Adventure travel is a type of 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 different kinds of vacations. According to the U.S.-based 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 and/or physical danger. This may include activities such as mountaineering, trekking, bungee jumping, mountain biking, rafting, zip-lining and rock climbing. Some obscure forms of adventure travel include disaster and ghetto tourism1. Other rising forms of adventure travel include social and jungle tourism.
