Reading: New kinds of tourism

Would you do it if you had the chance?

People are travelling more than ever before. The World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) predicts that by 2020 the number of international travelers will be more than 1.6 billion people per year. The increase in the number of tourists also means an increase in the kinds of tourism now available. Here are different kinds of tourism that have appeared recently.

Medical tourism

Medical tourism can be for a variety of things, from operations to visits to the dentist or even cosmetic surgery. This kind of tourism involves going to a different country for health care and at the same time enjoying more typical tourist destinations. A few of the popular countries offering medical tourism are India, Cuba, Thailand, Argentina and Jordan. In Kenya they even offer medical safaris.

Culinary tourism

Nearly all tourists eat in restaurants, and dining is one of the top three tourist activities. But if you were in a country famous for its food, would you learn how to cook it? Welcome to the more extreme form of culinary tourism, where people go to another country to learn how to prepare its food. Cooking holidays are growing in popularity, especially in countries like Italy and France.

Disaster tourism

Disaster tourism involves visiting the site of a disaster. Examples include tours to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, to parts of Thailand after the tsunami or tourist visits to ground zero in New York. This kind of tourism is not very popular with local residents for obvious reasons.

Literary tourism

Another growing area of tourism is literary tourism. This is a kind of cultural tourism and there are several types. It can be connected to the life of an author, for example visiting the author’s home or favourite places, or connected to the lives of characters in a story. It can also be a visit to a place where a film was made. New Zealand has benefited from this kind of tourism since the film The Lord of the Rings was made there.
