Abstract

Recreation is entertaining oneself, through pleasurable activities during leisure times. The term leisure connotes free time at one’s disposal without any obligatory duties. Tourism is a means of accomplishing the objectives of leisure and recreation pursuits. Earlier researchers classified tourism into six types based on its purpose, such as recreation, cultural & religion, sports & adventure, health (spiritual & yoga) and so on. Though recreation is experienced in cultural, sports health and incentive activities, it is isolated conventionally and classified as a separate type of tourism. A field survey has been designed and executed to examine the factors that attract a visitor towards a particular destination and for verifying the aptness of conventional classification. Towards this aim a typical tourist destination, namely the Metropolitan City of Hyderabad, which has all the above classified types of tourism is chosen. These studies revealed that the tourism can actually be classified in to two major categories namely (i) Recreation Tourism and (ii) Non- Recreation Tourism for Business purpose. Further these investigations show that hospitality and accessibility are more vital to attract visitors, rather than the multiplicity of the recreational features provided at any given location.
