Travel trends 2011
 Rest - it is an integral part of most people's lives. And tourism, in turn, is a form of recreation. What part of the globe have become the most popular among tourists in 2011?

One of the main tourist trends this year is combined hiking trails. These trips allow travelers to visit once in two or more countries. It looks quite logical in light of the fact that many exotic countries are located far away, and significant cost item is the flight to a distant place. So why not visit several countries, which are located next to each other, but far away from your residence.

Examples of such routes - India and Nepal, Argentina, Peru and Chile, Australia and New Zealand.

It may be noted the growing interest among tourists to group tours to exotic places such as the Dominican Republic, Cuba, Mauritius, Fiji, Jamaica.

Pretty much interest among tourists in 2011, the Middle East. If, specifically, it resorts United Arab Emirates, as well as some other countries of the Persian Gulf.

Also interesting is the Italian city of Turin. This year Italy celebrates the 150th anniversary of the unification of the country, and in Turin planned many activities in this regard.

The appearance of sharks off the coast of Egypt and crisis economic situation in Greece made these countries less popular. But the increased attractiveness of resorts in Spain and the Balkan countries.

Another trend in tourism in 2011 was to reduce the rest time per trip. Many began to leave to rest for 4-5 days several times a year.

Began to develop more intensively train travel. "Blue Train" you can deliver from Cape Town to Pretoria, along the way learn about other interesting cities in South Africa. "Orient Express" allows visitors to see the city of Southeast Asia, from Singapore and Bangkok ending. "Orient Express Venice Simplton" will take you from Venice to London, and along the way you will see many attractions in Western Europe.
Although there are alternatives - to pass along the same routes on regular trains. Have to travel without guides, but cheaper.
