Best Vacation Deals
Thursday, January 28th, 2010People started to get pooped out of a word “crisis”. It is a good tiredness which forces to search for something new; there are even some innovations in the ways of rest in fashion. We are speaking about industrial tourism, which is dynamite, sure. If you never heard about it, listen!
Industrial tourism is the organization of regular tourist tours on working (or worked) plant facilities. Industrial tourism is a phenomenon. Only in France 1700 companies received tourists on its industrial areas in 2007. The tidal power station in Rance, which annually receives 300 000 tourists is in the lead in this country. Chocolate factory Kedberri in England is visited by 400 000 people a year. In Spain – wine rounds, in France – cheese, in the Netherlands – flowers become a platitude…
For every serious company in USA keeping tourists off is a sign of poor form, they hold dear their reputation. The leader of attendance in Germany is a motor works BMW in the Bavarian Wolfsburg (260 thousand tourists a year).
Modern tourists are «collectors of places». And it is not bad. We are the victims of global speeding-up and standard tourist assortment does not serve our turn. And we want complex impressions. We want to combine rest with education, the convalescent time with excursions, visiting a business conference with sports activity, sight-seeing, and shopping. So, industrial tourism is just what is needed. An ordinary city opens from the unusual side. The products are made “online”, you can touch (and in certain cases help to make) try them on, and buy. Industrial tourism is a good choice for travellers with children. Child at the age of how’s and why’s want to know, what an ice-cream and a chocolate do, before they see it in a supermarket.
Such objects which are brands of concrete cities are the most popular. For example, people always want to see a port complex in Rotterdam or factory “Rolex” in Zurich. The city provides popularity of a brand.
Excursions to Moscow confectionary producing plants are well-known in Russia from a Soviet period. But it is very difficult to get on such excursions. They receive only special visitors and sometimes school groups. It is possible to visit concern “Baltic” in St.-Petersburg, Tula and Chelyabinsk, factory “Crystal” in Moscow.
If you like this type of rest and feel all profits of it, think, what is needed for its organization. As practice shows, financial expenses on the organization of tours to working plant facilities are not catastrophic. And if you know some interesting modes of production, and your staff can show it to every gaper, you can really hit the jackpot! Try to cooperate with civic leaders and establish good relations with them, because anyone can’t fight city hall, and good luck!
