Tourism
Tourism is the activity of people traveling to and staying in places outside their usual environment for leisure, business, or other purposes for not more than one consecutive year.
More specifically, tourism can be defined as:
- The temporary movement of people to destinations outside their normal places of work and residence,
- The activities undertaken during their stay in those destinations, and
- The facilities created to cater to their needs.
Tourism can involve domestic travel (within the traveler's own country) or international travel.
Types of tourism include:
- Recreational Tourism: For leisure, relaxation, and enjoyment.
- Cultural Tourism: Exploring historical or cultural sites.
- Adventure Tourism: Involving physical activity and exploration of the outdoors.
- Medical Tourism: Traveling for medical procedures or treatments.
Tourism significantly impacts economies, environments, and societies, both positively and negatively.

No, a square matrix A is not invertible if its determinant |A| is equal to 0. A matrix is invertible (also known as non-singular or non-degenerate) if and only if its determinant is non-zero. If the determinant is zero, the matrix is singular and does not have an inverse.
Invertibility requires that the matrix represents a transformation that can be "undone." When the determinant is zero, it means the matrix collapses space (or at least reduces its dimension), making it impossible to reverse the transformation uniquely.
You can explore more about invertible matrices and their properties on websites such as:
