Il existe de nombreux types de touristes dans le monde entier, ils peuvent être classés par catégories sociales, démographiques, culturelles, économiques et autres. Chaque type de touriste a des besoins différents, d'où les différents types de tourisme que vous devez connaître en tant que futur professionnel dans ce secteur.

le tourisme culturel
L’un des types de tourisme les plus populaires au monde est le tourisme culturel Pour ce type de tourisme, les voyageurs ont pour lieux de prédilection la visite de certaines destinations particulières afin de découvrir et d'apprendre à connaître une culture particulière. Entre autres activités, la participation à des événements et des festivals, la visite de musées et la dégustation de produits du terroir et de boissons locales.

Le tourisme de luxe
Parmi les différents types de tourisme, le tourisme de luxe s’adjuge une place particulière. Le luxe désigne tout ce qui peut être obtenu, ce qui est différencié, unique et exclusif... Avec ce type de tourisme, l'accent est plutôt mis sur la valeur qui est mesurée à travers l'expérience du consommateur.

Le tourisme médical
Le tourisme de santé ou encore le tourisme hospitalier consiste à se faire soigner dans un autre pays, pour des raisons économiques ou pour bénéficier des soins à bas prix qui ne sont disponibles qu'à l'étranger.

Le tourisme esthétiques
Les voyages pour des soin de beauté spécialisés sont une tendance en pleine évolution. A l'opposé du tourisme médical, Le tourisme de santé consiste à visiter des centres de beauté pour un maquillage sur catalogue, des chirurgies esthétiques spécialisées ou encore un traitement de beauté exotique ou tout particulièrement un remède à base de plantes pour lutter contre le vieillissement.

Le tourisme urbain
Comme son nom l'indique, c'est l'urbain dans sa dimension architecturale qui est à l'honneur dans ce type de tourisme. De multiples activités touristiques s'offrent aux voyageurs dans lesquelles la ville est la principale destination et le lieu d'intérêt. Cette forme de tourisme est relativement ancienne et très complexe. Les villes ont toujours été la destination de nombreux voyages et déplacements. Le tourisme dans les villes est fortement lié à leur croissance et au développement technologique (routes, transports, chemins de fer).

Le tourisme rural
De plus en plus prisé par de nombreux touristes, ce type de tourisme à le vent en poupe. La raison! Le paysage rural qui déroule sa panoplie de lieux exotiques loin des zones urbanisées. Citons entre autres et non des moindres les parcs nationaux, les forêts, les zones rurales et les zones de montagne. Ce tourisme est lié au concept de tourisme durable, aux espaces verts et aux formes de tourisme généralement écologique. Il se distingue ainsi du type précédent qui représente une autre facette du tourisme grandeur nature.

Le tourisme de formation
Le tourisme de formation peut être défini comme un tourisme qui un pour but l'apprentissage éducatif, l'acquisition de connaissances (historiques, culturelles, sociales), d'une langue étrangère...

Le tourisme gastronomique
Ce type désigne les voyages effectués vers des destinations où la nourriture et les boissons locales sont les principales motivations du voyage. Estimation de la taille du marché mondial. Le tourisme culinaire tend à être en grande partie une activité de tourisme domestique, les consommateurs se rendant dans des endroits où ils peuvent manger et boire des produits spécifiques (généralement locaux).

Le tourisme durable
Un tourisme qui tient pleinement compte de ses impacts économiques, sociaux et environnementaux actuels et futurs, en répondant aux besoins des visiteurs, des professionnels, de l’environnement et des communautés d’accueil. Contrairement aux autres types de tourisme, celui-ci vise l'équilibre entre les trois piliers du développement durable dans la production et réalisation d'activités touristiques.

Le tourisme montagnard
Le tourisme de montagne désigne l'ensemble des activités de pleine nature liées aux massifs montagneux. Il est le plus souvent associé au tourisme sportif, à cause des sports d'hiver et d'activités sportives comme le rafting, le trekking ou la randonnée en été.

Le tourisme balnéaire (tourisme bleu)
Le tourisme maritime fait partie des nombreux types de tourisme qui profitent aux pays riverains de la mer. Il repose sur la participation des touristes et des visiteurs à des activités de loisirs et de vacances actives et passives ou à des voyages sur (ou dans) les eaux côtières, leur littoral et leur arrière-pays immédiat.

Le tourisme d'aventure
Toutes les activités que les gens font pendant leurs voyages et leurs séjours dans des endroits différents de leur environnement habituel. Le divertissement, les affaires et la santé sont quelques-uns des motifs pouvant motiver cette activité touristique. Il s’agit d’une activité qui implique de voyager dans une région éloignée ou selon un plan dans lequel des événements imprévus peuvent survenir.

