Trends in Adventure Travel

KNOXVILLE, Tennessee—Adventure vacation resorts are gaining momentum within the travel industry as people are looking for active, immersive travel experiences that cater to families and groups of people with varying interests and skill levels. Many companies are developing this concept and merging to create an all-inclusive travel experience that includes unique accommodation, gourmet food, and a menu of multi-sport activities that take place in unique locations.  Some of the benefits of adventure vacation resorts:

•  Guests are offered a menu of choices—everything from food to activities—there is something for everyone.
• They are perfect for families or groups of people because these resorts offer a variety of activities, all within close proximity, so families can easily spend time together but still have the ability to participate in independent activities.
• Adventure vacation resorts have trained experts on hand to assist guests of all skill levels in active pursuits.
• These trips are sold as “packages”, so there are few hidden costs or expenses associated with traveling this way. This may be a more practical way for families on a budget to travel because they know what to expect in terms of cost. 
• All of the details normally associated with travel are taken care of by booking one trip. There is no planning driving routes, changing hotel rooms, or unplanned travel emergencies. Adventure vacation resorts offer a hassle-free travel option for busy people.
