The adventure tourism sector is growing in leaps and bounds, with Asia-Pacific expected to see the highest growth.
According to a new report from Allied Market Research, the adventure tourism market was valued at $366.70 billion in 2022 and is estimated to reach $4598.4 billion by 2032.
Adventurous tourism is a unique form of travel involving cultural exchange, physical activity, and outdoor exploration. It often requires specific skills and physical strength and involves risk and discovery. Additionally, adventurous travel provides opportunities to engage with diverse landscapes and cultures.
Due to its various benefits, adventure tourism has become increasingly popular among people from all backgrounds. It helps to reduce stress and anxiety, which has resulted in a growing demand for adventure tourism. It’s also an excellent way for urban dwellers to escape the hustle and bustle of city life, with many travelers choosing unique and exotic vacation places to escape their hectic daily schedules.
Allied Market Research found that adventure tourism is growing partly due to social media and the growing popularity of travel blogging/video logging on social media platforms such as Instagram and Twitter. This is expected to increase the popularity of adventure tourism, making way for the growth of the tourism industry in the coming years.
They also found that the Asia-Pacific region is expected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period since “the Asia-Pacific adventure tourism market attracts numerous adventure travelers from around the globe. The region offers diverse activities such as wildlife reserves and national parks such as Sundarbans in India, Mt. Everest in Nepal, rain forests in Borneo, and whale watching & scouting kiwis in New Zealand to explore.”
