The word "tour" evokes direct associations with travel, tourism, flights. The origin comes from the French tournée, which translates as "the journey of artists around the country or locality", that is, touring. "Tournai" is a direct relative of the word "tour" because they have the same root. Let’s take a closer look at all the meanings of this token.
Touring tour
The life of artists, especially popular ones, was hard. They act in shows and programs, give interviews, some can be seen in films. They constantly rehearse and perform at concerts. Almost all the working activities of the stars are carried out in the capital of our country, Moscow. But fans live in all corners of Russia. Therefore, the stars go on tour around the country - this is what a tour is. Those artists that are in demand abroad arrange tours outside of Russia.
Therefore, the question of what is a tour, you can answer that this is a tour of the artist in several cities or countries. By the way, in recent times, cases of sudden fainting and illnesses of artists during such travels have become more frequent. The reason is that the stars literally should not be sick: tickets are sold, the hall is rented, the audience is waiting. Therefore, artists go to perform even if they feel unwell and pass out on stage. Like, for example, Sergey Lazarev in 2016.
Tourist trip
A cruise in the Mediterranean Sea, a trip to Europe or a trip around the world - this is also a tour. What is a cruise? This is a sea voyage. This was thought until recently, but now there are river cruises, as well as trains.
A trip around the world begins and ends at one point in the world, which is why it has such a name. The routes are diverse. It is worth considering that you will need more than one visa, and the cost of such pleasure is rather big.
Sports tour
It turns out that recently a new service of tour operators has become popular. Sports tour - what is it? This is a trip to a training camp located in Russia or abroad. The organizers offer trips for one person, family and group tours. In the camps, tourists combine relaxation with activities - this can be both boxing, yoga, and many other sports.
There is also such a thing as a shopping tour. Travelers go on vacation, and at the same time go shopping. The owners of small shops are also purchased with quality goods abroad. Popular destinations are France, Turkey, Spain and Italy.
The word "tour" is used in several meanings, but there is one thing in common that connects all concepts - it is a trip!
