Tourist attractions are places of interest that attract visitors due to their beauty, historical, cultural, natural, or recreational significance. They include historical monuments, natural wonders, architectural buildings, cultural sites, recreational parks, and religious locations. These attractions generate income, promote cultural preservation, offer educational opportunities, facilitate social interaction, and encourage environmental conservation. Famous examples include the Statue of Liberty, the Great Wall of China, and the Christ the Redeemer statue.
