Abstract: A review of literature suggests that research in the area of youth, especially youth tourism, is not well developed and has mostly been ignored in the past. It is only in the recent times that the interest of the world has started to shift towards this segment of tourists because of their considerable increase in number and their global significance in the tourism industry in terms of their economic contribution. However, problems arise while trying to correctly identify the segment as there has been a wide range of definitions for youth as well as youth tourists in different literature. Various governmental and non-governmental organizations in the world have defined the concept differently to serve their purposes. Thus, this paper is an attempt to shed some light on the concept of youth and youth tourism by reviewing some relevant literature in the subject area.
Keywords: Youth, Youth Tourism, World Tourism Organisation, Independent Trips.
