TYPES OF TOURISM



Today people are crazy about travelling. There are many different types of tourism and some of them are very strange. For example, 

Luxury tourism goes beyond staying in the top suite of hotels. It is about seeking the rare experiences on our planet.
Private tourism is traveling on your own with your own guide and vehicle or transportation. Much of today’s type of travel are “repackaged trips” or cookie cutter in essence and style. We believe that the spontaneity allowed by private travel maximizes your experience since you are on your own clock and not one driven by a large group. You can start and stop at your liking. You can stop and view the penguins and not be pressured to follow others

Сultural  tourism is concerned with a country or region's culture, especially its arts. It generally focuses on traditional communities who have diverse customs, unique form of art and distinct social practices, which basically distinguishes it from other types/forms of culture. Cultural tourism mainly includes tourism in urban areas, particularly historic or large cities and their cultural facilities such as museums and theatres. However, it can also include tourism in rural areas showcasing the traditions of indigenous cultural communities (i.e. festivals, rituals), and their values and lifestyle.
Event tourism  is a type o tourism when a particular event, eg. the Olympics in London is "sold" to tourists. It seeks to maximize the tourist numbers by advertising and online promotions, and capitalize on the event by organizing and matching the various tours, transport needs, hotel reservations and tickets to events as much as possible so it is easy for tourists to pick the sort of options they want.
What other types of tourism do you know and which one do you prefer?

  2. I know ethno tourism, voluntourism, wildlife tourism, space tourism. As for me, I prefer pop-culture tourism. This kind of tourism is pretty much exactly what it sounds like - going to visit locations featured in film, books, music, TV. And it appeals to many different types of tourists.

  4. Tourism is defined as the act of travel with the intentions of recreational pleasure. There are different types of tourism that can be enjoyed. Description and development of extreme tourism, cultural tourism, educational tourism, ecological tourism. As for me, I prefer educational tourism.Educational tourism involves gaining new knowledge and technical competency outside the classroom environment. The main focus of educational tourism includes travelling to another country to learn about the culture of the visited nations. A good example of this is the exchange student programme and work and travel programme. Travelling to another country to work and apply learning skills inside the classroom in different environment, such as the International Placement & Training Program, can also be considered as educational tourism.
