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
participate in such an activity.
