Architecture and tourism have a close relationship as architecture plays a major role in attracting tourists to various destinations. Many tourists are drawn to cities, towns, and countries that have unique and iconic architectural structures, such as the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Colosseum in Rome, and the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. The architecture of a place often becomes a defining feature of its culture and history and provides visitors with a glimpse into local aesthetics, traditions, and values. Moreover, architectural landmarks are often used as marketing tools to promote tourism and attract visitors to a specific destination. In addition to showcasing a destination's beauty, architecture also contributes to the overall experience of travelers, providing them with aesthetically pleasing accommodations, restaurants, and leisure facilities. Thus, architecture and tourism are interdependent, with the former serving as a major draw for the latter, and vice versa.
