Action vs. Active Tourism

Active Tourism should not be confused with Action Tourism, whichenvolves many sports activities like hicking, mountain bike, cross country,bungee jumping and extreme sports. Active Tourism excludes activitiesand practises that are harmful to the environment and pose a threath tobiodiversity and cultural structure.
