CHAPTER I: TYPES OF TOURISM

1. Classification of Tourism according to the Origin of Demand

From the point of view of demand, considering how the direction of the
tourist flows or currents, according to the place of origin of the tourists and the chosen destination
They can determine different forms of tourism:

Domestic tourism: residents visiting their own country.

Inbound tourism: non-residents coming from a specific country.
Outbound tourism: residents of their own country travel to other countries.

These three forms of tourism can also be combined into:

Domestic and inbound tourism.
National tourism: domestic and outbound.
International tourism: outbound and inbound.

2. Classification of Tourism according to the motivation of the trip

Various authors have developed theories about tourist motivation based

mainly in the way the motivations of each person evolve. The reason for
Travel is one of the most commonly used classifications; it consists of identifying tourism according to the

main reason for the trip or the purpose of the visit to a specific destination. According to
with this criterion, tourism can be classified into
three main categories, which in turn are divided into a range of types (Acerenza, 2010).
These categories are as follows:

Conventional or holiday-type tourism: It is the one that responds to motivations

related to education, pleasure, rest or recreation.

Specialized tourism: It responds to motivations related to the

expectations of excitement and adventure or with scientific interest.

Affinity or common interest tourism: It is the one that is found

linked to motivations of a professional, religious, or philosophical nature.

The motivation for travel involves any of the reasons why man
Tourism is classified according to the emerging reasons, as it is a movement that occurs for tourist purposes.
the intentions, desires, opportunities, needs of the tourist, such as:

Business tourism: It is the tourism practiced by the businessman when

parallel to the development of its commercial activities, takes the opportunity to
enjoy the scenic beauty and fun places.

Leisure and recreation tourism: This is practiced by a person who wants

to vacation, to discover the virtues and customs of other regions, different from the place
where the tourist fulfills their desire to change their environment for example
change the sand for the snow)

Mystical tourism: tourism in which a transcendental event is experienced, to live

an experience that allows one to find oneself, to integrate with the
nature, detach from the ego, find God. For this type of tourism the
traveler visits places related to ancestral cultures, they come into contact with
descendants of aborigines, generally shamans, knowledgeable about
techniques and potions, spiritual healers, that provide a physical and mental balance
with ancient methods.

Experiential tourism: It is one where the visitor lives with a rural family.
where they learn their customs and daily habits, these rural families
they teach about life in the countryside, its customs, the work of the land, the
animal care, fishing, and hunting.
Cultural tourism: It is the tourism practiced by groups or individually, these
people are interested in knowing, learning about cultures, music festivals, art,
poetry, cinema, theater, visit ancestral communities to to relate to
local artisans and musicians. They traverse suitable places for such purposes and
they spend their time on tourist activities

Adventure Tourism: it is practiced by those who want an 'active' vacation.

Requires physical effort, a positive mental attitude for its performance, and a great
adrenaline rush.

healthy disciplines, for example: mountaineering, golf, scuba diving, fishing, among others.

Incentive tourism: It is tourism composed of programs and activities for

companies or organizations, to motivate or reward employees or teams with the

mention river or maritime cruises, jeep safaris, etc.

Domestic tourism: It is the tourism that takes place within the same country.

3. Classification of tourism into Conventional and Non-Conventional

(impacts and evolution)

The most recent and utilized classification of tourism in tourist activity is the
classification in conventional or traditional tourism and non-conventional or alternative tourism
within which are the different types of tourism according to the classification based on the
origin of the demand or according to the motivation of the trip.

Conventional Tourism

Conventional tourism mainly offers sun and beach tourism, which makes it possible.
the massification of product, consequently it is known as mass tourism (Salcedo M.
receives this designation due to the volume of tourists that participate in it and the
high degree of spatial concentration, which can often exceed the capacity
supportive of the natural or cultural resources present there" (Acerenza. 2010).

Conventional tourism has the following characteristics

Look for movement of large masses of tourists.

It has low personalization towards the customer.

It sets rigid schedules that do not allow for many modifications.

Seeks maximum profitability in the least amount of space and time possible, being risky for
the cultural, landscape, and natural diversity, as it only selects what it considers
more commercial and with a tendency towards greater acceptance by the masses.

High costs of equipment and surrounding infrastructure, etc.

Conventional or vacation-type tourism, as it is commonly known, is the one that

obeys motivations related to education, pleasure, rest or
with recreation, vacation tourism (conventional) can be divided among others,
cultural tourism, sun and beach tourism, snow tourism.

1. Evolution of Conventional Tourism.

Conventional tourism, as it involves large movements of people

masses of tourists, has been the type of tourism that has developed the most in its beginnings of the
tourist activity that has changed over time according to tourist trends but
whose main characteristic has been mass displacement. In its evolution we have to
they have added different recreational activities for destinations, especially sun and
beaches are not significantly affected by changes in demand preferences and can
surviving in the face of a new form of tourism like unconventional tourism.

