TOURISM

Types and Forms of Tourism


A. Based on the point of origin
1. Domestic tourism happens when residents travel within their country of residence. This
is more difficult to measure than the other kind because there are rarely currency,
language, or visa implications.
2. International tourism involves travel outside the country of residence where currency,
language, and visa are to be considered.

B. Based on travel arrangements


1. An Inclusive Tour is a travel where several components like accommodation, fare,
food, and amenities are purchased together, and one price is paid.
2. Independent Travel is when needed components like accommodation, fare, food, and
amenities are purchased separately.
3. Tailor–made Travel is a combination of inclusive and independent travel, and the
Internet may be used for bookings and payments.

C. Based on the purpose of travel


1. Leisure and recreation include visiting other places during weekends, holidays, or free
time to visit friends and relatives, exploring other places for cultural tourism, and leisure
and sports activities like swimming, hiking, and biking to de-stress and rejuvenate.
2. Study travel includes visiting another place or country to learn or apply skills learned
inside the classroom in a different environment, such as in the Practicum Training
Program.
3. Health tourism is a wider term for travel that focuses on medical treatments and the
use of healthcare services. It covers a wide field of health-oriented tourism, ranging
from preventive and health-conductive treatment to rehabilitation and curative forms of
travel. Wellness tourism is a related field.

or a normal workplace. Some types of business tourism are incentive travel, exhibitions,
