Types of tourists
Speaking about tourism as about popular phenomenon, it is very important
to answer the following question correctly: who uses tourist services and what kind of them?
Tourists can be classified according to the following characteristics:
- depending on their activity;
- depending on the lifestyle.
Traditionally there are singled out 6 groups among the tourists
according to their activity during rest
Lovers of calm rest
Its representatives go on holidays in order to avoid everyday stress
and to have a rest in calm and pleasant atmosphere. They are afraid of
strangers and of big masses of people. Holiday-makers who prefer to have
a calm rest are attracted by the sun, sand and sea.
Lovers of pleasures
It is a type of very enterprising tourists who during their rest are
occupied with the search of diverse pleasures and prefer social atmosphere.
Lovers of active rest
These tourists love nature and create an active exercise for their body.
They prefer measured stirring and staying outsides. Their holiday may be combined with treatment.
Lovers of sport rest
As opposed to actively resting tourists, tourists-sportsmen are concentrated
on the competition. For them sport - their hobby - is very important.
They are not afraid of physical exercise.
Holiday-makers with the purpose of experience, studying
This type of tourists is interested in the increasing of their educational
level, in the perception of something new.
Lovers of adventures
Only few lovers of strong feelings set off for a trip alone and they expose
themselves to really serious risk. One can relate to the type of searchers
for adventures such tourists, who look for unusual impressions with a
definite portion of risk. For them risk is an opportunity to try themselves.
Classification of the tourists on the groups depending on their lifestyle
supposes deeper approach to the singling out of the types, as it considers man
and his behaviour not disconnectedly, but in connection with his life position,
his attitude towards different things and his wishes.
While singling out the groups of tourists depending on their lifestyle
there is considered not some separate criterion, but attitude of the person
towards his life. It is very difficult to do it, because trends and economic
situation in the society are subject to very strong changes in time.
Depending on lifestyle, there are singled out four groups
Lovers of delights
Representatives of this group have very high requirements to the quality
of the rest. For them a trip is a means to express themselves. They want to
have pleasure from rest, to allow themselves some weaknesses or to do sport exercise.
Tendentious tourists
For tourists of this group rest is an opportunity to find and to express
themselves as a personality. These are holiday-makers with high requirements,
but as opposed to the "enjoying the life", they don't need luxe facilities.
They search for union with the nature, silence and an opportunity for
psychological relief. They are aware of the environmental problems,
they are interested in the politics and in the culture of the region which they are going to visit.
Family tourists
This group comprises only families with children. Family tourists like
to spend their holidays in family circle or with friends and relatives.
They rest in calm and comfortable atmosphere, buy services at good prices
and don't like being disturbed. Most often they serve themselves.
Total holiday-makers
The most important condition for the tourists of this type is an opportunity
to have a rest. This group comprises relatively passive tourists who spend their
holidays in a traditional way: enjoy silence, sleep for a long time, like to
have delicious substantial meals, go for short walks or trips near by.
Lovers of such rest are glad if during the holidays they can keep their
favourite habits, they don't like to experiment.
According to the age scale there are singled out the following groups of
the tourists:
1. from 0 to 14 years old: as a rule, these are children travelling with
their parents, it is necessary to make reduced prices for them;
2. 15 - 24 years old: this segment is youth who already travel without
parents, but, nevertheless, reduced prices on trips remain;
3. 25 - 44 years old: economically active people who spend their time with
their families on rest or with friends. Here attention should be paid to the
needs of the children if they rest by families;
4. 45 - 64 years old: people of average age, who have economic activity, but
who are not burdened with the children. By the way, such customers are called "emptied nest";
5. over 65 years old: the customers here are people of elder age, retired
people. In the world this segment has rather a big share of the tourist market.
According to the Law of Ukraine "About tourism" the list of services of
every tour is different and is defined by the programme, besides, every kind
of these services comprises a lot of inclusive elements. That's why in tourist
activity there are concepts of the main and additional services. In such a
way, the services included in a complex service and in the cost of the tour,
are considered to be basic services, but if a tourist purchases some service
on his own wish in addition to the paid tour, this service is considered
to be an additional one, and the customer pays for it additionally.
For example, a special meeting at the airport, birthday greeting,
photographer, fruit and wine delivery into the room etc.
