Tourist types

Leisure tourists – if the tourist is visiting the destination for the first time they will want to visit the most important attractions and probably others. These tourists might want to visit a range of attractions.

Business tourists – generally are not travelling to visit attractions, but they may have time to visit major attractions they have not been to before.

Different ages – younger tourists in their late teens onwards generally enjoy theme parks but will visit other attractions as well. Families will want to visit attractions which cater for children’s needs, whether they are toddlers or older children. Couples are perhaps more likely to visit cultural attractions and natural attractions. Older tourists will also be more interested in natural and cultural attractions.

Different cultures – will visit the ‘must do’ attractions in a destination, in other words, the most famous and the more cultural attractions.
