Niche Tourism

Niche tourism focuses on areas of interest that are attractive to a relatively small number of people, therefore being able to maintain its uniqueness. Niche tourism includes culinary tourism, cultural tourism, ecotourism, geotourism, heritage tourism, religious tourism, war tourism and wildlife tourism amongst others. In recent years there has been a dramatic rise in ecotourism, for example, that involves visiting fragile, pristine and relatively undisturbed areas intended as a low-pact and small-scale alternative to standard, mass tourism.
