              Brand New Types of Vacation
              Changing lifestyles of the 21  century are changing people’s understanding of a holiday. People used to dream
                                     st
              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
