The World Tourism Organization is in charge of following travels around the globe.  According to the WTO, a tourist is simply someone staying outside of their usual location for a period of more than 24 hours. Boundaries between countries are becoming easier to travel through. Certain countries, like France (France vacation rentals) and Spain (Spain vacation rentals) , are the main beneficiaries as their cultures are very appealing to visitors.
