In the era of internet and social networks we travel more and better. Whoever now, with a little inventive and few clicks, can arrange a phenomenal holiday!
Everyone has his own holiday concept and feels he is a tourist in his own way. There are types of tourists traveling from across the world, those who travel a few miles from home or who simply do it with their minds. But whatever it is the reason or a kind of a trip, the important thing is to recharge us, to make us dream, to make us feel better! Travelers are a multiform tribe: those who are looking for novelty and habit, those who plan everything, and those who don’t.
The moderate tourist is the one who loves relaxation, who chooses the destination and decides everything to do. He or she gets up calmly. He or she often leaves to know people. He is sociable and sincerely wants to know the place he or she will visit.
The occasional tourist is instead the one who suddenly leaves. Maybe following some friends who have already planned everything. In many cases without knowing clearly where to go!
The adventurous tourist leaves with his backpack and a tour guide or cellphone in his hand. He loves trekking both in the countryside and in the city, to walk, since he thinks is the only way to truly live the visited place. No advance booking, if not to save on the flight. Not even the hostel or the hotel where to sleep; the schedule changes in the way, just a couple hours to redesign the stay in a new city here we go, all done!
The habitual tourist, among all types of tourist, is a ‘weird’ individual, able to reach the top of the world and to become restless if he can not do his usual breakfast. This kind of traveller could even go back home to don’t give up for too many mornings to his cappuccino. The habitual tourist does not move very far from home, or chooses a place to come back every year, as if it were an irreplaceable rite. This tourist needs confirmation and reassurance. He does not want to change his habits and he does not care too much about seeing new places or eating typical dishes. He is a distrustful tourist and keeps himself away from the cultural context in which he is, looking for hotels and restaurants that are familiar.
And last but not least, the fanatic tourist, the apprehensive who plans every detail, schedules every hour. You can recognize him or her by the manic ability to plan the journey – much better than the most tour operator.
