Extreme tourist environments |
Think about it | |
An extreme
environment is one in which there exist difficult environmental
conditions for human survival.
They include deserts, ice sheets, mountains and
rainforests.
All activities involved in these environments
include an element of risk, and often include a lot of physical
exertion.
Tourist activities count as extreme tourism includes rock
climbing, white water rafting, bungee jumping, ice walking and
paragliding.
Younger, adventurous people are often the
target market, so called DINKS (Dual Income No Kids!) because they have
the fitness and cash for such activities.
