29 Examples of Niche Tourism

From Exhibitionist Imperial Baths to Paranormal Nightmarish Hotels

— May 24, 2014 — World
There is nothing wrong with wanting to make the most of your vacation time, which is why people with unique interests might indulge in niche tourism. While some interests, like environmentalism, are becoming less niche and are becoming more mainstream, other hobbies are still considered a little strange. Whether you are a huge Batman fan or are really into social media, there is a trip out there that will suit your needs.

One area of niche tourism surrounds social good, such a volunteer trip for the whole family where you get immersed in the local culture of a developing country. Others have to do with particular activities, like eating chocolate or smoking certain substances. Niche tourism can also be related to the place you are interesting in travelling to, including the moon or typically undesirable locales.
