    Let’s wrap up:

    When a man’s desire to travel is due to his social nature, he feels more comfortable on a
    group tour. It allows him to develop friendships that often last for years. Travel increases his
    sociability and makes him more interesting to himself and others.

    Tourism is concerned with the movement and contact between two people in different
    geographical locations. It involves the confrontation of different cultures, ethnic groups,
    groups, lifestyles, languages. The degree of conflict between the host and the guest depends
    on the similarity of their standard of living and the degree to which tourists adapt to local
    standards. The socio-economic variables affecting travel include age, income and social
    status, education and family life.

    There are four types of tourism roles: organized mass tourism, individual mass tourism,
    explorer and drifter. Because they are closely linked to the tourist establishment, organized
    and individual mass tourists are called institutionalized tourist roles.

    Social tourism-Social tourism is making tourism available to poor people who would otherwise
    not be able to afford to travel for their education or recreation. It includes youth hostels and
    low-priced holiday accommodation run by church and voluntary organizations, trade unions
    or public-owned enterprises in the Communist era. In May 1959, at the Second Congress of
    Social Tourism in Austria, Walter Hunsicker proposed the following definition: "Social tourism
    is a type of tourism practiced by low-income groups that is made possible and facilitated by
    completely separate and therefore easily recognizable services."

    Social tourism is synonymous with solidarity and support for low-income population groups.
