Which of the following best describes "mass tourism"?

Traveling in small, exclusive groups
High-volume travel to popular destinations
Customized and personalized travel experiences
Travel focused on cultural immersion

The correct answer is: High-volume travel to popular destinations

Mass tourism is best characterized by high-volume travel to popular destinations. This form of tourism typically involves large numbers of tourists visiting the same locations, often during peak seasons. It is driven by the availability of affordable transportation and accommodations, making it accessible to a wider audience. Destinations that experience mass tourism often include iconic landmarks, beaches, and major cities, where services and infrastructure are scaled to handle the influx of visitors. In contrast, traveling in small, exclusive groups focuses on personalized experiences with limited participants, while customized and personalized travel emphasizes tailored experiences that cater to individual preferences. Travel that prioritizes cultural immersion is geared towards deeper engagement with local traditions and communities, differing significantly from the high-volume, often more superficial visits characteristic of mass tourism.
