Types of tourism

As another sectors tourism also divided into different types and forms. People around the world make their tour for several reasons like as someone travel only for relaxation on the other hand someone travel for his/her necessity.

       According to the tourism experts we have a direction about types of tourism. During the first half of 20^th century Poser gave an idea about type of tourism in 1939 on the paper: “Der Fremdenverkehr

im Riesengebirge”. Where Poser distinguishes several types of tourism: tourism by transit, summer relaxation, winter sports, short distance relaxation.

After that Hunziker and Krampf gave another idea about tourism in 1941.They informed as:  travel for rest and treatment, pilgrimage, and scientific knowledge, etc.

But we have got a clear idea about tourism in 1965(Jülg, Ruppert) and in 1970(Maier). They all said that tourism has six types as: tourism of recreation, tourism of therapy, tourism of visitation, tourism of reduced distance relaxation, transit by tourism and professional tourism.

From above analysis we can conclude that tourism has following types

•     Relaxing tourism

•    Health care tourism

•  Visiting tourism

•  Transit tourism

• Reduced distance tourism

•  Professional tourism.
