Alternative tourism combines tourist products or individual tourist services, different from mass tourism by means of supply, organization and the human resources involved.{{citation needed|date=July 2018}} It is often referred to as "trendy,” replacing other semantical terms such as "different" or "other tourism.” Other examples of different terms include "intelligent" or "motivated tourism.” In addition, "anti-tourism" or "participative tourism" are some others.

Terminology critiques

Since the term alternative is ambiguous, there are numerous critical remarks stating that the concept is only " (...) a fashionable idea among those who are dissatisfied with the nature of mass tourism (...)".[3] The critics state, that alternative tourism lacks a clear definition of what is the tourism style alternative to. The origins of the term can be found in two alternating concepts:

  • Rejection of modern mass consumerism
  • Concern about the social impact in third-world countries

Others express their critical opinions regarding the term as fetish-adjective, miracle-word, mythical-term.
