Do you have any special tours?

The main forms of special tourism are cultural tourism, art tourism, folk tourism, study tourism, rural tourism, adventure tourism, eco-tourism, red tourism, industrial tourism, agricultural tourism, self-driving tourism and social tourism.

Modern tourism is the "democratization" pursued by leisure. For example, winter tourism used to be a sport occupied by a few rich people; Riding, boating and shooting are unpopular sports. But the "commercialization" of hobbies and leisure makes this kind of activity available to ordinary people. Many people go abroad to participate in more exciting and exotic activities, such as mountaineering, skating, underwater swimming and horse-drawn carriage travel.
