Tourists are who? September 27 - World Tourism Day

Who are tourists? What kind of army of people who do not know peace? Tourists are people traveling to study new places in their spare time. Travel can be health, business, cognitive or any other nature. But the first goal pursued by tourists is recreation and entertainment.

There are as many types of tourists as there are varieties of tourism, for example:

• Tourists are skiers who are trying to conquer new peaks.
• Recreational tourists - they are engaged in their recovery and recovery of physical strength.
• Tourists looking for extreme and unusual adventures, such as feeding alligators in Thailand or safari tours around Africa.
• Tourists are pilgrims, their goal is sacred places, monasteries, ancient churches.
• Tourists - "sailors" - yachts, ships, cruise liners are their way of entertainment.

Types of tourism can be listed endlessly. Tourists are people who are constantly looking for new sensations and hungry for knowledge.

But there are especially noteworthy types of tourism, and they should be talked about separately.

On the river

Water tourism means walking on rivers on small boats, such as kayaks, canoes, kayaks and rafts. Water tourists choose different routes. For some, it's better to raft on calm rivers, not hurrying anywhere and enjoying the sun, water and furniture. As a rule, family tourists prefer peaceful water tourism, that is, those who go to rafting with the whole family. Such trips are very good if there are young children. Parents can rest quietly, and the kids have fun without a risk to their health.

Water tourism: how it happens

To the measured water tourism can be attributed rafting. "Raft" is translated as "raft". At present, large inflatable boats of stable construction or inflatable catamarans are used for rafting .

But basically water tourism is an extreme. Those who are looking for thrill, choose alloys on rough rivers. The main attributes are kayaks, kayaks and canoes. All of them have a long narrow form and can accommodate from one to three people. And it's no accident: this design easily goes along the river, it is maneuverable, which makes it possible to bypass all obstacles that are sometimes very dangerous.

Also, to water tourism can be attributed many other sports. For example, windsurfing, diving, kiting and water skiing. All of them are difficult, and you can not do without a good skill. If the tourist is not a professional, but very much wants to experience a new sport, he needs to hire an experienced instructor. Independent experiments are extremely undesirable for health and life.

But in any case, water tourism is a very exciting sport that gives a lot of new sensations and an opportunity to relax.

Adventure tourism

This is the perfect way to relax for everyone. Even if a person thinks that he does not like adventure, and to rest him enough of the beach and rooms in the hotel, he clearly does not know how wide the boundaries of tourism. The whole range of travel is multifaceted. Tourist-traveler can find an adventure in the soul in any part of the globe, the main thing - that it was unusual, exotic and environmentally friendly.

Types of adventure tourism

It can be divided into two types: sports and travel. To sport tourism are all unusual and extreme sports. For example, mountainous, it includes skiing from mountain heights, rock climbing and mountaineering. Or no less fascinating delta and paragliding, walking on ropeways, located tens of meters above the ground.

Traveling tourism is the most popular, as not everyone loves sports, but everyone wants unusual adventures.

Jumping, or off-road driving in jeeps. This entertainment can be found absolutely in any resort. Jeep is a cross-country car, and it is possible to get there to any local landmark, the path to which is quite bumpy. Travel by jeep is very different from bus tours. In such a car there will be no stuffiness and inconvenience, riding on it is a pleasure, it is possible to breathe fresh air and observe the surrounding nature.

Safari tours are the most vivid kind of adventure. Its essence is that travelers travel through the steppes of Africa in search of wild predators. Tourists are given the opportunity to plunge into the nature of the savannah, look at lions and rhinos directly in their habitat. The tour is accompanied by an experienced guide who owns all necessary equipment, including weapons. Traveling in the savannah is not the easiest, it requires endurance both physical and psychological.

Sport and health tourism

This is a kind of sport, which develops endurance and improves health. Designed for all ages without exception. It differs by types: water, mountain, ski, foot, bicycle and combined. As a rule, it is based on the passage of the route. For example, climbing a mountain, hiking in the forest, walking a distance on a bicycle and all the like. The goal of tourists is to improve their sports skills, develop endurance, physical strength and in parallel improve their health. Such cardio-operations positively affect the cardiovascular system and strengthen the heart muscle. All activities take place outdoors, in the open air, thanks to this the body can be saturated with oxygen and cleanse the lungs.

Types of sports and health tourism

It is divided into organized and independent. Organized tourism involves holding an event with an experienced instructor from a tourism organization. For example, not everyone can independently go on an alloy or go mountaineering. Organizations offer their services, instructors, provide the necessary attributes and guarantee the safety of people.

Independent tourism is a journey "savage", i.e. without instructors and tour operators. For example, forest trekking. The family can collect all the necessities (sleeping bags, tents, provisions, etc.) and go on a route through the forest. This kind of rest is good, when tourists understand the area and can take care of themselves. Otherwise, it can become a threat to their health.

Day of tourists

Day of the tourist is an international holiday. All over the world it is celebrated on September 27. The date falls on the day of the end of the tourist season in the northern hemisphere and its beginning in the southern hemisphere. The holiday was established by the General Assembly of the World Tourism Organization, or UNWTO, in 1979. In Russia, began to celebrate the Day of tourists since 1983. And now, for 33 years, on September 27, our tourists celebrate this significant date - Day of the tourist.

What can I say, summing up? Tourists are not just a kind of activity, it's a way of life. Tourism is different: for children, for adults, for the elderly. But it is necessarily interesting to everyone, as it gives a lot of new sensations, emotions, health and just pleasure.
