what exactly is adventure travel?

There is still a preconceived idea that adventure holidays are solely about high impact active experiences such as battling white water rapids, rock climbing or abseiling down a cliff face. This may be true to a point but adventure travel goes much deeper than this and can encompass a huge range of options with a cultural, wildlife and more simple going flavour.

Adventure travels involve exploration or travel to remote and more exotic destinations as against an experience exclusively for the adrenaline junkie. In case you intentionally step outside the box and choose to go further afield, deliberately looking for new experiences in otherwise unfamiliar off-the-beaten track territories then adventure travel is in your heart.

And so to the final query - if travel agents are failing to provide the kind of personal service necessary for such an experience then how ought to you go about an adventure travel experience?

  Another reason also linked to the economic climate is that adventure travel can now merge with activities and voluntary work in local community projects. This, together with the group often travels with on an adventure travel experience can provide a chance to create social experiences, new skills and knowledge which can relate to an individual's career often providing travellers with a competitive edge on their return.
