   Definition of what a tourist and an excursionist is

   15 Different types of tourist

   How to draw tourist profiles
     What is a Tourist?
•       Is a person who travels away from home for leisure, business or
        other purposes for longer than a day e.g. 24 hours but less than a
        year. An excursionist is a person who arrives at the destination and
        departs on the same day.

    Tourists are classified, according to their needs and their reasons for
                    travelling, into four broad categories:
      business and professional tourist
      leisure and holiday tourists
      tourists travelling to visit friends and relatives (VFR)
      Youth tourists, including backpackers and gap year travellers.

        The tourism industry tries to meet the needs of all types of tourists
         by providing suitable facilities and services for each category.




•       Business tourist: travel is related to business and the world of work. MESE which stands for meetings,
        exhibitions and special events. These are all part of the business world. All major cities have conference centres
        that cater for the needs of business tourists. An example of a business tourist would be a salesman who travels to
        another city to attend a trade show and promote the products he sells.
    

•       Education tourists: travel to attend a place of learning in another town, city, or country, in order to study for or
        improve a qualification. They may also be people that attend workshops to learn new skills or improve existing
        ones. A clinic nurse who travels to another province to attend a workshop about infectious diseases is an example
        of an educational tourist.
    

•       Incentive tourists: are people who are rewarded in the form of a company paid holiday for their hard work, or for
        achieving goals set by their company. This incentive to travel motivates employees to work harder, improves work
        relationships, and builds team spirit. A salesman who receives a holiday package for achieving the most sales in
        the company is an example of an incentive tourist.
    

•       Health or medical tourist: travel because they want to visit a holiday spa, needs medical special treatment that
        is only available away from home, undergo procedures that are cheaper in another country, or are recovering from
        an illness in a healthier climate. Many tourist come from oversees countries to South Africa to have plastic surgery.
   Adventure tourist: want an unusual and exciting experience. They want to
    participate in activities that may be dangerous, such as rock climbing, river rafting,
    skydiving, shark cave diving and bungee jumping.

   Cultural tourist: want to experience different cultures, such as San rock art, or
    cultural related festivals such as the National Art Festival in Grahams-town, or the
    International Jazz Festival in Cape Town. They would also want to experience the
    World Heritage Sites in the country.

   Eco-tourists: travel to experience nature such as traveling to Bonita Gardens in
    Bloemfontein South Africa

   Leisure tourist: want to rest and relax and have a break from the usual routine
    Examples of this type of tourism are a cruise on a cruise liner, a trip on a Blue train,
    attending a special music special music performance or relaxing on the beach.
   Religious tourist: want to see and experience places of religious importance. There are many

    religious destinations in the world such as the Hajj in Mecca, Jerusalem in Israel, Varanasi in

    India, and the Vatican in Rome. During Easter the largest Christian pilgrimage to Zion City,

    Moria, Limpopo, takes place. More than a million pilgrims travel to Moria to every Easter.

   Shopping tourist: travel to shopping malls, shopping centres, factory shops, crafts market,

    festivals, and touring shopping routes such as the Midlands in KwaZulu-Natal. Their main

    purpose is to buy items.

   Special interest tourist (STI): have particular interest such as bird watching, food and wine,

    flowers, fishing during the Sardine Run, or attending the Cape Town Book Fair.

   Sport and recreation tourist: participate in or watch sporting events. Popular events include

    the Soccer World Cup, Winblendon Tennis Championship, Comrades Marathon, and Fisher

    River Canoe Marathon. Surfing, mountain climbing, cricket, swimming, golf and tennis are

    popular sports.
   Tourist visiting friends and relatives (VFR) want to
    stay in contact with friends and relatives and travel
    away from home to visit them. These tourist may travel
    to attend a wedding, funeral, or birthday celebration of
    friends or relatives.
   Backpacking or youth tourist: generally have little luggage,
    are on a budget, want to experience adventure and
    excitement, tend to travel independently, enjoy meeting
    other traveller, and have flexible travel schedules. A group
    of young tourists on a weekend walking tour in the
    mountains, or a student touring around the country by bus
    are examples of this group of tourist.

   Gap year travellers: do not study further or enter job
    opportunity after school, instead they take break called a
    gap year. They travel, work and earn money, learn new
    skills or do volunteer work in another country. During this
    time they gain skills and life experience before starting
    tertiary education. These young people are also known as
    “gappers”.
