WELCOME: GlobalAdventureTourismGuide.com is your home site for finding the best adventure tourism information. It was established with you in mind to fill a need for a user friendly website which gives you all the information you need to help you plan your next vacation--or to just learn, dream and imagine a virtual trip.
ADVENTURE TOURISM: Adventure tourism is a type of niche tourism involving exploration or travel to remote areas, where the traveler should expect the unexpected. Adventure tourism is rapidly growing in popularity as tourists seek unusual holidays, different from the typical beach vacation. Every tour shoiuld be an adventure, of course, but adventure tourism takes it to a higher level. You'll need to work a little harder, and hopefully more enjoyment is the reward. This guide includes information on the commonly accepted major categories of adventure tours. If you require information on other more specialized activities such as bungee jumping, off-roading or hunting then there are other sources.
DESTINATIONS: Where to go? There is almost no limit. Choose something conventional or something exotic -- it's your choice. For current travel warnings go here and here, and for travelers' health advice go here.
HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE : First make the difficult choice of which country to visit, then go to the navigation column on the left. If you can't decide on a country, but you know what field of adventure interests you, then go the interest categories below. This guide complements our older guide on ecotourism -- WeGoEco.com. You'll find some commonality. Many tours in this guide adhere to ecotourism guidelines, and many ecotours are adventures, so for best results use both guides. Walking and bicycle tours, for example, are also covered at WeGoEco. Remember that companies change their tour offerings from time to time, so the fact that a company is listed for a country may no longer apply, and the opposite is also true.
