It is easier now than ever before for people to travel for pleasure. Most employees are given time off from work so they can go on vacation. They may also receive wages to cover the time they are away. Companies involved in tourism have made it easy for people to book a break by creating package vacations. Modern communication systems, especially the Internet, have made it simple for people to research and book their vacations. Transportation systems are also more advanced now than at any time in the past. People can fly, drive, or take a train or boat to destinations all around the world.
