Experiential Tourism is a form of tourism in which tourists focus on connecting the history, culture and people of the destination being visited as a means of having an immersive experience. Each presentation will offer a different perspective of the tourist experience at different destinations. This will allow the seminar audience to reflect and discuss this global phenomenon which veers towards a form of tourism which caters for a more meaningful engagement with the host community.
