Cultural influences on service

Services are intangible activities or benefits one party can offer to another; they do not result in the ownership of anything. Services are provided in every sector of the economy: retailing, wholesaling, transportation, telecommunication, finance, health, education, and many other sectors, including tourism, hospitality, and leisure. Tourists create demand for a wide range of services, such as transportation, communication, accommodation, catering, attractions, entertainment, and information.
