Non-standard tours: features and benefits. Unusual travel destinations Atypical tours

Non-standard tours are a relatively new direction in the tourism business and at the same time quite promising, since the demand for this type of vacation already exists and tends to grow, and despite this, most travel agencies do not offer this product.

 

Tourist trips that do not fit into the usual scheme of package tours are considered non-standard. It can be

  • trips to places far from popular destinations,
  • visiting resorts and tourist centers, but without the accompaniment of representatives of the tour operator and accommodation in popular hotels,
  • cheap travel options that the tour operator will not offer.

Not every agency organizes a trip to the North Pole or Antarctica, arranges accommodation in an old villa in Tuscany, helps to rent apartments for a summer vacation on the coast of Spain, arranges a weekly diving safari on a ship across the Red Sea, or offers to go to London for a weekend for just 10 thousand rubles for two.

Also, such tours include options for organizing corporate recreation, trips for large families or people with disabilities, active rest groups of friends, training sports teams, holding various events abroad, for example, weddings, and much more.

Currently, there is a certain problem in the tourism market associated with the absence of the institution of brokers, that is, persons who would undertake the organization and support of trips of any degree of complexity. most of them are interested in selling package tours and rarely practice an individual approach. There are few agencies offering such services even in the capital; in provincial cities there are none at all. Without proper practice, staff are incompetent in these matters. As a result, in the absence of qualified assistance, those wishing to travel on their own often abandon their dreams.

The audience of potential consumers of this service is wide. It covers those who are fed up with hotel vacations in resorts, those who crave adventure, and those who have always thought that trips abroad were not available to them due to their limited budget.

A significant percentage of consumers of the service are people who prefer active recreation. It can be not only hiking, cycling or self-driving, but extreme sports such as mountain climbing, yachting, diving or surfing. In addition, a non-standard approach to travel planning is required by those whose interest in the country is very specific, for example, those who study Italian cuisine or who are thirsty for self-discovery in Tibet. The service attracts people of all ages and occupations, who are united only by the desire to travel and the dream to see the world.

Among the advantages of such a vacation, it is worth noting

  • practically unlimited degree of freedom (in this case, the only restrictions are the visa regime and the laws of the visited country),
  • the opportunity to see and learn more about the country than on any even the most eventful tour,
  • an unforgettable experience.

As part of the organization of non-standard travel, clients are offered not only the development of a route, ordering tickets and solving the issue of accommodation and transfer, but also constant advisory support throughout the trip via telephony or the Internet. Visas are issued for them, an individual excursion or training program is selected, a schedule and scheme of travel is developed.

Features of the organization of non-standard tours

Unlike selling regular trips, planning non-standard trips will require in-depth knowledge of the country, personal experience travel, as well as more time for communication with a client and solving a problem than a regular tour requires.

Despite the fact that the interest in the service is high, it will take time to gain customer confidence and disseminate information. That is why, at first, it makes sense to combine this type of activity with the sale of standard package tours to areas in high demand.

Travelers' demands are sometimes surprising, sometimes shocking, and sometimes frightening. Each of them has their own preferences for time, place or type of rest. Everyone lacks something, wants to do, see, try, feel, something new, which he cannot afford, for a number of reasons, on weekdays. Someone lacks nature, villages, endless fields. Someone to look at the starry sky, "fall" into the endless, milky cloud of the Milky Way and so that at the same time for hundreds of kilometers there was a minimal illumination of the sky - neither cities, nor villages, nor a person ... Someone can taste wine while on a plantation or taste the real whiskey in the homeland of the drink. And someone wants to fly into space, land on the moon. All this, and not only, is called non-standard tourism and unusual travel.

