Theme park tourism typically means tourists visit a city or a town with a group of friends, family or alone where popular theme parks are located. The purpose behind this form of tourism varies from enjoyment, amusement, entertainment to education of that particular theme park. The theme park is the sole reason for tourism trips to many destinations and it is an essential element of tourism.
Apart from amusing the people at a single location, theme park tourism allows the tourist to enter in a fantasy world through exhibits, rides, lodging accommodations and restaurants. Theme parks are different than the amusement parks not only because they have themes but because they attract a huge number of tourists across the globe due to the massive scale of operations.
The ride of rollercoaster where tourists grip the handrail very hard causes the muscles to tense up when the body is thrown around. When this action occurs the heart level shoots up resulting in burning the calories. Theme parks are usually spread across vast areas of land. When the travellers roam around in theme parks unknowingly they walk a lot which again burns a lot of calories. Theme parks are great stress relievers.
They also help improve one’s mood. The various rides make the tourists happy and excited. For instance when rollercoaster rides reach a higher altitude endorphins are released. This hormone which is associated with brain functioning makes the tourists alert and more energised. Another important benefit of theme parks is that they help people overcome their fears. Many tourists have a phobia of crowds and altitude.
These stresses and fears harm the immune system. However, theme parks help tourists gain confidence and encourage them to conquer their fears and enjoy life. Theme parks are the best tourism option that can be undertaken with family and friends. It is a great way to spend time with loved ones and create memories with them while experiencing a thrilling adventure.
