Increasing Trend of Adventure Sports
- by Alan
In consonance with substantial change in the psychology of modern Indians, demand for recreational and adventurous sports has increased. Instead of spending a holiday or leisure time relaxing at home, in resorts or on beaches, people now prefer to discover the adventurers streak in them to refresh themselves.
The increasing number of young travellers from India heading abroad to take part in adventure activities confirms this fact. This boom in demand for adventure sports makes a positive impact on the tourism industry in a lot of countries. Trekking, skiing, mountaineering, paragliding, parasailing, river rafting and many more sports are popular in India. The demand for these and other adventures has doubled over the last decade. Apart from the recreational benefits, there are a lot of economical benefits attached to the boom in this industry.
Therefore, India should develop more and more adventurous sports facilities so that tourists from India and abroad can make use of them.
