What is an example of a leisure industry?

• A. Tourism
• B. Healthcare
• C. Agriculture
• D. Manufacturing

Answer: (B)

Leisure industry refers to sectors that provide experiences, services, and facilities for enjoyment and relaxation during free time. Tourism is a clear example because it revolves around people traveling or visiting places for pleasure, and it supports activities like sightseeing, staying in hotels, dining out, and taking part in recreational experiences. This creates a whole ecosystem of services—hotels, airlines, travel agencies, attractions, tour guides—that exist to enable leisure travel. The other options don’t fit as leisure industries: healthcare is about medical care and staying healthy; agriculture focuses on growing food; manufacturing is about producing goods. These are essential parts of the economy, but they aren’t driven by offering recreational experiences.
