Adventure travel is a type of tourism, involving exploration or travel to remote, exotic and possibly hostile areas. Adventure tourism is rapidly growing in popularity, as tourists seek different kinds of vacations. (Adventure travel may be any tourist activity, including two of the following three components: a physical activity, a cultural exchange or interaction with nature).

3 слайд – гиперссылки на виды активности

(Adventure tourism gains much of its excitement by allowing its participants to step outside of their comfort zone. This may be from experiencing culture shock or through the performance of acts, that require significant effort and involve some degree of risk or physical danger. This may include activities such as mountaineering, trekking, mountain biking, rafting, rock climbing, skydiving and so on. Other rising forms of adventure travel include social and jungle tourism).

Skydiving

Many pop singers have assured us that dreams do come true: dream job, dream car, dream house, dream lover. Well, even the dream you had of falling can come true. Of course this activity involves strapping yourself to a few dozen yards of fabric, and then willingly jumping out of a plane 13,000 feet in the air - it's known as skydiving!

Equipment or special skills required of the tourist

- Reasonable good health is your basic requirement.

- The minimum age allowance is 16 years. (Students under 18 need a written letter of consent from parents or guardians).

- Don’t forget to dress comfortably. (Track pants and T-shirts are your best bet. The rest of your equipment like goggles, helmets and jumpsuits will be provided at the drop zone).

- Keep weather conditions in mind (free falling through clouds isn’t going to be...)

(It might read simple on paper, but don’t forget that the equipment weighs around 12 kilos. That’s the weight you need to be able to manoeuvre in mid-air and possibly drag back.)

7 слайд

Packing List

Clothes: comfortable and flexible (you'll be best to take trainers not shoes).

Gear: at first this will be provided by the parachuting centre, but you may soon look for jumpsuits and helmet.

Camera: make it rugged.

Registration information: medical forms, and current documentation.

Warm kit: as there's often time spent waiting to jump, bring some spare clothes (warm and waterproof).

How to get started

(If you’re itching for a go, but are still a bit apprehensive)

1. For novices a tandem flight is just what you need.

2. If flying solo is your purpose, you need to choose between two courses—the RAPS (Parachute Association Ram Air Progression System) or the AFF (Accelerated Free Fall).

9 слайд

Safety

Always check everything in advance - safety is everything.

(Skydiving is not just about jumping off a plane, opening a parachute at the right altitude and landing safely. Besides being a recreational activity, it’s also a competitive sport with its types.

Drop zone – Large open space and area where a parachutist is expected to land with a qualified instructor)

10 слайд

There are adventure holidays to suit all tastes and budgets. Whatever you want from an adventure holiday, let us help you to acheive it. (See wildlife, go on a mountain trek, discover other cultures, see the stars from a desert wilderness).
