As a matter of fact, not all the adventure tourists are experienced explorers or trekkers, on the contrary many of them are regular tourist looking for some exciting and unusual trips.
The growth of Adventure Tourism represents a huge opportunity for both organizations and communities active in mountain areas or in areas that attract tourists looking for outdoor activities.
