Functions, features and classification of excursion

2.The classification of tourist excursions

• Classification represents the distribution of objects, phenomena, concepts into classes, categories, groups, depending on their general attributes.
• The question of excursions classification has always been in the center of the tour guiding professionals and scientists’ attention. The first attempts to solve this problem was made in the end of 20th century. The scientist A. Gerd proposed his variant of classification of the forms of excursion work - the basic purpose is the divisions of excursions into groups and subgroups which have the general character of conducting excursions and which help the tour guide to solve all the issues of the excursion development.
