One way of categorising tourism is into: 
  • Charter tourism: package & group tours, e.g. Fiji holiday, Danube River cruise
  • Mass-individual tourism: every day holiday destinations, often crowded and popular e.g. Bali, Skiing
  • Adventure tourism: Experiences not as common, e.g. the Amazon, Machu Picchu, the Sahara
  • Extreme tourism: need to be prepared and informed, often expensive. E.g. mountain climbing
