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.

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.

This work provides a concise insight and analysis of this rapidly - growing sector of the Tourism industry. It contains seven pedagoical elements to every chapter, ideal for undergraduate students e.g. revision notes and example questions. It features a well known and well respected author in the area who has published widely and has several decade's experience in various forms of adventure recreation, including working as a tour guide for a US-based international tour company.
