tourisms
- 1Plural of tourism.
Coastal and mountain tourisms generate very different seasonal patterns of employment.
Planners distinguish between mass and niche tourisms when forecasting regional growth.
Note
A plural that exists only because tourism is usually a mass noun. Neither the act of traveling nor the industry built on it is normally counted. The -s appears when the word turns countable and means kinds of tourism. It therefore travels with classifying adjectives such as mass and niche, or coastal and mountain. In everyday prose the singular is the safe choice, and the plural belongs to analysis that sorts tourism into types.
