Fitness tourism originated in the 70s of the twentieth century and is gaining popularity with each summer season. Tour operators offer a variety of options to spend a vacation with benefits not only for the soul, but also for health - a yoga tour in Bali, a bike tour in Tuscany or the Swiss Alps, a diving school in the Maldives and much more.
If you prefer a calm contemplative vacation aimed at improving both body and spirit, choose yoga tourism. On a yoga tour, you can go to Cyprus to awaken your Kundalini energy, or do yoga for weight loss in Tuapse.
Also on the list of countries for tourists who dream of immersing themselves in the mysterious world of yoga are Russia, Turkey, India, Bali and Thailand. The daily program includes the practice of asanas, mudras, pranayamas, meditation and Ayurvedic menus. Classes are held outdoors under the guidance of qualified teachers. Free time can be devoted to acquaintance with the culture of the country and SPA procedures.
Thrill seekers will prefer extreme fitness tourism: a diving safari in Egypt, a mountaineering school in Sochi, a kite school in Spain or a surf camp in Bali. Beginners learn the basics of sports in groups or individually. The tour price includes accommodation, meals, training and special equipment. In addition to vivid impressions and a significant improvement in physical fitness, tourists who choose this type of recreation acquire new skills and an even tan, inherent in professional divers and surfers. Among the best countries for diving are Australia, Thailand, Malaysia, Maldives, Israel and Egypt.
