Question

With the steady increase in the amount of leisure time that people enjoy today,the importance of businesses that deal with leisure products and services is also steadily
increasing.Among them,tourist industry is one of the biggest industries of this kind.Providing transportation and accommodations for tourists — and guides,brochures,
souvenirs — is one of the major industries in many countries.Since people are now having longer vacations and are more and more interested in seeing other parts of the
world,this business will no doubt continue to grow.
Another industry obviously devoted to leisure is entertainment.Movies,TV shows,concerts and plays are usually intended for our leisure.The same can be said of most
books,except textbooks.Professional sports make money because people pay to watch them in their free time.This list could be greatly extended.But even among these
industries,we have mentioned only part of the picture.The people who make the TV sets and build the theatres and tourist hotels are as much a part of the leisure industry
as the singers or the hotel clerks.
