PURPOSE BUILT AREA
YOU WILL NEED TO CONSIDER ALL OF THE ABOVE TYPES FOR YOUR FIRST ASSIGNMENT.

12. COASTAL/SEASIDE
BEAUTIFUL FAR AWAY BEACHES ARE A HUGE REASON FOR LONG HAUL TRAVEL AND COUPLE WITH A HOT CLIMATE, OFTEN IN OUR WINTER SEASON, THIS IS WHY MANY TOURISTS CHOOSE LONG HAUL DESTINATIONS.

13. CITIES
CITIES CAN BE VISITED AS PART OF A TOUR OR FOR A SHORT BREAK AND MANY OF THE MOST POPULAR CITIES ARE A LONG HAUL FLIGHT AWAY FROM THE UK.

14. PURPOSE BUILT
THERE ARE MANY PURPOSE BUILT ATTRACTIONS AROUND THE WORLD THAT ARE THE REASON FOR PEOPLE TO TRAVEL LONG HAUL.
SOME DESTINATIONS LIKE LAS VEGAS HAVE BEEN BUILT SOLELY FOR TOURISM.

15. NATURAL
NATURAL DESTINATIONS INCLUDE MOUNTAIN RANGES, RAINFORESTS, RIVERS AND DESERTS AND THEY OFFER A WIDE RANGE OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR TOURISTS TO TRY MANY DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES AROUND THE WORLD.

16. HISTORICAL/CULTURAL
OFTEN IT IS THE HISTORY OR CULTURE OF A REGION THAT IS APPEALING TO TOURISTS AND THERE ARE MANY DESTINATIONS AROUND THE WORLD WHERE MUCH OF THE TOURIST INDUSTRY IS BASED AROUND HISTORY OR CULTURE.
AN EXAMPLE OF THIS IS THE INCA TRAIL IN PERU, SOUTH AMERICA, WHICH HAS DEVELOPED AS A RESULT OF TOURIST FASCINATION WITH THE HISTORY OF PERU AND PARTICULARLY MACHU PICCU
mysteries/machu-picchu-temples

You will have 10 minutes for this activity.

18. HOLIDAY TYPES
WHEN PEOPLE ARE BOOKING A LONG HAUL HOLIDAY, THEY ARE MOST LIKELY TO BE THINKING ABOUT THE TYPE OF HOLIDAY THEY WOULD LIKE. THIS IS WHAT WE CALL VISITOR MOTIVATION.
MANY LONG HAUL HOLIDAYS ARE OFFERED AS A PACKAGE. HOWEVER, PEOPLE WILL ALSO BOOK INDEPENDENTLY AS IT CAN BE CHEAPER AS OFFERS THE TOURIST MORE FLEXIBILITY TO TRAVEL TO A WIDE VARIETY OF PLACES.
TRAVEL AGENTS HAVE SEEN A HUGH RISE IN TAILOR MADE HOLIDAYS FOR LONG HAUL TRAVEL HOWEVER AND MANY PREFER THE SECURITY OF BOOKING VIA AN AGENT.
