Everything about Adventure Tourism totally explained
Adventure tourism is a type of niche
tourism involving
exploration or
travel to remote, exotic and possibly hostile areas, where the traveler should "expect the unexpected". Adventure tourism is rapidly growing in popularity as tourists seek unusual holidays, different from the typical
beach vacation. According to the (U.S.-based) global Adventure Travel Trade Association, "adventure travel" may be any tourist activity including two of the following three components: a physical activity, a cultural exchange or interaction, and engagement with nature.
Adventure tourism gains much of its excitement by allowing its participants to step outside of their
comfort zone. This may be from experiencing
culture shock, or through the performance of acts that require significant effort and involve some degree of risk (real or perceived). This may include activities such as
mountaineering,
trekking,
bungee jumping,
mountain biking,
rafting and
rock climbing.
Adventure Travel for the Disabled
With the trend of increasing accessibility available to disabled persons around the world, some tourism areas are developing adventure tourism specifically for the disabled.
Whistler, British Columbia and
Vancouver, British Columbia,
Canada have been taking the lead with the
2010 Paralympics. Adventure travel for the disabled has become a $13 billion USD a year industry in
North America.
