  Abstract:  WTO Predictions Regarding the Tendencies of Evolution of the Forms of Tourism. The World Tourism Organization, a specialized UNO body based in Madrid, has made a prediction regarding the evolution of international tourism, relating on the one hand to the large geographical units, and on the other hand, to the main forms of tourism. We will focus on some forms of tourism that have lately become extremely dynamic: cultural tourism, theme park tourism and congress or MICE tourism. For each of these forms of tourism, we will provide a clear definition, presenting the demand and offer characteristics, the development perspectives, the standard profile of consumers.

Keywords: cultural tourism, theme park tourism, congress tourism, cultural capital, market niches, dinks (Double Income No Kids), amusement park, theme park, generations of amusement parks, MICE, congress cities.