Mass tourism, or as it is commonly referred to, has its

beginnings in the late 19th century in the industrial regions of Great Britain, in the county of
Lancashire, in the west of England, where as a consequence of the rationalization of work and of the
the idea that going on vacation was good for people, as it allowed them to
To restore strength, the habit of taking vacations by the seaside developed significantly.
Entire towns went on vacation and these were established according to "an indicator of the
citizenship, a right of relaxation and pleasure.

Blackpool, located on the coast of the Irish Sea, specializes in receiving mass tourism.
of workers, it began to position itself as a vacation destination and by the 1930s it was already receiving 7

millions of visitors a year, being the most important recreational place in Great Britain and
probably in the world, with the number of visitors that even today in the 21st century, very few
beach tourist centers have been able to reach.

Organized mass tourism began with the start of operations by Thomas.

generated "a mass movement of human beings that dwarfs the great migrations of
past and supports the largest industry in the world, mass tourism is organized and
professionally managed.

2. Negative impacts of conventional tourism:

Some of the negative impacts caused by conventional tourism occur

en:
 In the vegetation: on some occasions, it is one of the attractions that it has.
a specific tourist site:

The improper use of fire in protected areas can seriously harm the
ecosystems

Tree cutting for constructions intended for tourism, camping, etc.

Excessive accumulation of garbage, besides being a negative visual impact, changes the
condition of the nutrients, blocks the passage of air and light, generates alterations in the
vegetation.

Pedestrian traffic causes trampling and compaction of paths, excess capacity of

load

In Water Quality: water pollution and its quality is a problem

mainly in beach areas and in supplies for human consumption:

The main pollution problem is the pathogens from wastewater.

mainly due to the tourist infrastructure.

Presence of oil residues due to the use of recreational vehicles or spillage of

the waters.

In Air Quality: primarily linked to the increase in noise levels.

certain areas due to increased vehicle circulation or air traffic in places
close to the airports.

In Urban Centers:

There is architectural pollution due to the failure to integrate the

everything in the image.
 As mass tourism, it generates significant impacts in the areas of
sustainability, some of these impacts are:

Ecological scope: due to the number of tourists in the same physical space it is said in a
natural area, causes that different species of wildlife may be in danger of extinction or that
migrating to other places; and regarding the plant species, they may suffer from mistreatment or even
of extinction.

Sociocultural scope: local residents, due to the number of tourists, may feel
invaded and therefore will act in defense of their assets or in the worst case migrate to
other places losing the original culture of a destination and tending to disappear in an
future. Regarding popular culture, it will tend to suffer from acculturation or at least from
cultural alienation.

Economic scope: economic distribution cannot be equitable among all.

involved in tourism in a place, since only the operators of the large masses of
tourism will be the beneficiaries, causing discomfort among local residents, the same ones who because of that
It is a fact that they do not act in the best interest of tourism and their dissatisfaction with the activity arises.

The negative effects that organized mass tourism may have should not be
attributed to neither this nor the tourists but to the 'development policies' of the countries to obtain only
economic benefits, without considering social effects, cultural impacts, environmental impacts with
result of the destruction of ecosystems and the uncontrolled use of natural resources.

3.1.3 Positive Impacts of Conventional Tourism

Organized and professionally managed mass tourism has a number of advantages.

which have allowed it to continue having great acceptance among tourists, some of these
advantages are:

Organized mass tourism "democratized" tourism, before it existed.

Tourism was a privilege of the upper classes of society.

It facilitates travel decisions by offering vacation packages.

Eliminate the language barriers, allowing tourists to have guides.

specialized in their own language during the tours and with staff assistance
during the 24 hours of the day.

The coexistence with other people during organized vacation trips

facilitates social contact and creates bonds of friendship among the participants that
extends beyond the journey. (Acerenza, 2010)

2. Unconventional Tourism

Also referred to by some authors as "Alternative Tourism," it primarily seeks to satisfy

needs that conventional tourism fails to meet. Alternative tourism is not in
reality a form of tourism, but the generic name with which the movement for tourism

massive, which are characterized by allowing development on a smaller scale, with minimal impact
about the environment and respectful of the values of local communities and their culture. In
alternative tourism can be identified as forms of nature tourism, adventure, sports
extremes, rural, and of course ecotourism.

It is a classification that takes into account the tourist's motivations in a more

personalized in its attention regarding the characteristics it needs and that its development takes place
in a conscious and responsible manner with the care and preservation of the environment. Within
in this classification, we find new ways of doing tourism and where local residents
they take an active role and where forgotten populations of a territory can get involved and that
It can combat extreme poverty as long as sustainability is applied.

In 1996, alternative tourism includes names such as adventure tourism, rural tourism,
agrotourism or ecotourism, according to the definition adopted at the VI World Congress of
Ecotourism and Adventure Tourism, and that currently for the year 2015, remain within the

CHAPTER I: MODALITIES OF CONVENTIONAL TOURISM

1. Definition of Conventional Tourism

It is the organized and traditional practice of developing tourism. The programs are
predetermined by a travel and tourism agency and the comprehensive services such as accommodation,
Transportation, food, and excursions are conventional.

