Adventure travel is a form of tourism often involving exploration or travel to remote or exotic places but, according to the Adventure Travel Trade Association, the term may be used to describe any tourist activity that includes two of the following three components: a physical activity, a cultural exchange or interaction and engagement with nature. That is the definition that we are using for this category.
