourists.
