Travel: Unconventional Tourism 
New kinds of tourism have been gaining interest and significance lately. One example is 
ecological tourism (eco-tourism); a responsible form of travel that aims to reduce the negative 
impact it has on 
pristine
environments and 
indigenous
communities. Also, space tourism is 
expected to become a billion dollar industry in the next decade. Virgin Atlantic plans to begin 
flights to space in 2013. (322 words)
