  • Can you help me think up a mnemonic for the types of tourism? See for more info :)?

    Posted by admin on October 28th, 2010 and filed under adventure tourism | 3 Comments »

    The types of tourism are:

    Business
    Nature
    Cultural
    Social
    Recreation
    Active
    Sports
    Religious
    Health
    Adventure
    Wilderness

    It doesn’t matter what order. I would be very grateful. I’m not good at these sort of things,

    If you don’t know what a mnemonic is here is an example:

    Every
    Good
    Boy
    Deserves
    Chocolate

    Is a typical one to remember the notes on a piano scale…
    **** Fudge

    Bill
    Never
    Could
    Socialize
    Really
    Actively
    Since
    Religious and
    Healthy
    Adventures
    Wilted him.

    im choosing to do a degree in Adventure Tourism Management at Uni, but after that i want to work abroad and I’d like to teach children.
    for example, working in a ski resort teaching them how to ski,etc
    i wanted to know if i need a qualification for this? teaching or any other qualification?

    nope – just skiing ability and the ability to find a position.

    What’s your favourite aspect of tourism?

    For example: Geotourism where you see geological wonders around the world or adventure tourism where you mountain climb in tibet.

    Between the two you picked, geotourism. I most like to see how other people and animals and cultures live. (I can’t climb, or I might have picked Tibet.)

    Do you work in the tourism industry?

    I need to interview a peron who works within the tourism industry for my hospitality assignment. This person can work anywhere in the following fields; accomodations, food and beverage, adventure travel and recreation, events and conferences, attractions, transportation, travel trade, and tourism services.

    I am an adventure tour guide in the Yukon.

    Pay sucks (big time!), but the work is fun.

    Girl going to china for tourism for the first time. Please Advice?

    Posted by admin on June 4th, 2010 and filed under adventure tourism | 9 Comments »

    Hi everyone. I am 23 years old girl, and I had been saving money to travel to China for AGES now. I can speak Chinese pretty well (been studying it for a good time now).
    My question is as follow: I would like to go as an independent tourist in Beijing. Is it safe going there alone for the first time? Is it safe just taking my backpack and go for the adventure? Or is it a bit risky the first time?
    I saved over 5000 dollars. Do you think it is enough for me to stay there for 2 or 3 weeks?

    Thanks for your answers.

    It should be safe. Like any touristy area in the world you need to watch out for pickpockets and scams. Make sure you only take taxis with meters, and that they USE the meter. Beijing has a good subway system though that I preferred using. I’ve heard it sometimes happens where you will meet some ‘friendly’ locals and they will say they want to practice their English and you should go to a tea shop with them. Then they will charge $50 for tea in the end. So watch out for that.

    Yes $5000 is more than enough.

    short notes in ecotourism, adventure tourism and cultural tourism?

    Posted by admin on April 12th, 2010 and filed under adventure tourism | 2 Comments »


    Ecotourism involves arranged tours to areas where tourism has had a minimal impact on the native flora and fauna. Thus the visitor can expect the environment to be as natural as possible, yet still comfortable. An ecotourist is interested in seeing birds, animals, fish, forests etc. that have been relatively untouched by humans. Adventure tourism focuses on activities such as white water rafting, zip-lining through rain forest canopies, ocean kayacking etc. Cultural tourism focuses on the cultural (language, customs, art, literature, architecture etc) aspects of a country, city etc.

    How do I have travel and adventure in my life before I settle down?

    Posted by admin on April 10th, 2010 and filed under adventure tourism | 2 Comments »

    I am an early-twenties Canadian university student engaged to be married. My fiance and I have a deep desire to experience different cultures as we feel this will help us become well-rounded and better people. We know that we are very privileged to even have the opportunity to travel so our desire is to volunteer or contribute to where we go (instead of spending tons on tourism and a hedonistic lifestyle) and experience local culture. I’m looking for advice on how best to travel without spending tons of money, without forgetting what I learned in my education (physics/biochemistry) so that I’m employable when I return, how to get deals on accommodation, how to work where I go or what volunteer opportunities are best, how to stay safe, what languages to learn and anything else that would be helpful. We have interest in going pretty much anywhere in Europe, South America, Africa and Australia. Thanks!
    I was hoping to travel for anywhere between 1 and 4 years… What is doable?

    You might try researching volunteer opportunities that can use your area of education. if the organization is well established enough they should be able to help you with planning your trip or advise you on what you may need.

    To expose rural way of life of India to foreign visitors is best way to know real India?

    Posted by admin on March 31st, 2010 and filed under adventure tourism | 1 Comment »

    India plans to expose the country’s unique rural way of life to foreign visitors. Describing the rural project as "responsible tourism", the Tourism Secretary, Shri Sujit Banerjee said: "This is a very innovative rural tourism project which positions India’s rural way of life as a unique visitor experience." "Now we are going into wellness, cruise, rural, adventure and faith tourism," Shri Banerjee said. He also said that the current global financial downturn will not affect the burgeoning tourism industry in the country.

    if you really wanted to see the rural life of India, you need to go to Rajasthan and Punjab in India. Stay there for couple of weeks and you can see what really India is.

    Real Indian guys are really soft hearted and hardworking guys. only in the rural areas You can see what humanity is!
    and in urban areas you can see what diversity do India have.

    Where to go hiking in China?

    Posted by admin on March 20th, 2010 and filed under adventure tourism | 2 Comments »

    OK I currently live in China and am an experienced trekker having studied and worked within the Adventure tourism sector as a expedition consultant and trek leader. Of course I know some great places for trekking within China but I want to hear your ideas. I’m not interested in hearing about paved trails and obvious areas such as the Great Wall. Also your experiences with the attitude towards lao wai’s camping and hiking in remote areas would be appreciated.

    Tiger leaping gorge. Awesome trek.
