A Guide to Hospitality and Tourism Law in Canada 1 Definition of Tourism The United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) created a common glossary of terms for tourism. It defines tourism as follows: Tourism is a social, cultural and economic phenomenon which entails the movement of people to countries or places outside their usual environment for personal or business/professional purposes. These people are called visitors (which may be either tourists or excursionists; residents or non-residents) and tourism has to do with their activities, some of which imply tourism expenditure (United Nations World Tourism Organization, 2008).

A Guide to Hospitality and Tourism Law in Canada 6 Classes of Tourists The United Nations World Tourism Organization (1995) helps us break down this definition further by stating tourists can be: Domestic (residents of a given country travelling only within that country) Inbound (non-residents travelling in a given country) Outbound (residents of one country travelling in another country) Copyright © 2021 Emond Montgomery Publications. All rights reserved. A Guide to Hospitality and Tourism Law in Canada 7 The legislative/regulatory structure for food (which includes drinks) is a hierarchial structure in the form of an inverted triangle, resting on its apex. At the top is the Federal Legislation which include the Food and Drug Act (FDA) and the Safe Food for Canadians Act (SFCA) and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency Act (CFIAA).
