Origins of social tourism

Tourism as we know it today appeared only in the nineteenth century. At that time, was reserved for an elite of the bourgeoisie, since that laws regulating the work did not include accommodation for the workers, who had to work every day until Sunday. So the possibilities for vacation were limited for the vast majority of citizens.

In 1936, the adoption by the International Labour Organization (ILO) Convention 52 on paid holidays marked the starting point of social tourism. The principle of this agreement is also found in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which states that "everyone has the right to rest, to enjoy leisure, including reasonable limitation of working hours and periodic holidays with pay”.

So we can say that social tourism was born of an ethical requirement by militant whose legitimacy is based on a right, the right to tourism, which is a natural extension of the right to work, rest and paid leave.

Families

Family vacations have changed appreciably in recent decades by the evolution of the family structure, characterized mainly by the size of families was reduced and the increase in the number of single-parent families, but also because of the mobility of families, often related to occupational mobility.

Between supply -related social tourism, which attracts a large number of families, we must mention the holiday villages and other structures of this type of accommodation where some activities suitable for children of different ages exist, and a series of activities meet the needs of families. The site is also a formula that interests a large number of families allowing a privileged contact with nature.

Youth

The youth tourism is a phenomenon that was heavily influenced by the movements of postwar youth, who were born with a purpose of peace. Today, young viajadores (15-25 years) represent more than 20% of international tourist arrivals according to statistics provided by the World Tourism Organization (WTO).

Increasing the level of education, the desire to know other cultures and learn a new language, the recovery of this type of experience in the tourism industry and the development of a range of products and services tailored to young audiences are factors that explain this reality now present on all continents.

The Seniors

Demographic trends of recent years was characterized by a sustained growth rate of the population over 60 years. This reality is explained in part by increased life expectancy, and partly by the falling birth rate, and anger only increase in the future.

People aged 50-55 years are considered seniors (according to sources). This white then includes "young seniors" still active, newly retired and the elderly.

Persons with disabilities or reduced mobility

The barriers that people with disabilities are for the organization and implementation of a tourism trip is not only about architectural barriers, but also some related to negative attitudes and behaviors. Even more than in other areas, it is essential to give training to staff working in the tourism industry to sensitize them to the special needs of people with disabilities, adaptation measures for accessibility, and how to deliver appropriate services to these customers, taking into account different types of disabilities.

Tourism for people with disabilities became an increasingly important market because it is based on a growing demand and interest by the tourism industry due to several factors:

 - The number of people with a disability, and therefore the number of potential customers is very high.

- People with disabilities are traveling with a friend, family member, or a social worker and the number of potential customers can be folded.
