Information About

Tourist Attraction




A tourist attraction is a place of interest where Tourist s visit. Some examples include historical places, Monument s, Zoo s, Museum s and Art Galleries , botanical gardens, buildings and structures (e.g., Castle s, Libraries , former Prison s, Skyscraper s, Bridge s), national Park s and Forest s, Theme Park s and Carnival s, Ethnic Enclave communities, historic trains and cultural events. Many tourist attractions are also Landmark s.

Tourist attractions are also created to capitalise on unexplained phenomena such as a supposed UFO crash site near Roswell, New Mexico and the alleged Loch Ness Monster sightings in Scotland . Ghost sightings also make tourist attractions.

Ethnic communities may become tourist attractions, such as Chinatown s in the United States and the black British neighborhood of Brixton in London .

In the US, owners and marketers of attractions advertise tourist attractions on billboards along the side of highways and roadways, especially in remote areas. Tourist attractions often provide free promotional brochures and flyers in information centres, fast food restaurants, Hotel and Motel rooms or lobbies, and Rest Area s.

While some tourist attractions provide visitors a memorable experience for a reasonable admission charge or even for free, others can have a tendency to be of low quality and to overprice their goods and services (such as admission, food, and souvenirs) in order to profit from tourists excessively. Such places are commonly known as Tourist Trap s.

Many tourist attractions have a higher concentration of Hotels and Motel s located nearby.
