Axiology is a very important aspect of science. Tourism science clearly provides benefits for the welfare of mankind. Travel and movement of tourists is one of the basic human activities to fulfill their various needs, either in the form of experience, enlightenment, physical and psychological refreshment or in the form of self-actualization. It is in this context that it is understandable why the United Nations (UN) affirms tourism activities as a human right. |
