Adventure tourism activities sit well with the environment because the natural 
world provides us with the resources for many of the activities that provide risk, 
challenge, sensory stimulus, novelty, discovery and so on. 
A tourism supply chain is the system of people, products, activities, and materials 
that get a product or service from its raw state through production and distribution to the 
consumer. 
As with any sector, volume discounts drive the mass price point, so major 
retailers primarily market select trips that sell in high volume. The supply chain for 
these mass tourism products is often very simple, comprising only transportation and 
accommodation elements. The adventure tourism supply chain is more complex. Niche 
products often require specializes in knowledge and operations. Adventure tourism’s 
supply chain linkages go very deep, and this is one of the key reasons that adventure 
tourism delivers greater benefits at the local level. 
Adventure Tourism is a term which is not easily defined. Different people have 
different perceptions of what might constitute “adventure”. For one person, 
“adventure” may be something as simple as camping outside in a tent, or walking 
through a wilderness area for an hour. For another, this would be considered passive 
tourism, whereas adventure would mean participating in dangerous and physically (also 
maybe emotionally) demanding and challenging activities, such as climbing a sheer 
rock face or white water rafting in dangerous waters. 
Even for those tourists seeking challenging experiences, the degree of challenge 
desired may be quite different. Some will baulk at undertaking potentially dangerous 
activities like walking on a rope bridge across a deep ravine, and would find a trek 
through the jungle at ground level sufficiently challenging. Whilst some will find 
another’s "adventure" de
cidedly unpleasant, disagreeable, foolishly reckless, traumatic 
or boring. 
People are motivated to undertake adventure tourism activities for different 
reasons. Some may enjoy the anticipation of an unknown or uncertain outcome. This 
could be undertaking something new and unfamiliar or the presence of a perceived 
danger in the activity. This element of risk involved in an activity might be relished by 
some and feared by others. 
There needs to be a degree of challenge in an activity for it to be considered 
adventurous. A challenging event might have an element of danger, unknown outcomes 
and degree of difficulty. This will attract different participants to the activity based 
upon their expectations and their willingness to cope with challenges.
