The Many Faces of Tourism

Sunday, June 15, 2014

People travel to Chile to swim in the largest swimming pool in the world, or to Mexico to see the remnants of an advanced civilization. In fact, everyone has a hundred different reasons to go out and see the world, and the travel and tourism industries continue to remain strong contributors to world economies.

The services of travel agents are vital to these industries, as they facilitate travel processes for their clients, and make them aware of the myriad adventures and experiences the world has to offer, such as those listed below.
Leisure Tourism
Leisure tourism is probably the most common type of tourism since activities can vary widely. Riding an exotic vehicle, fishing, or simply enjoying the sights and sounds of a place can fall under leisure tourism.

Cultural Tourism
Getting to know more about a foreign country involves mingling with the locals and participating in their festivals and customs, a key element of cultural tourism. Experts say it's the most popular form of tourism right now.

Ecotourism
A rapidly-growing form of tourism, ecotourism focuses on appreciating the wonders of Mother Nature in a location that is considered raw and untouched by urban elements. Eco-tours are designed to allow participants to enjoy the beauty of nature, while they learn about the conservation and preservation of natural resources.

Wellness Tourism
Also a fast-growing tourism sector, wellness tourism involves traveling to relaxing destinations, usually spas in nature enclosed areas, where they can meditate and get pampered with exotic massages for rejuvenation.
