Everyone travels differently. ¡°Tourism¡±is no longer split neatly into leisure and business. While these two categories remain the most popular, other types of tourism have skyrocketed in recent decades.?

If you¡¯re a travel advisor, understanding the different types of travel will allow you to deliver a better customer experience by curating travel itineraries to suit their individual needs. We¡¯re recapping 3 types of tourism every travel advisor should know and explaining how RateHawk¡¯s loyalty program can help you tailor unique travel experiences for your customers.?

3 Types of Tourism Every Travel Advisor Should Know?

Leisure Tourism:?Leisure is the most common type of tourism for everyday travelers. It¡¯s the once-a-year holiday, the group trip to the beach, or the family holiday to Disney World. Within leisure travel, it¡¯s easy for travel advisors to specialize in a specific niche, such as wellness, culinary explorations, or luxury travel.

Leisure travelers will appreciate comfort and premium accommodations. RateHawk¡¯s loyalty program enables you to upgrade client bookings, providing them with a beachfront room with a balcony for a unique travel experience.

Adventure Tourism:?Adventure is a growing type of tourism tailored to outdoor enthusiasts, sports fans, and thrill-seekers. This tourism niche often attracts eco-conscious travelers and those looking for a nature-focused experience, whether it¡¯s a safari to one of Africa¡¯s national parks, a visit to Everest Base Camp in Nepal, or a trip to experience some of the world¡¯s best scuba diving locations.?

Active travelers may need early check-in to comfortably start their day or late check-out to conveniently board a train. With RateHawk¡¯s loyalty program, you can use your loyalty points to secure these options without increasing the booking cost.?

Wellness Tourism:?One of the newest types of tourism focuses on wellness and medical treatments. These travelers seek a different type of relaxation, including holistic healing centers, yoga retreats, and spa experiences, that they may not find in their home country.

Focusing on wellness is equally vital for those in the travel industry. With RateHawk's loyalty program, you can use your loyalty points for your own travel too. Accumulate enough points from bookings and treat yourself to a personal vacation.?
