1. ____________ is a type of niche tourism involving exploration or travel to remote areas, where the traveller should expect the unexpected. It is rapidly growing in popularity as tourists seek unusual holidays, different from the typical beach vacation. According to the global Adventure Travel Trade Association, it may be any tourist activity including two of the following three components: a physical activity, a cultural exchange or interaction.

2. ___________ is a form of walking, undertaken with the specific purpose of exploring and enjoying the scenery. It usually takes place on trails in rural or wilderness areas.

3. ___________ (also tramping or trekking or bushwalking in some countries) combines hiking and camping in a single trip. A backpacker hikes into the backcountry to spend one or more nights there, and carries supplies and equipment to satisfy sleeping and eating needs.

4. ___________ is the sport, hobby or profession of walking, hiking, trekking and climbing up mountains. It is also sometimes known as alpinism, particularly in Europe. While it began as an all-out attempt to reach the highest point of unclimbed mountains, it has branched into specializations addressing different aspects of mountains & may now be said to consist of 3 aspects: rock-craft, snow-craft and skiing, depending on whether the route chosen is over rock, snow or ice. All require great athletic and technical ability, and experience is also a very important part of the matter.

5. ____________ is a style of vacation which is normally on farms. This may include the chance to help with farming tasks during the visit. It is often practiced in wine growing regions, as in Italy and Spain. In America, it is wide-spread and includes any farm open to the public at least part of the year. Tourists can pick fruits and vegetables, ride horses, taste honey, learn about wine, shop in farm gift shops and farm stands for local and regional produce or hand-crafted gifts, and much more.

6. ____________ is an alternative form of cultural tourism, which aims to promote the passion for historical-archaeology and the conservation of historical sites.

7. ____________ is a leisure travel activity which involves touring, exploring or sightseeing by bicycle. Bicycle tourism can be likened to backpacking on a bicycle.

8. ____________ is a type of cultural tourism that promotes independent bookstores as a group travel destination. It started as a grassroots effort to support locally owned and operated bookshops, many of which have struggled to compete with large bookstore chains and online retailers. The project was initiated in 2003 by Larry Portzline, a writer and college instructor in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania who led "bookstore road trips" to other cities and recognized its potential as a group travel niche and marketing tool. The movement based on this type encourages schools, libraries, reading groups, and organizations of all sizes to create day-trips and literary outings to cities and towns with a concentration of independent bookstores. It also encourages local booksellers to attract bibliophiles to their communities by employing bookstore tourism as an economic development tool. Others benefiting include local retailers, restaurants, bus companies, and travel professionals. The effort also provides organizations with an outreach opportunity to support reading and literacy.

9. _____________ is the subset of tourism concerned with a country or region's culture, especially its arts. It generally focuses on traditional communities who have diverse customs, unique form of art and distinct social practices, which basically distinguishes it from other types/forms of culture.

It can also include tourism in rural areas showcasing the traditions of indigenous cultural communities (i.e. festivals, rituals), and their values and lifestyle. It is generally agreed that cultural tourists spend substantially more than standard tourists do. This form of tourism is also becoming generally more popular throughout Europe.

10. ______________ or Grief tourism is tourism involving travel to sites associated with death and suffering.

14. _____________ is a type of niche tourism involving visits or travel to botanical gardens and places which are significant in the history of gardening.

15. ______________ is a branch of tourism oriented towards the cultural heritage of the location where tourism is occurring.

It attracts New Age believers, primarily middle-aged women, and involves tours and travel to "spiritual hotspots" on the Earth. Destinations are often ancient sites where there is a mystery concerning their origin or purpose, such as The Pyramids of Egypt, or Stonehenge in England.
