There is an incredibly huge list of types of recreation, each of which is able to give an unforgettable experience, excellent relaxation and memories that will last a lifetime. The concept and types of recreation include many varieties of tourism, each of which will be as interesting as it allows a person going on vacation.
Popular types of tourism
There are several goals that tourism must meet, the main of which are considered recreational, entertaining and educational. Often tourism is health and medical, guest and professional business, as well as taking time off (weekend tourism).
The most popular is a bicycle type of recreation, which can have several varieties: short walks, short excursions or difficult trips. In order for the rest on bicycles to succeed, you should carefully plan the route, lay it through a variety of places - picturesque plains and country roads, mountain passes of varying difficulty and unlimited plateaus. Depending on what terrain the trip will take, special-purpose bikes should be selected.
The main types of tourism include such an original form of recreation as water tourism. Traveling by water can be carried out with the help of kayaks, catamarans, boats and other swimming facilities of different sizes and displacement. This type of tourism requires careful preparation of special equipment, not only boats and oars, but also thermal underwear, durable clothing, waterproof shoes, tools and provisions.
Mountain tourism is quite complicated and designed for experienced travelers. In general, all types of tourism, potentially unsafe and complex, should not be conducted by beginners without the supervision of experienced mentors. Such outdoor activities require the obligatory use of complex equipment - ice axes, hooks (rock and ice), special shoes, as well as a system of ropes and carbines. Mountaineering is walking over mountainous terrain or passing rocky sections, moving along steep slopes, mountain rivers or glaciers.
Ski tourism is a therapeutic or recreational type of recreation. Its goal is to make an active sports trip along certain ski routes located on the plains and foothills. Such a vacation, like all others, must be carefully prepared, and for skiers - the necessary equipment is selected. Skiing is very popular among many tourists, as this is a fun and useful pastime, fully combining pleasant with useful.
There are some unusual types of tourism that are performed exclusively by certain categories of people. Such types of recreation, for example, include historical - ethnographic, museum or archaeological, as well as pilgrimage tourism, designed for believers of different faiths.
Hiking is most often carried out on routes laid in the foothills or on the plains. Many tourists like this type of wellness holiday, largely because it does not require too complicated equipment or long preparation, and can be carried out in any attractive, pleasant for walking area.
Adventure tourism is incredibly interesting - a well-organized trip to some natural reservation or an exotic place where you can arrange an excellent vacation with hiking expeditions, round-the-world swimming or hunting or fishing.
And finally, not the most popular, but extremely exciting pastime can be ecological tourism, that is, a tour of places with ecologically clean nature, untouched civilization and human hands, in which you can still find the cultural and historical heritage of the indigenous people.
