Ethnic Tour
Saturday, January 2nd, 2010Nostalgic or ethnic tour is a wonderful type of exotic rest. During such trips, tourists learn some ethnic population groups, their life, features of culture, special features of their way of life etc. It is a good way to get more information about your roots or to study history, if you are a scientist. Thanks to such innovation in the travel companies, many people even found the distant relatives in other countries. Sometimes people want to visit places where their fathers and grandfathers lived, or if they were evicted from their house, their land. Now you understand why the second name of such tours is a nostalgic tour, exactly because the nostalgia calls the most of people to learn different culture instead of a rest on a sea waves.
There are many immigrants in the world, let’s sort all migrations on forced and voluntary for convenience. The migrations of all the nations are done because of force in the history of every country happened more than once. There are military, political, religious reasons. The reason of voluntary migration can be the business factor, because people wanted a better life in other countries, lands, continents.
Thousands of Norwegians and Irish migrated to Iceland and Greenland in due time. A long time ago pilgrims left their native land and went to America by religious reasons. All World wars have initiated many waves of migration. Germans of the Volga region for the last two hundred years have changed not a single country, changing of laws turn them out to Russia, to Kazakhstan, and now back to Germany.
It is possible to enumerate many migratory movements of different nations, but we’ll turn the conversation to another subject. Mass creation of ethnic (nostalgic) tours gives you something to think about. Of course, this is a possibility to understand a life of your ancestors, to trace your ancestry and, probably, to choose a new inhabitation, to come back home.
At the beginning of the 90-s nostalgic tours have started to appear in Russia. Thousands of tourists-Finns came here to visit a native land of their gaffers. Basically these tourists are old people who want to visit places of their youth. During the Second World War, half a million of Finns have left the Leningrad region and have departed either to Finland, or to Sweden. Now many of their offsprings arrive to feel their past life.
For realization of these dreams special tour agencies have been created. “Matka Maailma OY”, “FinnSovtours” offer such trips for Finns.
Also it is possible to mark out such type of nostalgic trip, as visiting relatives and friends. But this type of tourism won’t do for everyone, only for those, who has genetic relatives in the countries you go.
