Humorists uncovered cracks through which you might see the world? (7)

I believe the answer is:

tourism

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'which you might see the world?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'humorists uncovered cracks' is the wordplay.
'uncovered' indicates the central letters.
'cracks' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'cracked' mean this).
The middle letters of 'humorists' are 'umorist'.
'umorist' is an anagram of 'TOURISM'.

'through' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tourism that I've seen before include "Travel for pleasure" , "Organisation of holidays" , "leave business?" , "travelling of people" , "going places" .)