Le tourisme religieux ou spirituel
Ce type de tourisme n'est pas nouveau. Les gens se rendent sur des sites religieux. Mais généralement, ces voyages étaient réservés aux personnes issues des plus hautes sphères de la société. Aujourd'hui, le tourisme religieux est un marché de niche, les gens se déplaçant dans leur pays et à l'étranger pour visiter spécifiquement des destinations religieuses en raison de leurs croyances.

we are transported to the ancient city of Timbuktu in Mali, where a traditional Moorish door stands as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the region. The door, adorned with intricate carvings and exquisite details, serves as a gateway into history itself. As our eyes wander over the photograph, we can't help but be drawn to the craftsmanship that went into creating this masterpiece. Every curve and pattern tells a story of centuries-old traditions passed down through generations. It is a true work of art that reflects the skill and dedication of its creators. The warm hues captured in this image evoke a sense of nostalgia and mystery. They remind us that behind this magnificent door lies an enchanting world waiting to be explored - one filled with tales from distant lands and vibrant cultures. This photograph not only showcases architectural beauty but also offers us glimpses into the soul of Timbuktu. It reminds us that despite being located in one of Africa's most remote regions, it has been an important center for trade, scholarship, and Islamic culture since medieval times........

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐛, 𝐦𝐨𝐢 𝐞𝐭 𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐫𝐞

Le samedi dernier, nous avons participé à notre traditionnelle rencontre littéraire mensuelle à Widoo Design. Cette initiative salutaire de ma marraine, Massira Touré, nous permet de nous retrouver entre passionnés de livres pour partager nos lectures du mois et profiter de commencer le mois en beauté, loin des tracas des bureaux, en agréable compagnie.

Ce mois-ci, mon ami Chab Touré, dès son arrivée, m'a dit : "Yehia, j’ai lu un livre incroyable ce mois et je voudrais que tu le lises." Je lui ai répondu que ce serait avec grand plaisir. Nous avons ensuite continué à discuter.

Lors de la présentation des livres, Chab a magnifiquement présenté le sien : « Horowitz et mon père » d’Alexis Salatko. Il faut dire que Chab a un don incroyable pour parler des livres, c’est un véritable passionné. À l’écouter, on ne peut que vouloir lire encore et encore.

J’ai ramené le livre à la maison, pressé, et j’ai commencé à le dévorer. Laissez-moi vous dire que j’ai été tout simplement bouleversé.

Je ne sais pas raconter comme Chab, mais voilà : c’est l’histoire de Dimitri, racontée par son fils, un homme promis à un bel avenir, pianiste talentueux et premier devant un certain Horowitz. Mais voilà qu’une guerre éclate et chamboule tout.

Dimitri perd son frère, talentueux danseur. Il quitte la Russie pour la France et sa mère lui met une pression f***e pour qu’il se remette véritablement au piano. Il se marie, et sa mère, qui a misé tous ses espoirs de grandeur et tous ses rêves sur le seul fils qui lui reste, ne sait plus où donner de la tête.

Pendant ce temps, son ancien rival Horowitz conquiert le monde, devenu très célèbre, les journaux ne cessent de parler de lui.

Et voilà que notre histoire débute, celle de deux génies du piano : celui qui joue dans le silence de sa maison pour sa famille et celui qui joue dans les grandes salles du monde. Sans se voir, les deux artistes, rivaux à vie, écrivent cette belle histoire.

Pour Dimitri, c’est des frustrations, c’est le silence, c’est la peur et surtout une vie dans des conditions extrêmement difficiles malgré l’amour de sa femme et de son fils.

Sa mère ne cesse de lui rappeler qu’il est meilleur que l’autre et qu’il ne manque que peu pour qu’il obtienne la gloire à travers son art.

L’histoire continue de façon magistrale avec une écriture d’une grande simplicité, mais surtout des enchaînements qui accrochent tout lecteur.

Je l’ai fini hier, triste par la fin, triste pour les deux artistes, mais surtout submergé par des questions : Le talent à lui seul suffit-il ?

Quel est le mystère des destinées ? Sommes-nous plus ou moins méritants que les autres ? Nos actions sont-elles ce qui nous mène là où nous sommes ? Sommes-nous prêts à supporter la noirceur et le sacrifice derrière le succès ? Qu’est-ce qu’une vie heureuse ? Une femme et un enfant ? De l’argent, la célébrité ?

Et dans tout ça, où nous situons-nous ? Sommes-nous Dimitri ou Horowitz dans notre propre histoire ? Et d’ailleurs, est-ce que tout cela a un sens ?

Je me suis posé énormément de questions et j’ai pensé encore à mon ami Chab qui m’a remis ce grand livre, à son bonheur quand il l’a présenté et à toute la générosité avec laquelle il me l’a remis. Je me suis dit : "Yehiya, tu es vraiment l’homme le plus chanceux du monde."

