There are four main categories of adventure travel to consider before planning your next trip:
Extreme or Thrill Tourism is the category most affiliated with adventure travel, consisting of locations and activities with a higher level of risk than other forms of travel. Backpacking, hiking, and whitewater rafting are a few activities associated with thrill tourism.
Accessible Tourism consists of exciting, adrenaline-pumping trips for travelers with disabilities.
Ecotourism is travel to exotic, endangered environments usually to support conservation efforts and research developments while experiencing remarkable natural ecosystems.
Cultural Tourism involves traveling to another country or region specifically to learn about the culture, history, and other lifestyle factors unique to that location.
