Washington University figured out what most of us know. Adventure tourism boosts the economy.

Study shows that adventure tourism is a rapidly growing market and a way for countries to grow tourism.

From the article, it appears that the tourism market thought adventure tourism was a small niche market. From my perspective over-crowding is becoming a major issue. In 2009 adventure tourists spent 89 billion having a good time. Another 53 billion was spent on gear purchases.

The study also found no new infrastructure is needed for adventure tourism. (Duh! OK, let’s go plant a jungle there and build mountains there to get people to come see us.)

One new factor is adventure tourists want sustainable and ecologically responsible adventure.