➡️this is Mali ✅ former African civilization. Many old families in West Africa have collections of private libraries dating from the 8th century AD 11,000 in private collections in the Republic during this time in Timbuktu, Mali, there are about 700,000 pounds survivors. Also in the Mauritanian cities of Chinguetti and Oudane have a total of 3,450 medieval books written by hand and 6000 books surviving in the other city of Walata. Most scholars of Timbuktu knew much more than their counterparts in Europe. In the 15th century Timbuktu mathematicians knew the rotation of the planets, knew the details of the eclipse. African scientists knew things we had to wait for nearly 150 to 200 years to find out in Europe before Galileo and Copernicus arriving with these same calculations and that they were evil. ✅

An experience that traces the epic of the great explorers of the past, heading for the mythical city of Timbuktu, the desert gate, the crossroads of nomadic caravans, the unreachable city of 333 saints.

Until the end of the 19th century, Timbuktu still retained its mysterious fame, which made it one of the most mythical and unreachable cities in the Western collective imagination. It was told of ancient treasures and sumptuous kingdoms of gold, but in reality its material greatness had long since vanished. What has remained intact until the present day is its halo of mystery, immediately perceptible among the narrow deserted alleys and its wonderful ancient mosques, behind the secular portals that I hide the inside the houses and under the cobalt blue turbans that reveal only the looks of the Tuaregs, the mysterious “blue men”.

Day 2:

The “desert gate”, with its historic mosques and ancient manuscripts, the Bella camps and the Tuaregs riding their dromedaries.

The bread oven or alforone, the famous woy dungura mee bibi (small woman with a tattooed lip), aptly named. The round bread of Timbuktu, the famous Takoula (the late Mohamedoun Ag Hamani at the Tin - Atten school, centered all his examples on Takula and the late Mohamed Sidamar was called Mohamed Takoula.

In the film Caravane de Nuit Tewfik Farès said that “he who has not tasted the bread of Timbuktu does not know the true taste of bread”.

The quest for morning bread makes the oven a real information center for the latest news of the night and the first news of the day, the premises of Radio -Badjindé news.

17/01/2024





I know the history of the founding of Timbuktu in the 11th century by the Imaghcharen Tuaregs, I read it in history books, I know the history of the Aqît, family of Ahmed Baba settled in this part of the city which took the name of Sankoré, district of the white masters, the history of this university of 25,000 students, I read it in books, I know the history of this mythical, mystical and mysterious city, of this airport of the knowledge of these different conquests, of this violence, of these severed heads exposed to the market of history.

I know the history made of blood, pillaging, theft, violence, r**e, assassination, a history made of stories. I read the prodigious history of this Sahelo-Saharan architecture, of this marvelous craftsmanship, of this prodigious culinary art, yes! I read in history books of saints, scholars, heroes.

I liked these sentences "In Timbuktu the salt comes from the north, the gold comes from the south, the silver comes from the land of white people but the word of God, learned things and pretty tales, we only find in Timbuktu "
and then this other from Sidi Yahia al Andalusi "remember, memory is full of lessons, in its repetitions there is something to quench the thirst of the elite of those who come to drink" and then this other again "TIMBUKTU IS THE MEETING POINT OF THOSE WHO VOGUE BY CANOGUE AND THOSE TRAVELING BY CAMEL",

These famous verses from the one who, like Ismaël diadié in his exile, wrote: "O! You who are going to Gao, make a detour through Timbuktu, whisper my name to my friends and bring them the greeting of the exile who longs for the ground where his family, his friends, his neighbors reside", it is about Ahmed Baba, all this I read in books, the great books of history, a story of which some were the great witnesses . I knew that in the 18th century a mosque had collapsed on about forty scholars, it was the mosque of prosperity, djaman hana (About my accomplice Tunbutu woy the méhounayeurs and the Bétémouneurs of jaman - hana and all have the jaman hana understood the message, we don't blame anyone, right Mohamed Tita Jean Pierre ALJANNA TUBAABIIJÉ?

In 1985, on February 22, Air Mali's Antonov 24 crashed in Timbuktu, killing 51 of the 52 passengers. During the 2010 maouloud, a stampede killed 16 people near the Djingareiber mosque. I read that...No! I experienced it. I practiced the tarikh es sudan of Abderrahmane sadi, the tarikh el fettach of mahmoud kati, the Tedzkirat al Nissian of the anonymous, the izalat al rayb of boularaf, the turjaman of mohamed mahmoud OULD cheickh, the chronicle of san shirfi, the sa'adat al abadiyya fî zikr 'ulam'a tinbuktul bahiyya by mawlay ahmed baber, I read the Jews of Timbuktu, jawder and the Saadian conquest by Ismaël diadié Haïdara, the history of the pashas, ​​the caids, the askias. I read the diary of a librarian from Timbuktu, a cabin by the water by ismaël diadié Haïdara sorry! I have not read, I have lived, we have seen and experienced the various droughts which have left the Sahel in mourning, filling cemeteries, rebellions sending people into the depths of exile, we have seen Timbuktu fall on April 1st 2012, for 10 months, we rubbed shoulders with death, lived in the proximity of Abou Zayd the killer, Moctar Bel Moctar the one-eyed, iyad ag ghaly and others, we kissed shells, caressed rockets, lay on cartridges, flirted with Kalashnikovs, we saw hands cut off, beards grown, pants shortened (so they only know how to cut?) men and women flogged, men killed.

