    organization in the field of tourism, which promotes tourism as a driver
    of economic growth, inclusive development and environmental
    sustainability and offers leadership and support to the sector in
    advancing knowledge and tourism policies worldwide.

     UNWTO’s membership includes 158 countries, 6 territories and over 500


    affiliate members representing the private sector, educational
    institutions, tourism associations and local tourism authorities. 
    Let’s get to know the tourists

     Tourists travel for a number of different reasons.

     Tourists have different needs depending on why they are travelling.

     Tourists use different products and services when they travel.

     Tourists will always remember what they experienced, whether it is BAD OR


    GOOD.
    2 CLASSES OF VISITORS:

    1. TOURIST
     is a person who visits a country other than that in which he usually
    resides for a period of AT LEAST 24 HOURS.

     Any person visiting a country other than that of earning money.

    2. EXCURSIONIST
     People staying in a certain place for less than 24 hours.
     Cruise travelers.
    PURPOSE OF TRAVEL

     Leisure
     Business
     Medical
     Visiting family/friends
     Adventure
    ELEMENTS OF TRAVEL
     DISTANCE
    Distance between the person’s home community vs. travelling
    away from home.
     LENGTH OF STAY AT THE DESTINATION
    This depends on what policy the Country offers.
     RESIDENCE OF THE TRAVELER
     PURPOSE OF TRAVEL
    LEISURE TOURISM
     Leisure travel is travel in which the primary motivation is to take a
    vacation from everyday life.
     Leisure travel is often characterized by staying in nice hotels or resorts,
    relaxing on beaches or in a room, or going on guided tours and
    experiencing local tourist attractions.
    The push factors were:
    (a) escape from a perceived mundane environment
    (b)exploration and evaluation of self
    (c) relaxation
    (d)enhancement of relationships with family and friends
    (e) facilitation of social interaction
    (f) independence: regain of control over destiny, 
    (g) travel as a basic need,
    BUSINESS TOURISTM
     Business tourism or business travel is a more limited and focused subset
    of regular tourism. During business tourism (traveling), individuals are
    still working and being paid, but are doing so away from both their
    workplace and home.
     Primary business tourism activities include meetings, and attending
    conferences and exhibitions.
     business tourism involves a smaller section of the population, with different
    motivations, and additional freedom-of-choice-limiting constraints imposed
    through the business aspects.
     Destinations of business tourism are much more likely to be areas
    significantly developed for business purposes (cities, industrial regions, etc.)
     An average business tourist is more wealthy than an average leisure tourist,
    and is expected to spend more money.
    MEDICAL TOURISTM

     Medical tourism refers to people traveling to a country other than their


    own to obtain medical treatment. In the past, this usually referred to
    those who traveled from less-developed countries to major
    medical centers in highly developed countries for treatment unavailable
    at home.
     may be also for medical services unavailable or non-licensed in the
    home country.
    VISITING FAMILY/FRIENDS

     Travel for the purpose of visiting friends or relatives (VFR travel) is a


    concept first defined by the travel and tourism industry and included
    travelers whose main purpose of travel was family‐related, and were
    therefore distinct from tourist, business, or long‐term travelers such as
    missionaries or other volunteers.
    ADVENTURE TOURISTM

     Adventure tourism is a type of niche tourism involving exploration or


    travel to remote areas, where the traveler should expect the
    unexpected. 

     Adventure tourism is rapidly growing in popularity as tourists seek


    unusual holidays, different from the typical beach vacation.
