Description
The academic study of the Adventure Tourism is rapidly increasing in popularity, with research beginning to focus on it heavily. This
book is a cohesive and comprehensive look at this multi-million dollar industry sector from a variety of perspectives relevant to the
teaching of tourism.
Ideal for the undergraduate student taking Adventure Tourism as a single subject degree, or as part of their
Tourism Management studies, this book documents, analyses and offers insight into the latest research in the area. Includes analysis
of products, trends, climate change, risk management and environmental management and many others.
The Subsectors section within
the book offers an overview of the 20 or more definable sectors within the adventure tourism industry considering their origins and history,
latest trends and demographic groups. The author then goes on to look in more detail at: Wildlife Tourism, Marine Tourism, Helitourism,
and Boardsports.

* Introduction - what the chapter does and doesn't cover
* Plain-language review of the chapter topic with minimal referencing - essentially like lecture notes

* Review of recent research, condensed into tables where possible

* A sample set of assignment questions, 3-6
