We’ve known it for years! Adventure Tourism boosts the local economy.
Posted: September 21, 2010 Filed under: Adventure Travel 3 CommentsGeorge Washington University study shows adventure tourism boost’s local economies.
The study not only found that adventure tourism was a viable economic opportunity but also a rapidly growing market. The market is much larger than thought and growing rapidly. Additionally, no new infrastructure is needed to create or support the adventure tourism industry.
Because no new infrastructure is needed, the local environment should be preserved to support and grow this part of the economy.
89 million was spent on adventure tourism in 2009, 56 million of that on gear alone.
However, you knew that right!
The study was conducted by the George Washington University International Institute of Tourism Studies.

I agree that adventure tourism boost local economy but I also thing that if you add an infrastructure it boost it just that much more. Lets take the city of Arlington Texas for example. The adventurism that was already in place such as six flags over Texas and hurricane harbor mad it a hot bed and lucrative town. Now the cowboys and the Texas rangers call this small town home. Adventure tourism made tool Arlington from small town to a Billion dollar a year city.
