Brand New Types of Vacation

Changing lifestyles of the 21st century are changing people’s understanding of a holiday. People used to dream of days with a lot of sleep and no activity. Therefore, they used to laze around all day at a warm, sunny holiday center. However, that’s not the expectation now. As most people live an immobile lifestyle, sitting in their offices as part of today’s urban life, they look forward to more things such as the sun, nice weather, culture, nature, activity, etc...’’ says Dr. Thomas Dixon of New York. As a result, there is more variety in today’s tourism. Here are some types of vacations for today’s vacationers.

Glamping: If you think traditional camping is exhausting, there is a new form of it. It is also called luxury camping and it even has all- inclusive forms as the word itself is a blending of glamour and camping. This new form of camping makes it possible to enjoy nature and outdoor activities in tents with 5- star comfort. You don’t have to cook but you may choose to cook for yourself.

Trekking&Hiking Vacations: If you like traveling on foot when you want to explore a place, this is for you. However, no one cooks for you. Professional teams help you make it happen. You can choose your destinations. Note that this is not for comfort-seekers.

All-Inclusive Hotels: Trends may change but for families with small kids and for comfort- seekers, this type of vacation has never lost its popularity. Swim, eat, sleep and have fun. Early reservations can get you discounts.

Cruise Vacations: If you are a sea- lover, this is for you. You can enjoy the smell of sea as much as possible while enjoying the traditional comfort and service of cruise ships. You may have to move around to explore various spots close to harbors in a limited amount of time.

Sports Tours: Tiredness from going somewhere to watch a match at a stadium and traveling back in a rush is a thing of the past. Travel agencies combine city tours and cultural tours with sports events services for fans and add to the joy. Obviously, you need more time to participate in such an activity.
