Adventure tourism is a civilized world that is becoming more and more like a huge office, entangled in a web of wires and stuffed with comfort devices. Moving more and more away from nature, we mean by the word "jungle" the stone bags of modern cities and watch documentaries about wild animals as a fantastic action. “This is where real life is,” is the opinion of the average tourist about a luxury hotel on the first line. A person who answers challenges daily, feels the need to gain new knowledge and experience, expand the range of interests, blissful idleness on the beach during the holidays will not bring a feeling of renewed strength, but adventure tourism will be to your liking.

Oddly enough, but a single standard for adventure tourism has not been created, there is no clear definition, just as there is no single formula for creating adventure tours. In the most general version, adventure tourism is called commercial travel with active modes of transportation associated with being in the natural environment.

Adventure tourism is often associated with outdoor activities, sports and extreme tourism. Meanwhile, the differences are very significant. Active recreation is essentially entertainment, getting a new or enriching experience. Such a vacation makes it possible, while living, including in comfortable conditions, to choose an activity to your liking from the multi-active “menu” offered for the day. A vivid example of this is the programs in Yeysk, which combine training in windsurfing, kitesurfing, wakeboarding, aikido classes and trampoline exercises. By and large, in active recreation, it doesn’t matter where tourists will get fun, nature is seen here as an obstacle, an element that needs to be caught, conquered, curbed.

Most of the natural regions of Russia have "not promoted" hard-to-reach monuments of archeology and culture, which are of undoubted interest to tourists. Even in the Far North of Russia, on the Kola Peninsula, which is usually considered as a place for organizing amateur travel, and abroad - fishing on salmon rivers, you can create an adventure tour - within the framework of the Hyperborea theme. “Hyperborea is a legendary country, according to ancient authors, located beyond the Arctic Circle and inhabited by a powerful civilization.

Modern researchers believe that its existence can be indicated by various archaeological sites characteristic of the European north of Russia, such as seids and labyrinths scattered at a considerable distance from each other. The purpose of the trip is to visit places that may be associated with this mysterious country. The unified logic of the route appears due to the movement on all-wheel drive off-road vehicles.”

Extreme - the concept for adventure tourism is relative and depends on the experience of travelers, the qualifications of guides and, last but not least, the equipment used. So the same cycle route can be extreme for a novice cyclist and just a walk for a world champion in cyclocross, and rafting on a rapid river while passing the same water obstacles can have a different degree of risk depending on the type of vessel.

In Russia, where the tradition of sports tourism is strong, there is a great temptation for adventure agencies to use planned routes developed during the Soviet era for organizing commercial tours, as well as a single classification of (categorical) routes. However, the norms and rules that are typical for sports tourism are absolutely unacceptable for adventure tours. Sports tourism is aimed at fulfilling certain standards, adventure tourism is, first of all, recreation for pleasure and discovery. Such concepts as “comfort” and “service” are alien to sports tourism, for which tourists actually pay money.

Adventure tours are interesting for travelers of all skill levels, not only because of carefully graded itineraries, support vehicles and quality equipment rental. Travelers count on the absence of everyday problems even in the conditions of an autonomous trip, high-quality varied food, excursion and entertainment programs, and most importantly, increased attention to ensuring their safety.

For each person, the word "adventure" has its own deep meaning. For some, a real adventure is climbing the highest peaks of the world or rafting on the Zambezi, for others - a safari in the Serengeti, a jeep tour in Jordan with a visit to ancient Petra, a bike tour along the Golden Ring or rafting on catamarans on the leisurely Ugra.

So, summarizing all of the above, it is clear that adventure tourism is a very interesting, exciting form of recreation, and people like it more and more, despite its high cost. The most interesting thing is that Russians are one of the biggest fans of extreme sports, despite the fact that in Russia the average income of the population is not high. Russian extreme athletes participate in many international competitions, and often we are one of the strongest.

Adventure tourism is constantly in development, both in the world and in Russia. New types and varieties are emerging all the time. This is how space tourism appeared relatively recently, and it is quite possible that in 10-15 years it will be more accessible than it is now. And what types of extreme tourism will appear in 20-30 years is even hard to imagine.

Compared to Russia, adventure tourism in other parts of the world - in East Asia, in Europe, in North America is very strong. And directly among the inhabitants of Europe and especially North America, extreme tourism is the most popular form of recreation. In addition, the incomes of the population of these parts of the world are much higher than ours, so almost everyone who wants to go in for extreme sports there.
