Adventure tourism

Adventure tourism has grown rapidly in recent years as outdoor recreation has become increasingly commercialized (Buckley, 2000, 2004a; Travel Industry
Association of America, 2005). To date, however, the actual commercial products offered by adventure tourism operators do not seem to have been subject to any coherent and comprehensive review and analysis. This book is a first attempt at such an approach. Other sectors of the tourism industry have been analysed extensively. Many volumes, for example, have been written about conventions and coastal resorts, events and ecotourism. Many aspects of outdoor recreation have also received detailed scrutiny, and much of that literature is relevant to the modern adventure tourism industry.
