Reseña:
The area of adventure tourism has increased rapidly over the past decade to become one of the leading areas of income and interest in the tourism industry today. Looking at the past, present and future of adventure tourism, this text examines the product and its variances, the adventure tourist and issues such as supply, geography and sustainability. International case studies are used to illustrate these issues, for example: gorilla watching holidays; trekking on Mount Everest; diving holidays; outward bound; and the Adventure Island, Singapore. Analysis of the development and nature of adventure tourism accompanies these studies, so that the book should be useful for both undergraduate and postgraduate students of tourism and for professionals involved in managing adventure tourism enterprises.
