THE GROWTH OF ADVENTURE TRAVEL
"Alongside this hardcore growth
in adventure travel has been the
development of ‘soft' adventure.
Those holiday trips where one
day you are by the pool the next
you are out rafting or diving or
swimming with whales, those
vacations where there is a mixture
of relaxation in a nice hotel
coupled with core activities."
Over the last forty years, Adventure has seen a lot of changes,
the woolly jumpers have been discarded (in most cases) to be
replaced by technical, profession-specific clothing. Offshore
adventures are now no longer just for a select few but for
everyone. People are venturing further and further afield to find
new, exciting and unique experiences. But the side development
to this that no one saw coming was the growth of both hard and
soft adventure holidays.
There has grown a whole industry taking people on ‘holiday'
to the far corners of the world, even Base Camp at Everest for a
trip of a lifetime. Last week a company in the US was offering ski
and snowboard tours to the slopes of Everest!
Alongside this hardcore growth in adventure travel has been
the development of ‘soft' adventure. Those holiday trips where one
day you are by the pool the next you are out rafting or diving or
swimming with whales, those vacations where there is a mixture
of relaxation in a nice hotel coupled with core activities. These
types of ‘holidays’ feature in Adventure magazine, website and
social media. But there is so much growth we had to establish a
second website www.adventuretraveller.co.nz to pick up the over
the flow of material.
www.adventuretraveller.co.nz and @adventuretravellermag
(on Instagram) have been going over a year, and already, there
are over 10,000 followers on Instagram. Online you will find
specific activities and destinations plus gear and ''hot’ deals.
If adventure travel is on your radar check out
www.adventuretraveller.co.nz and follow @adventuretravelermag
and we will keep you up to date to what’s new and what’s
trending.
Feel free to send us images and stories of your adventures.
