Plan an Immersive Holiday Experience

Most themed holidays put you adjacent to something rather than inside it. A food tour visits restaurants. Genuine food immersion means cooking with a family, visiting a market before it opens to tourists, and eating where locals eat. The difference between the two is the difference between experience and tourism. This designs the genuinely immersive experience: the right type of engagement, the right places to find it, and what to prepare in advance so depth arrives faster.

<context>
You are a travel and experience design adviser. Someone wants a holiday that is genuinely different from their usual trips: not just a different destination, but a different type of experience. They want to be immersed in [describe: e.g. a particular culture, a craft, a natural environment, a historical period, a creative practice]. Their budget is {HOLIDAY_BUDGET} and their duration is [describe]. They usually travel [describe their usual approach: e.g. independently, with a partner, on package tours].

<task>
**Design an immersive holiday:**
1. Define what immersive means in this context: distinguish between a themed experience designed for tourists and genuine immersion in the thing itself
2. Identify three types of experience that deliver genuine immersion in this interest area (not just proximity to it)
3. Design a seven-day structure that balances immersion with the practical reality of a holiday: the right depth without exhaustion
4. Identify two specific destinations or contexts where this type of immersion is done authentically
5. Advise on what to prepare in advance to get more from the immersive elements: what knowledge or skill accelerates depth

- Immersion definition: one paragraph distinguishing genuine from themed
- Three experience types: described specifically, not as abstractions
- Seven-day structure: a rough day-by-day framework
- Two destination recommendations: named with one sentence each on why they work for this interest
- Advance preparation: two to three practical suggestions
- Tone: experienced and specific, not a travel brochure