It is a term used to refer to popular forms of recreational tourism forged in the

southern Europe, the Caribbean, and North America in the 1960s and 1970s. It has to do with the
transport of a large number of people in standardized vacation packages to centers
tourism and cruises. (Synergy) Conventional tourism, also known as the model of
"Sun and beach" is a product of urban and industrial society whose characteristics
mainly include, among others, large-scale tourism, concentrated from the point of view of the
offer and massification from the perspective of demand. Conventional tourism is massive,
consumption and has a high impact on ecosystems and host culture.

It is the organized and traditional practice of developing tourism. The programs are
predetermined by a travel and tourism agency and comprehensive services such as accommodation,
transportation, food, and excursions are conventional. Until relatively recently
time, the only way to practice tourism was in its traditional form, which included three
indispensable elements: the sun, the sea, and the sand Now Conventional Tourism is becoming
an activity whose only protagonist is man, so it takes place in the field
personal, everyone has their own
interpretation and way of assimilating it, which depends entirely on their experiences, desires,
tastes, motivations, culture, language.

For the development of Conventional Tourism, unlike other types of tourism, it is not
necessary to learn some special knowledge or skill or the need for a
previous knowledge or the use of instruments, tools for the practice of a sport.
Within this type of tourism we have:

2. Cultural Tourism

Cultural Tourism today is linked to Heritage. It was in the 1960s when in Europe,
especially in Italy, a theoretical framework focused on heritage began to be created and on the
meaning of 'Cultural Goods', and within their meanings, a purpose was assigned to them
the last one was "to be enjoyed by the public," a right that would open the heritage to
everyone and it would be the first step towards the implementation of a policy for Cultural Tourism (Salgado,
1999).

It was UNESCO that drafted the first definition of Cultural Tourism in 1976: 'The
Cultural Tourism is that form of Tourism which aims, among other purposes, to...
knowledge of monuments and historical-artistic sites. It exerts a truly positive effect
about these in so far as it contributes - to satisfy its own purposes - to their maintenance and
protection. This form of tourism justifies, in fact, the efforts that such maintenance and
protection is demanded from the human community, due to socio-cultural and economic benefits
what it entails for the entire involved population

Throughout the last decades of the 20th century, new forms of life began to emerge.
in a context of social, cultural, and economic changes. The population increased its resources
economic, as well as their educational and cultural level. With these changes, new ones will be witnessed.

travel habits and a trend toward vacation fragmentation, an interest in travel

weekend getaways, or the search for active vacations, in addition to a desire to learn
during free time. Thus, until before these changes, cultural tourism was considered
mass tourism and therefore was located in conventional tourism.

The differentiating element was then the way of approaching culture, presenting itself
as a differentiated activity from the prototypical mass tourism of the 1960s. Tourism
Cultural is a way of connecting with the past and protecting it. The
OMT will take the initiative in 1995 and, in the face of this form of displacement that was already happening

consolidating, proposes its definition, defining Cultural Tourism as all movements

of people to satisfy the human need for diversity, aimed at raising the level
cultural of the individual, facilitating new knowledge, experiences, and encounters (OMT, 1995).

The European Union refers to three conditions regarding Cultural Tourism:

A desire to cultivate oneself (to know and understand objects, works, and
men);
The use of a resource that has cultural significance (monument, work of art,
show, exchange of ideas;
The intervention of an intermediary, person, written document, or material
audiovisual.

3. Sun and Beach Tourism

The habit of frequenting the beaches dates back to the first third of the 18th century. Since 1735 the
beaches were frequented in the middle of winter by wealthy English people, in search of sun and warmth. This
the activity was mainly intended for the sick, as it was believed that salt water had
a medicinal function. Starting from the last third of that same century, this activity had the adhesion
of all types of tourists, they used to think that bathing in seawater was like taking a
medicine.

It is well known that the segment called Sun and Beach Tourism is the most
demanded by all, especially in those coastal areas that enjoy a climate
favorable, this segment of tourism is usually associated with leisure, as well as with the terms
rest, fun, and entertainment, known as the three S's (in English): sand, sea, sun.
(Vogeler and Hernández (2000:)

The sun and beaches is a type of tourism that occurs in coastal places where there are
beaches and most of the time, the weather conditions are sunny with temperatures
mild (from 25° to 30° C). This type of tourism is usually used by people who reside in
places where the climate is rainy or cloudy for much of the year and with temperatures
low or for people who do not have beaches near their usual place of residence.

Beach destinations present sun and

beach, for which alternatives for diversification have been sought that
respond to different demand groups and multiple travel motivations, whose interest has been
emphasized in the sports and nautical markets; health; ecotourism and adventure; business; and
congresses and conventions.

In its early days, this type of tourism only relied on the beaches and the good weather, with the passing
of time and the changes in the motivations and needs of the tourist, the hotel establishments
And the travel agents who still work with this type of tourism sell recreational activities,
of relaxation together with the beach, making the tourist feel that they are having a good time and that
are carrying out different activities in one place, that is why the designs of the hotels of
The beach has changed and its services have also allowed it to survive in the market.
