Adventurous escapades
The new year pins new hopes for promoting adventure activities in the country. Industry insiders suggest upcoming trends and updates.
We talk about adventure as one of the main themes at Central Asia Guided Tours. In 2018, growth in adventure tourism from India has been less, but 2019 sees a lot of adventure enthusiasts and we are expecting more movement from the country to opt for thrilling adventure activities in the ten countries in the Caucasus, Central Asia and Eastern Europe region. The CIS countries are currently garnering big demand. Apart from gyrocopter ride, hot air balloon or rafting, there are numerous activities which travellers can enjoy. Over the past six years, we have seen almost a 100 per cent increase in the number of tourists we are sending for adventure activities. To increase the popularity of adventure tourism in the country, people need to know more the popular and upcoming destinations, which have a huge potential to serve the adventure needs of travellers. We want to communicate that these countries are very safe and the possibilities to explore culture, history and modern attractions.
This is perhaps the best time to live in if you are an adventure sport lover. The reason is because the country is aggressively promoting peaks and almost every state in the country is promoting their own tourism. That opens up a lot of mountains and ranges which were earlier not open for climbing. So, every state is interested in getting tourism to their destinations. At the same time, people have become health conscious. There are people running marathon, participating in physical activities or doing adventure activities. So, as a country, we adventure tourism. Adventure is rapidly becoming a good way to healthy living. Maintaining good health is becoming necessary to pursue regular adventure activities. There is almost a revolution coming up, where nobody is okay with being obese and lazy anymore; everybody is getting out to doing something. Our foundation is working hard to promote this initiative and encourage people to take up trekking.
