===Tourism===
In terms of tourism, the possibilities range from guided [[walking tours]] in cities, to organized [[trekking]] holidays in the [[Himalayas]]. In the UK the term walking tour also refers to a multi-day walk or hike undertaken by a group or individual. Well-organized systems of trails exist in many other European counties, as well as Canada, United States, New Zealand, and [[Nepal]]. Systems of lengthy [[waymark]]ed walking trails now stretch across Europe from Norway to [[Turkey]], Portugal to [[Cyprus]].<ref>See [[European long-distance paths]]</ref> Many also walk the traditional [[Pilgrimage|pilgrim routes]], of which the most famous is El Camino de [[Santiago]], The [[Way of St. James]].

Numerous walking festivals and other walking events take place each year in many countries. The world's largest multi-day walking event is the [[International Four Days Marches Nijmegen]] in the [[Netherlands]]. The "Vierdaagse" (Dutch for "Four day Event") is an annual walk that has taken place since 1909; it has been based at [[Nijmegen]] since 1916. Depending on age group and category, walkers have to walk 30, 40 or 50 kilometers each day for four days.{{citation needed|date=July 2015}} Originally a military event with a few civilians, it now is a mainly civilian event. Numbers have risen in recent years, with over 40,000 now taking part, including about 5,000 military personnel.{{citation needed|date=July 2015}} Due to crowds on the route, since 2004 the organizers have limited the number of participants. In the U.S., there is the annual [[Labor Day]] walk on [[Mackinac Bridge]], [[Michigan]], which draws over 60,000 participants; it is the largest single-day walking event;{{citation needed|date=July 2015}} while the [[Chesapeake Bay Bridge]] Walk in [[Maryland]] draws over 50,000 participants each year.{{citation needed|date=July 2015}} There are also various walks organised as [[Charitable organisation|charity]] events, with walkers sponsored for a specific cause. These walks range in length from two miles (3&nbsp;km) or five km to 50 miles (80&nbsp;km). The [[MS Challenge Walk]] is an 80&nbsp;km or 50-mile walk which raises money to fight [[multiple sclerosis]], while walkers in the Oxfam Trailwalker cover 100&nbsp;km or 60 miles.
