The Adventurer wants to explore wild places like the White Sands National Monument
The Adventurer
We often refer to the tours we arrange as “adventures,” and there’s a certain type of traveler that takes that word literally. Adventurers don’t just go on trips — they go on thrill-seeking journeys in pursuit of great experiences they can’t get at home.
The Adventurers in your group are the ones that are always wandering off. Though they have signed up for a group tour, they are dying to break away from the pack and go exploring on their own. As such, they crave free time on group trips and are happy to entertain themselves in a new city without the help of a guide.
Many Adventurers also enjoy the outdoors and are eager to get involved in physical activity while on a trip. These folks will happily engage in hiking, rafting, bungee jumping and other “extreme” activities that have previously fallen outside the boundaries of traditional group tourism.
The Vacationer
In every group of travelers, you’ll find a few Vacationers. As opposed to other travel personalities who have specific goals when they travel, Vacationers are just looking for a good time. They’re satisfied with a postcard, a T-shirt and an ice cream cone.
The Vacationers in your group are the ones who love to shop — they want to stop at every single gift shop, souvenir store and roadside stand along the way, and they’ll always find something to buy. Vacationers also enjoy passive entertainment when they travel — attractions like dinner shows and musical revues are well suited to their personalities.
Vacationers may be mildly interested in seeing special sites or hearing a good story, but they’re more motivated by the general fun of taking a trip. In the end, they’re not interested in working too hard, getting too dirty or paying too much attention. They just want to have fun.
