If we list the types of tourism, we might spend a long time. Each of them is interesting. Although the types of entertainment tourism are the majority, there are also those who like the heavy and serious types among them. These people are mainly scientists, creative people.
The type that these people use the most is Scientific or Congress tourism.
This is a type of tourism that includes travel aimed at participating in various congresses, symposiums, and meetings.
Congress (in Latin means meeting, gathering) - a meeting, gathering of heads of states, regions, organizations, or representatives, as well as a type of international conferences.
Symposium (in Latin means banquet) - a meeting held on any scientific issue (mainly International Problems).
Participants in international events make up 6-7 percent of the total number of foreign tourists.
Per capita income (per tourist) in congress tourism is higher. Therefore, many countries of the world take certain measures to hold international meetings in their countries.
Scientific tourism is the travel of people for the purpose of scientific research, education, and learning. This is mainly done to attend conferences, seminars, trainings, and other scientific events held among professionals and students.
Congress tourism also brings economic benefits to the cities where the tours are organized and is a significant source of income for local businesses. This type of tourism has a significant impact on the tourism sector of cities that organize large events.
Both types of tourism contribute to the establishment of high-level professional relationships, the acquisition of new knowledge, and the development of global cooperation.
