Culture refers to the learned behaviors, beliefs, values, and symbols that are shared by a group of people. It is transmitted from one generation to the next through enculturation as children learn the behaviors, customs, and social norms of their surrounding culture. Culture is all-encompassing, touching every aspect of people's lives from what and how they eat to sexual activities. It exists at various levels from national cultures shared by citizens of a nation to subcultures practiced by smaller groups within a larger culture. In the modern world, globalization is causing cultures to increasingly interact and influence each other through trade, communication, and travel.Bullet point 1

The package holiday market in the UK has experienced resurgence despite challenges to consumer confidence from events like terrorist attacks. Terrorism can swiftly impact tourism to destinations like Tunisia and Turkey, where visitor numbers dropped 25% and 10% respectively after attacks.

Beach holidays were the most popular type of last holiday abroad in July 2012 as they are easy to organize and accessible to many consumers, while spa/health breaks were the least popular due to being more expensive and targeted towards specific groups. Within the UK, cheap holidays were most popular compared to luxury and ski holidays. The popularity of different holiday types does not fluctuate greatly year-to-year but depends on the month likely due to school holidays, while luxury holiday bookings are less dependent on time of year possibly because luxury travelers typically do not have children.Major businesses and niche operators in the holiday
