1. Read and translate the text. Types of tourism

There are many types of tourism nowadays. They depend on the purpose of travelling people. Some of them are international and domestic tourism, in-coming and out-going tourism, recreational and business tourism. The more purposes travelers may have, the more types of tourism there are and will be. Some of the purposes of travelers are holidays, business, health, study, sports and many others. However there are a lot more types of tourism. We can also mention such types of tourism as cultural and educational tourism, ecological and adventure tourism, hiking and cycling, pilgrimage and special-interest tourism. There is a great deal of special-interest holidays popular with tourists all over the world. Special interest means hobby, for example, cookery, bird-watching, gambling, painting, motor racing, horse riding, botany and others. For instance, bird-watching involves fascinating tours where travelers watch birds in natural surroundings.

Some of the new types of tourism that will continue developing in future are the third-age and the fourth-age tourism. The third-age tourism concerns retired people and fourth-age tourism involves disabled people. Both terms “third” and “fourth” are devised for the sake of convenience and politeness towards these kinds of tourists.

Leisure tourism is also called pleasure tourism or holiday tourism. It is a type of tourism when a person goes on holiday and does not travel on business. Thus, the purpose of tourism in this case is recrea­tion.

Leisure travellers look for sun, sea and sand. They want to go sunbathing, swimming and diving. So this kind of travellers goes to sea resorts or holiday camps and stay at resort hotels.

Sports tourism is a type of active holiday. The purpose of a sport­ing tour is to exercise and to keep physically fit. At the same time travellers enjoy natural surroundings, fresh air and clean water.

Travellers combine action and relaxation during a sporting holiday.

Tourist companies offer hiking, cycling, boating, rafting and other kinds of sporting tours.

Within sports tourism there is water tourism, mountain tourism, mountaineering, downhill skiing, horse riding and many more types.

Sports tourism is popular with travellers all year round.

Business tourism is travel for business purposes. Business travellers are businessmen and government officials. They travel on different missions. They often travel to attend a convention. Convention tourism is a part of business tourism. It involves taking part in a conference or a seminar.

Business travellers often travel to attend an international exhibi­tion or a trade fair.

Incentive tourism means that a business company offers holiday tours to its employees and covers all travel expenses.

On the one hand, the company does it as a reward or a bonus to a person for his successful work. On the other hand, the company does it as an incentive for the fu­ture. The company hopes that the employee will work even better in future and bring profit to the company.

Familiarization tourism is often called just FAM tourism. It means that a business company sends its staff on educational tours to its branches or other business companies in other cities and countries.

If a travel company sends its travel clerks on FAM tours, it means that they will have educational visits to a tourist destination. There they will get familiar with local facilities, hotels, restaurants, and attractions. Normally a tour operator arranges FAM trips for the travel clerks from the travel agencies, selling its tourist products. Most often a tour operator arranges such trips to new travel destina­tions.

The main purpose of travel clerks on a FAM tour is to get neces­sary knowledge from personal experience. When the travel clerks return home, they will know what to offer and what to explain to their customers about the destination.
