Question No. 1
1 pointsWhich one of the following is a tertiary activity?
CorrectANSWER- Trading
Tourism is travel undertaken for purposes of recreation rather than business. It has become the world’s single largest tertiary activity in total registered jobs (250 million) and total revenue (40 percent of the total GDP). Besides, many local persons, are employed to provide services like accommodation, meals, transport, entertainment and speciality shops serving the tourists. Tourism fosters the growth of infrastructure industries, retail trading, and craft industries (souvenirs). In some regions, tourism is seasonal because the vacation period is dependent on favourable weather conditions, but many regions attract visitors all the year round.
