It is generally defined as a type of tourism that engages
a person in physical, natural or cultural excursions
that bring the individual outside his comfort zone.
This broad idea is broken into two major subcategories
of adventure tourism: hard adventure and soft adventure.
Hard adventure tourism generally involves an element
of physical danger or risk, whereas soft adventure tourism
simply seeks to explore areas that are not typical for
travelers, such as visiting relatively undeveloped destinations.
