Content
This unit examines the complexities of the special interest tourism sector. As travel markets become more sophisticated, travellers seek more authentic experiences for their leisure, pleasure and recreation. The unit examines some of the ways in which the growing demand is being met, the nature of activities designed to satisfy these expectations and the variety of locations in which this is happening. The course begins with an overview of changing market expectations. Six specific niche areas are examined in detail. Adventure Tourism, Seniors'tourism, indigenous tourism, health tourism, cruise tourism and Sports tourism are the focus areas of the unit although other specialist areas are discussed in class.
