Abstract

The growth of commercial adventure tourism products globally over the last half-century has coincided with increasing levels of professionalism. By nature, engagement in an adventure encompasses challenges to be overcome; some of which may carry a real risk of harm to participants and employees. The chapter describes the nature of adventure experiences within the commercial operating environment. With a focus on activity safety, selected national and international standards available to the adventure tourism operators are described along with a national safety auditing scheme. The industry’s future is discussed, with the outlook bright in provisioning quality tourist experiences.
