Tourist city

 ( Tourism Geography ) 

A tourist city is a place where the economy is mainly run by the tourism industry, and a large part of the city consists of areas dedicated to visitors.

Some cities, such as New York City, Singapore, and London are not exclusively tourist cities, but do have tourist districts and are well known for their reputation as having a lot of international tourists.

A tourist city differs from a regular city in the sense that it is trying to appeal to everyone who is not native to that area. This causes there to be a lot of advertising and attractions to try to draw people to the city.

To regulate tourism, tourist cities also establish regions designed specifically for visitors on vacation. One example of this would be Cancún and its isolated Hotel Zone.
