Adventure travel: what's hot

A week on a Caribbean beach or a journey through the tourist capitals of Europe still has its appeal. But how about embarking on an African safari, learning about Mayan civilisations, or taking an off-road vehicle, well, off the beaten path. Adventure travel is hot, hot, hot. But some forms of “adventure” are not, not, not.

Adventure travel covers a wide range of activities from camping to mountain biking, wildlife viewings to archaeological expeditions. But it’s as much a mindset, opening yourself up to new experiences and destinations, says Mariel Clayton, an adventure travel specialist with the Flight Centre in Oakville, Ontario.

“For me, ‘adventure’ means anything that challenges you, that you’ve never done before,” says Clayton. “It’s not about hiking Kilimanjaro, but about the intensity of the experience – doing something you’ll remember for the rest of your life.” Before 2020, there was a 30–40% increase in inquiries about adventure travel.

What explains the appeal? Some explain it partly by a desire for more “culturally authentic” experiences, and trips that satisfy a growing interest in health, wellness and ecology.

Others say tourists are often looking for “soft adventures.” That means getting more in touch with nature, meeting the locals and enjoying everything that a destination has to offer, as opposed to just taking the standard package deal offered by travel companies or resorts. There are some adventure travel hotspots out there, with good reason:

Ecotourism: This type of travel – which appeals to the ecologically-conscious – has risen in popularity. Here, travellers look for locations, such as Costa Rica, where flora, fauna and natural highlights are the prime attractions. Clayton says Costa Rica is sufficiently “Westernised” and close to the rest of the Caribbean that people don’t feel as “out of their depth” as they would be travelling farther from home.

Hiking adventures: with people practising more active lifestyles and desiring more intuitive experiences, it’s no surprise that hiking excursions have grown, says Clayton. She points to Peru’s Inca Trail, with its mix of ruins, mountain scenery, lush forests, and subtropical jungle – all leading to Machu Picchu, known as “the lost city of the Incas”. “It’s like visiting a “living museum,” says Clayton.

Authentic travel: travellers who are looking to nurture their mind, body and spirit find that Thailand offers the best of all worlds. Tour operators emphasise the country’s natural beauty, captivating culture and affordability. In areas like Phuket, the beaches are gorgeous and unspoiled. With easy access to surrounding countries like Vietnam, Cambodia and Singapore, Thailand is also a great starting point to explore Asia.

With adventure travel, the possibilities are endless; what really matters to a growing number of adventure travellers, is simply “getting out of your comfort zone”.

b. Work in pairs: make up true and false statements on the new trends in tourism discussed in the text. Use the words and phrases in bold. Ask other pairs to say if your statements are true or false. Which of the trends you would like to try and why?
