New Niches for Travel and Tours


There is a new thinking on niches in the travel and tourism arena such as edu-tourism, clustering and swapping packages.

In edu-tourism, tourists learn about a place, its culture and history via homestay or similar programs.

In clustering, specific themes like sports tourism or wellness tourism can be formed.  For example, as Australians like sports in summer they can visit Cebu for summer sports and Japan and Korea can offer winter sports. Malaysia and Indonesia can focus on wellness and health programs as these countries are best known for these.
