Introduction

In the stringent conditions of the modern world, with respect to the sustainability and survival, a common human sole tends to seek the refuge in the arms of the lax suitable moments of leisure and pleasure, which the ever green tourism industry renders to the quester of relaxation and quality leisure time. Bearing in mind the prime connotations that are attribute to the aspects of tourism and its underlying notions, this assignment will sought to renders some pivotal insight to the naive yet cognitive mind.

Q1

Commodification

Is a close assimilation is opted to be acquired of the term presented; it can be understood that the basic definition would entail the aspect of transformation of some object, into something productive.
