ADVENTURE TOURISM

 is about connecting with a new culture or a new landscape and being physically active at
the same time. It is not about being risky or pushing your boundaries. In fact, it is
especially important to know and respect your limits while you are in an unfamiliar
area.

Zip Line
consists of a pulley suspended on a cable, usually made
of stainless steel, mounted on a slope. It is designed to
enable cargo or a person propelled by gravity to travel
from the top to the bottom of the inclined cable by holding
on to or being attached to the freely moving pulley. It has
been described as essentially a Tyrolean traverse that
engages gravity to assist its speed of movement.[5] Its use
is not confined to adventure sport, recreation, or tourism,
but current usage tends to favour these meanings.[

Climbing
Climbing is a classic example of an adventure tourism
activity. It combines physical activity and allows you to take
in the beauty of nature. Even if you’ve never climbed a day
in your life, you can still get up a rock wall with the help of a
guide. Make sure to check the safety record and
accreditations of your rock climbing guide before heading
out! Another option is to try climbing indoors. Many cities
have rock climbing gyms so you can easily access some
adventure! Ask if they have TRUBLUE Auto Belays so you can walk in and start climbing
without needing an introductory class.

Free Fall
When most people hear free fall they think bungee jumping or
skydiving. While those are viable adventure tourism activities, they
might not be for everyone. Head Rush Technologies engineered the
next generation of free fall devices, the QUICKjump and the
FlightLine, to provide an authentic feeling of free fall with less risk.
You can find these devices in ropes courses, adventure parks and
other facilities all over the world.
 ECO TOURISM
 is a form of tourism involving visiting fragile, pristine, and relatively undisturbed natural
areas, intended as a low-impact and often small scale alternative to standard
commercial mass tourism. It means responsible travel to natural areas, conserving the
environment, and improving the well-being of the local people.[1] Its purpose may be to
educate the traveler, to provide funds for ecological conservation, to directly benefit
the economic development and political empowerment of local communities, or to foster
respect for different cultures and for human rights. Since the 1980s, ecotourism has been
considered a critical endeavor by environmentalists..
