Usually, we are too familiar with forms of recreational and relaxation tourism, enjoying complete moments with loved ones. Shark tourism, suicide tourism, hell tourism,… are unique types of tourism that will surprise and shock you due to their serious nature.
Hell tourism
This unique tour will instill terror in everyone, even if you are a person with a “steel spirit.” Because when participating, tourists will experience death, disasters, or natural calamities firsthand. Participants will visit locations where massacres occurred, sites of mass disasters, or places associated with cursed lands. For example, Poenari Castle in Romania, where the infamous Dracula once lived and was killed.
Ghost hunting tourism
As a famous form of tourism in England, when participating in these trips, you can go in search of and get acquainted with ghosts. To join this tour, you will be taken to an ancient castle, dressed like nobles of the past, and enjoy dinner under the dim light. At the same time, you will hear ghost stories and visit all the rooms in the castle.
Slum tourism
Slum tourism is a type of travel that developed in the 2000s and originated from the desire of people to explore the places where Hip hop culture was initiated and born. Typically, those who want to discover this type of tourism will visit slums in cities like New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, or Detroit, where there are large-scale graffiti artworks, music everywhere, and especially the clothing and lifestyle of the people here also contribute to making this a popular destination for many tourists.
Halal tourism
Halal tourism is a unique form of travel in the world, as when participating in this tour, you will not be allowed to drink alcohol, eat pork, and absolutely have no sexual relations. In addition, men and women are not allowed to bathe together, and tourists are also not permitted to think about homosexual relations, as according to Islam, this is considered one of the sinful thoughts. Although there are many compulsory hobbies, many people still love this form, because when following Islam, they will live according to their faith without affecting those around them. This type of tourism is currently very popular in Morocco and Turkey..
Free Rafting
This type of tourism is not only for those who love adventure but also an opportunity for travelers who want to accept challenges and surpass their own limits. One of the most chosen rivers today is the Plym River. Here, the water flows fiercely, with many rapids and waterfalls, located in the Devonshire region of England. When participating, tourists will be dressed in diving suits and will freely slide on the river. During the journey, tourists must go through a distance of 1 mile filled with many dangers such as: colliding with large rocks, boats getting stuck in large boulders, being swept away by the current, or being pulled into areas with strong currents, causing the whole body to ache or get injured. But no matter how dangerous it is, this type of tourism is loved by many people for the adventure and uniqueness it brings.

Traveling with pigs
Big Major Cay beach is not only famous for its beautiful waters, but you also have the opportunity to swim with the lovely pigs under the cool blue sea.
