Tourism is travel for pleasure, and the commercial activity of providing and supporting such travel. UN Tourism defines tourism more generally as people "staying in places outside their usual environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure and not less than 24 hours, business and other purposes". Tourism can be domestic or international. Global tourism has both incoming and outgoing implications on a country's balance of payments. Between the second half of 2008 and the end of 2009, tourism numbers declined due to a severe economic slowdown (see Great Recession) and the outbreak of the 2009 H1N1 influenza virus.

The economy of Argentina is the second-largest in South America, behind Brazil. The United Nations' Human Development Index ranks Argentina "very high," reflecting a literate population, export-oriented agriculture, and diversified industry.

The economy has rich natural resources; however, its performance has been volatile—growth spurts alternate with recessions—especially since the late 20th century, driving income inequality and poverty. Early in the 20th century, Argentina's per capita GDP ranked among the top 10 globally, at par with Canada and Australia and ahead of France and Ital…

Birth tourism is the practice of traveling to another country or city for the purpose of giving birth in that country. The main reason for birth tourism is to obtain citizenship for the child in a country with birthright citizenship (jus soli). Such a child is sometimes called an "anchor baby" if their citizenship is intended to help their parents obtain permanent residency in the country. Other reasons for birth tourism other than future sponsorship for the parents include the ability to enroll the child in the host country's public schooling system, access to better healthcare for the birth parent or child, and to hedge against corruption and political instability in the parents’ home cou…

The first annotated checklist of the bees of Colombia reveals an overlooked diversity and areas with major data deficiencies.. Most existing knowledge about bee biodiversity comes from temperate regions, where diversity is presumed highest-yet substantial data gaps across the tropics confound this pattern. Checklists are critical for documenting species presence, identifying knowledge gaps, and guiding conservation. We present the first comprehensive bee checklist for Colombia, a country in tropical northern South America that serves as a key biogeographic bridge between Central and South America. We hypothesize that Colombia's complex topography, its position at the intersection of multipl…

Sex tourism is the practice of traveling to foreign countries, often in the Global South, with the intention of engaging in paid sexual activity or relationships. The World Tourism Organization of the United Nations has acknowledged that this industry is organized both within and outside the structured laws and networks created by them. Sex tourism is commonly regarded as a transnational challenge, as it can be seen to target marginalised demographics in developing nations, such as countries in the Americas or Southeast Asia. The chief ethical concerns arise from: the economic gap between sex solicitor and sex worker, the sexual trafficking of victims, potential exploitation of minors, and…
