Abstract
Social tourism is in some specific forms older than the tourist industry as we know it in the modern period of its development. In its modern form is a child of the modern industrial society. Many elements of the modern tourist development meant progress because of the strongly marked social component, and some areas have begun to develop markedly after a “social tourism” have been developed in them. The modern tourism and modern social tourism in some countries, particularly high-income countries harmoniously complement and contribute to the economies of their countries. On the other hand, as the dominant economic activity, help the social and personal development members of the social classes whose financial status is very sensitive, and sometimes even threatening.