We did not read, but lived. We are somewhat similar to Hassan Al Wazzan Leo the African. I understand now when Ismaël diadié Haïdara, this dear little brother from childhood, said that we are not born for free in Timbuktu, that we do not live for free in Timbuktu, that we do not come to Timbuktu for free and that our misfortune , for us, it is to have been born here at this moment and to have been there during these gigantic and moving stories which marked a historical turning point, events of which we were privileged witnesses in spite of ourselves. So here we are, faced with the obligation to bear witness, to write, we who have opted for the art of doing nothing, we who are from this Khayyamian school of Timbuktu sublimated by our Aïssa Alamir'idjé in her MINIINI ÑIN GO HALLAL in name of which we claim our hammad'alfintitude, my exceptional young brother with the great pen, chahana Takiou, isn't it?

When you take the trouble to be born, you have to take responsibility for yourself. We followed in the footsteps of Ahmed Baba Soudani, Mohamed Bagayoko Al wangari, Albakkaye Al Kunti, Abul Qasim Al Tuwati, Abou Ishaq Al Sahili and we rubbed shoulders with the Cheickna Boulkher, the sidi Yahia al Wangari , the Mawlay Ahmed Baber, the Mawlay Al

The mud is first collected from the river and brought into town where it is left to mature in great mounds in the streets in front of the houses or in special large vats in front of the mosque.

After around three weeks of fermentation, the mud is mature and ready for plastering onto the walls-this is always done directly by the hand. The night before the rebuilding, the villagers take part in a carnival of singing and dancing known as La Nuit de Veille, or The Waking Night

The whole community of Djenné takes part in the annual repair of the mosque during a festival called Crepissage de la Grand Mosquée. A race is held at the start of the festival to determine who will be the first to deliver the plaster to the mosque.

The Great Mosque of Djenné (Arabic: الجامع الكبير في جينيه) is a large brick or adobe building in the Sudano-Sahelian architectural style. The mosque is located in the city of Djenné, Mali, on the flood plain of the Bani River. The first mosque on the site was built around the 13th century, but the current structure dates from 1907. As well as being the centre of the community of Djenné, it is one of the most famous landmarks in Africa. Along with the "Old Towns of Djenné" it was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1988.

Mali Festivals Tour
We have a very special journey for you. Our festivals tour of Mali will take you to the famous Festival Sur Le Niger in Ségou, where the best musicians from all over the country will perform, as well as the Dogon festival in Bamako. We’ll get the chance to attend many of the events happening around Bamako during this time, including various mask dances from local Dogon villages.
In order to understand the fascinating Malian culture and its colourful mosaic of traditions and peoples, it is necessary to go back to its deepest roots, which originate in the green hills of the Pays Manding, a land steeped in history and ancestral spirituality. But also by immersing oneself in the chaotic contemporaneity of Bamako, with its cultural ferment, its contradictions and its ‘imaginative’ urban decadence. Two sides of the same coin.
A journey into the Malian ancestral culture, between divinations with the throwing of cauris, propitiatory dances of the valiant Bambara hunters and ancient legends sung by the griots. Historical places where Soundjata Keita and General Kamandjan Camara, in the Middle Ages, pronounced the first human rights charter in Africa and performed their heroic deeds, among sacred caves and miraculous rock arches. Enchanting landscapes and waterfalls hidden among the cracks in the rock, valleys of mangoes and wild plants with ther**eutic powers, small mud villages where the inhabitants are said to still possess the occult power to transform themselves into lions.
But also a trip to Bamako, with its incredible cultural attractions, from the Musée National, which houses priceless artefacts from the Djene-Jeno site and votive statuettes from the Tellem era, to the bustling Grande Marché, where you can lose yourself for hours; from the picturesque fe**sh market, amidst bones, animal skins and lucky charms of all kinds (gris-gris), to the recycling market, amidst an acoustic horror vacui, which brings recycled metals back to life; or the meeting with the marionette player/artist Yaya Coulibaly, who guards the largest collection of marionettes in Mali and passes on this ancient theatrical, sculptural and ther**eutic art around the world.
