#social tourism: providing access to leisure activities and holidays for all (low-income groups and people with disabilities).
#local tourism: discovering your own town and the surrounding area within a radius of around 100 km from your home.
#business tourism: all economic activities linked to individual or group travel for professional purposes.
#cultural tourism: discovering the cultural heritage and way of life of a region and its inhabitants (visits to natural sites, architectural tourism, but also religious tourism, gastronomic tourism, etc.).
