ourists can be divided into different categories. This can be on the basis of which types of places they like to visit or the type of activities they like to be involved in.
Beach holidays, eg in Spain and the Maldives. People can relax on the beach or take part in water sports.
Outdoor adventure, eg skiing and walking in the European Alps or the Rocky Mountains of North America.
Cultural/historic, eg people like to visit historic sites, art galleries and museums in cities such as Rome and Paris. In cities like New York and London they can go shopping or see shows.
Ecotourism, eg small numbers of people go trekking in the Amazon rainforest or on whale and dolphin conservation holidays in Scotland. This type of tourism is designed to be sustainable.
