Definitions:
- Tourism activities:
In line with international recommendations, in this use of Social Security contributor data, tourism activities are considered to be those corresponding to the following branches of activity, according to CNAE 2009: 55 and 56 Hospitality, 491 Intercity rail passenger transport, 493 Other passenger land transport, 501 Maritime passenger transport, 503 Inland passenger water transport, 511 Passenger air transport, 522 Activities relating to transport, 791 Activities of travel agencies and tour operators, 7711 Car and light motor vehicle rental, 7734 Rental of water craft, 7735 Rental of aircraft, 7990 Other booking services and related activities, 900 Creative and artistic activities and performing arts, 910 Libraries, archives, museums and other cultural activities, 931 Sports activities, 932 Recreational and entertainment activities.