Some call the folly of those who standard types recreation - sunbathing on the beach or sightseeing tours, prefers something unusual, non-standard and new. It is not surprising - people who prefer going to art galleries are unlikely to be close to people who arrange trips into the depths of the desert to observe the starry sky in absolute, natural darkness. Few can find innovation, motivation in these non-standard types of tourism and recreation. To understand this new round in the development of the tourism business, you need to plunge into the world of interesting, unusual ideas and try to find positive sides in them and definitely something of your own!

Non-standard types of tourism - Rural, Rural, Ecotourism

Rural (many also call it ecotourism, but this is not entirely true) type of tourism is one of the most diverse types of recreation. Many residents of large cities, accustomed to the noise of cars, the ringing of alarms, iPhones, tablets and gadgets, try to escape to the countryside at least once in their lives. Closer to nature, to something alive, real, which can be touched, felt. Break away at least for a moment from the gray, suffocating walls and break out closer to nature, forest, mountains, savannah, desert. Relax in peace and comfort. This is one of the most positive features of this type of non-standard recreation. In addition, rural recreation improves human health, its psychological component, brings emotional imbalance to harmony with oneself.

Non-standard types of tourism - space tourism, astronomical tours

Space tourism is another type of non-standard tourism. Who would not want to take a long flight to uncharted orbits and stars? See the endless expanses of space? Fly around the globe? Today, in the age of modern technologies, this can be partially done if there is an amount in a bank account with 5-6 zeros in US currency. Spaceships are invented for flights of tourists-astronauts, new special suits, protective ammunition and much more. The problem lies in the high cost of this flight. This type of tourism is not yet available to everyone. Only the mighty of this world can still observe the beauty of the starry sky from the window of a spaceship. But there are tours that will allow you to get as close as possible to the eternal - space and its objects.

Sealand is an unrecognized state in the North Sea, off the coast of Great Britain. The area of ​​the entire state fit on one platform, built during the second world war to protect the borders of Britain. The retired military man moved to an abandoned platform and on September 2, 1967 announced the creation of a sovereign state and proclaimed himself Prince Roy I. The funny thing is that Sealand meets all the criteria for statehood specified in the Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States, and the British court said that all the cases against Sealand are outside his jurisdiction. The country has its own king, church, postage stamps, passports and coins. The state strictly guards its borders, so in 1990 Sealand fired warning salvos at a British ship that unauthorizedly approached its border. How to get to Sealand? If the Sealands are friendly, it is possible to rent a boat in the port of Ipswich, which is 10-12 miles from the platform.


8. Middle Egypt
when: all year round
cost: from several hundred dollars + the cost of a flight to Egypt or the cost of a ticket to popular resorts

Even before the well-known events in Egypt, there was a region in this country that has never been distinguished by tranquility. Between Cairo and Luxor, there are cities that few people have heard of: Assiut, Miniya, Sohag, Kena. It is difficult to buy train tickets here, it is difficult to walk around the city without attracting the attention of the police. All the difficulties with moving and visiting this part are due to the fact that strong radical Islamists in the region coexist with a large community of Coptic Christians. The conflict between them almost led to a civil war in the 70s of the last century. Today, the war between the government and the Islamic underground is not covered in the media, but it has not stopped, as evidenced by a number of terrorist attacks with injured tourists. A visit to the Middle is necessary at least for the sake of the "place of the dead" Zawiet el-Sultan.

The country is known for pirates who move along the coast and attack ships. There is virtually no central authority in the country. Among the dangers that await travelers to this country are armed clashes, kidnapping for ransom, pirate attacks and mines. There are unrecognized states on the territory of the country, such as Somaliland, Puntland, Jubaland, Azania, etc.

For example, you can visit Somaliland. It is an unrecognized state in the northwest. Since 1991, it is virtually independent, but it still does not exist on the maps. "Visas" to Somaliland are issued in Ethiopia and Yemen, which border the unrecognized state. Finding Somaliland representative offices to obtain a visa is quite difficult, but "visas" are given to everyone. The people of Somaliland are friendly enough and probably won't hurt you, but there is a lot of crime there.
