Adventure Tourism for young people in the UK

Abstract

Today's Spanish population is frequently becoming more interested in physicalsport, and this has grown significantly in the last two decades. Alongside sport, tourism is one of the main leisure activities for most individuals ¿ and these two activities have undergone a parallel evolution over the whole XX century. As a result, this important relationship has become more and more intensified. In this project I will centre my attention on Adventure Tourism, since it is one of the alternatives that at the present time is taking on a lot of importance for young people in particular who want to escape their daily routine to find amusement and unforgettable experiences of risk. Following my experience as an employee at Mill on The Brue Activity Centre, in England, I considered that it would be interesting to include information about how the Centre addresses environmental issues alongside the Adventure activities it offers since in Tourism the conservation of nature is of vital importance (ECOTOURISM).
