Thematic tourism has an educational and cultural role, but it also represents a unique way of spending leisure time, with many Romanian tourists preferring to engage in activities within their area of interest and try new experiences, stated Alice Udrea, managing partner of Qualis Travel.
Alice Udrea specified that recently, tourists have been choosing yachting holiday packages, food & wine tours, participation in various events, practicing sports not available at home – such as canyoning, kayaking, kiteboarding, yachting, climbing, off-road, etc., historical tours or segments like art and architecture, and tours for cyclists and motorcyclists.
Among the chosen destinations are Paris or Budapest for the gastronomic and wine tourism experience, with tours and tastings at the world’s most famous estates and wineries. Additionally, yachting vacations and parties have become very popular in areas such as Greece, Italy, Malta, Croatia, or exotic destinations like Thailand.
