Introduction

Excursion tourism is today an important object of study, since it is an essential complex of the world economy. Over the last decades of the twentieth century, international tourist relations have become an integral part of the socio-economic relations of the world community. In this regard, the process of studying tourism as a science is of great importance.

The relevance of this work lies in the fact that with the help of the data obtained and analyzed in this work, it will be possible to determine the profitability of this tourist product for Ukrainian businesses.

The purpose of the course project is to highlight all the problems and advantages of organizing excursion tourism in southern Europe. To achieve this goal in the course project, the following tasks are solved:

Determination of the necessary types of tourist resources for the development of excursion tourism.

Study of the development of excursion tourism in southern Europe.

Determination of further prospects for the development of excursion tourism.

Give a definition of the concept of excursion tourism.

To obtain results, in the course of the study, methods of analysis and synthesis of scientific articles from the Internet and additional literature will be used.

The work consists of an introduction, three sections, conclusions, a list of used literature and additions. The first section is devoted to the definition of the concept of excursion tourism. The second section provides a detailed description of the region's tourist resources. southern Europe... The third section outlines the prospects for the further development of excursion tourism. The research results are presented in a systematic and generalized form in the final part.

Section 1

1.1 Definition of sightseeing tourism

Excursion activities -activities for organizing familiarization of travelers with tourist resources in the country of temporary residence, which does not provide for the provision of accommodation services (overnight stay).

There are people for whom it is boring beach holiday there is nothing in the world. For them, the mere thought that they can fry on hot sand all day is already hateful. There are others - they don’t hate beaches, they simply don’t think of this kind of rest. Give this so that "cities and countries, parallels and meridians flashed." There is also a third category - an intermediate one: they are ready to warm their sides in the sun and see the world.This is excursion tourism .

Cultural tourism ... The largest flows of tourists traveling for educational purposes are observed in Europe, Asia and the Middle East. For small groups of tourists, educational tours can be organized in the form one day excursions with visiting cultural monuments.

Ukrainian people have always had a special interest in museums. Yes, only the choice turned out to be small. But after the borders were flung open, we all gasped. It turns out that there are Egyptian pyramids and the Museum of the History of Plumbing in England, the Eiffel Tower and the Museum of Ties in Zagreb, Venice and the Museum of Torture in Prague, the American Statue of Liberty and the Opium Museum in Thailand, Jerusalem and the Red Light District in Amsterdam with a monument in their natural form. Stalin on one of its streets.

And compatriots rushed to learn this world, familiar to them only from books and albums. We are especially eager for excursions and manage to wind up impressions from two, three, four, or even five countries at a time. But I would like to warn the most greedy: do not chase after the number of cities, museums, historical monuments and other excursion delights - the human brain has its own threshold of impressions and cognition. A tourist who has traveled five countries in 14 days often returns home in a state of complete stupor.

When buying an excursion tour from a company, do not rush to buy all the excursions that are offered to you in a row: look at the guidebook and a map on the road, look around when you arrive at the place, and if the impressions are not enough, buy a couple more walks in remarkable places. They can sometimes turn out to be more expensive, and there will be no Russian-speaking guide - but what is that compared to the boredom and fatigue of a day of sightseeing, which is packed to capacity? The main thing here is to be the master of the situation. After all, if you're lucky, in any city you can discover amazing routes and sights hitherto unknown to Ukrainians.

The schedule of any excursion trip is rather harsh, and if you decide to leave the group, you must notify the accompanying person in advance. In any case, check with him the phone numbers and addresses of hotels along the route. If you are behind the group or find yourself in a situation - immediately contact the police and ask to send you to the Ukrainian consulate, where you should be assisted.

Now about the always nasty, but nevertheless possible emergency. The places where the “attention!” Signal should light up in your head include all train stations, bus stations and tourist gathering places - this is where all sorts of crooks can get involved in gambling and rob you as sticky, or simply “cut off” your wallet.

And a few more tips - "light gait".

Shoes ... An excursion tourist is a creature wandering for hours on foot, so no pins and hoof-like "martins": soft comfortable shoes - and no problems.

Money ... You cross several countries - somewhere you stay for three hours, somewhere for two days. It is clear that a Ukrainian carries his cash in "green", so he should attend to small bills in case of a stop in a country that he will leave in a couple of hours: in some Poland, he is unlikely to be given change from a stolnik in dollars when exchanging money - and that will he do with zlotys in Germany?

Age and weight of the excursionist ... Travel agencies, as a rule, do not advise those who are of significant weight (clothing size more than 56), high growth - about two meters (this is a reservation for those traveling by bus, who have nowhere to turn their legs), old years - more than 70 years old to go on sightseeing tours, or too young - less than 5 years old. The listed circumstances are capable of poisoning any excursion in such a way that it will not seem like a little.

And the most important advice that should be given to everyone hungry for the beauty and sights of the world is where to go for them. But today's Ukrainian tourist does not really believe in the press, but the opinion of relatives, friends, neighbors is the main expert assessment.

The favorite of excursion tourism is Europe. Any Ukrainian can get there either by train or by bus.

Bus tours

Among the offers of travel companies, one of the main directions, especially during the recession of the so-called "high season", is the organizationbus tours in Europe ... These are exciting journeys lasting from two days to two weeks along the chosen route. There are a great variety of route options, and everyone will find something interesting for themselves among them. This andweekend tours to Prague and Warsaw , and travel to citiesItaly, France, and romantic trips to Venice. For the holidays ( New Year, Christmas) are organized by bustours according to a special program ... A particularly interesting and at the same time inexpensive option are tours for schoolchildren with visits to Prague, Paris, Rome, etc., timed to coincide with school holidays.

excursion management tourism

Excursion (cognitive) tourism is one of the varieties of the tourism industry, travel in order to get acquainted with the monuments of history and culture, natural attractions, museums, theaters, traditions of peoples in a certain territory.

