Sightseeing tourism, also educational, is one of the most common types. It serves as a goal for emotional and physical relief through visiting excursions, entertainment events and relaxing holidays.

Modern destinations such as spa, wellness and fitness are also common.

Sports tourism, often extreme – this category can include cycling, water, mountain, hiking, skiing and other varieties. It involves overcoming any natural obstacles and difficulties on the route. This improves the athletic condition of a person.

Sea tourism – tourism carried out on cruise ships or liners with a full range of entertainment and services. Usually, the trip is carried out on a given route with a call at ports for excursions and leisure activities. We can say that in the Middle Ages, thanks to such a type of tourism as navigation, many discoveries were made.

Business tourism is a great opportunity to combine professional activities and fuel an interest in travel. Companies send their employees on corporate trips and business trips with business tasks. One of their main goals is to hold meetings, trainings, negotiations, attract investment, motivate employees, and others.

Pilgrimage tourism is another ancient type of tourism. At all times, it has been a tradition to visit holy places for prayer and worship.