Accordingly, domestic excursion tourism is one of the varieties of the tourism industry of a given country, traveling within this country in order to get acquainted with its historical and cultural monuments, natural attractions, museums, theaters, and folk traditions.

The activity of excursion tourism is the organization of tours of a historical, cultural, educational orientation.

Such tours are developed by travel agencies and operators and can represent various topics depending on the range of interests of potential tourists. For example, it can be literary tours to places of life of famous poets and writers, historical tours to places associated with certain events of the past. Tours with the study of the architectural features of cities and countries, folklore tours, tours with visits to art galleries, as well as tours of any other topic that are interesting to a certain circle of people are also very popular.

The organization of excursion tourism can be carried out in two main directions - these are the so-called stationary tours, which are designed for tourists to stay in one city, as well as routed tours, which involve visiting several cities on a predetermined schedule.

Typically stationary tourist routes suggest a detailed study of the sights of one city.

Routed tours are designed so that the visited cities are close to each other, so that the travels take a minimum of time, and they are not so tiring.

Excursion tourism includes many programs for the choice of tourists. If a route tour is organized, the guide travels with the group, or, as an option, in each city visited, tourists are met by a professional guide who lives in the given country and specializes in a particular topic. As a rule, such tours provide free time for self-study of each individual city visited - from half a day to a whole day if the stop time is more than three days.

Stationary tours, in turn, provide more free time, as well as a more widely organized leisure program, which may include various creative meetings, national holidays, visiting restaurants with a variety of cuisine, including national cuisine, visiting exhibition halls and tasting centers.

Excursion service

This is the organization and provision of excursion services that satisfy the needs of a person in familiarizing himself with spiritual and moral values, in the accumulation of knowledge, including professional, in the mode of free choice of objects, methods and means of cognition.

Excursion service allows you to convey to the consumer (excursionist, tourist) a complex of knowledge on history, culture, geography, ethnography, ecology, economics, etc. engineering and other attractions, there is a satisfaction of the needs of the individual in the knowledge of the surrounding reality.

The selectivity of a person in the choice of excursion services is subconscious. The excursionist (tourist) chooses those excursion services that satisfy several needs at the same time, i.e. have functional completeness. So, visiting a suburban excursion, its participants not only satisfy the need for cognition, but also, in combination with emotional and intellectual stress, eliminate the deficit of movement, increase the efficiency of information exchange in the process of communicating with each other. Thus, excursion service can be considered not only as part of a comprehensive tourist service, but also as an independent type of service, the purpose of which is to satisfy the requests and needs of excursionists (tourists) in understanding the surrounding reality.

Considering the excursion service as a result of the activities of the tourist and excursion enterprises of the system organized recreation, it should be borne in mind that the complex of tasks of excursion services includes the organization of recreation, trips and travels with visits to historical, cultural, natural and other objects.

Only exciting trips can give unforgettable experience and sensations, and will also help to diversify our life. Therefore, many people, with the aim of resting from everyday worries, go to other countries to gain new strength.Sometimes rest can be combined with the acquisition of new knowledge and useful information, which you can learn by participating in various orientation programs. Among tourists, excursion tourism has recently gained special popularity, which is a wide variety of hikes, trips and travels, the purpose of which is to familiarize themselves with the monuments of architecture, nature or important sights of the country. Today this type of tourism is considered the most popular among all other destinations.

According to statistics, most people go on trips with the purpose of sightseeing, in second place is nature tourism. Depending on the required time, excursion tourism can last for different times. And if you urgently need credit cards for travel, the kreditka.net website will quickly help you in obtaining a credit card.

Short-term trips usually last no longer than one day, and trips to get acquainted with the local attractions of a certain region last several days or weeks, they can be called sightseeing tours. Any excursion tourism, regardless of its type and duration, is characterized by richness and exoticism. In order to learn more about a particular city of interest, to study its historical and cultural achievements, you need to go on a sightseeing trip.

This type of tourism was created specifically for people who are unacceptable for passive relaxation on the beach under the scorching sun or visiting SPA salons with relaxing procedures. Sightseeing tourism most often consists of visiting several cities in the same country or individual countries, including orientation programs, air travel, train and bus trips. A large number of such tours are aimed at visiting the countries of Western Europe, which is associated with free movement in the countries of the Schengen zone.

The most common are excursion tours around Europe, going on which travelers have the opportunity to get acquainted with the cult sights. But it should be remembered that it is necessary to have the appropriate preparedness, which implies the presence of the necessary comfortable and comfortable shoes and financial support, without which such a trip would not be able to take place at all.

Each of the countries has its own interest for lovers of educational travel. That is why excursion tourism is very often also called cultural and educational tourism, which by its nature is very closely related to many other types of outdoor activities.

Bus tours are directly in close connection with any type of tourism, since people are transported using this transport. It can be organized not only according to the cultural places of the countries, but also according to holy sources. In this case, excursion programs will be combined with religious tourism. Especially popular and frequently offered travel agencies bus tours across Europe began. The geography of the countries chosen for travel does not have any restrictions, so they can be either close to the tourist's place of residence or very distant.

Various areas of human activity can cause an irresistible desire and genuine interest in this type of tourism. The development of culture, the depth of centuries-old history, the presence of distinctive art and architecture are of particular importance in choosing a country for a trip.
