Adventure trips that will change your life
Feb. 26
Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro has become popular on the informal adventure travel circuit, but tour company Geographic Expeditions promises a unique experience. Many adventure travel operators stress that their trips do not include bungee jumping or another type of extreme sport, which is often the common perception. "Adventure is a big word," says George Deeb, CEO and founder of iExplore, an online adventure travel tour company. An October online survey of 2,027 people by Deloitte, an international consulting company, found that 49 percent of respondents wanted to take an adventure travel trip. "In my mind," says Adam Weissenberg, Deloitte's vice chairman and U.S. tourism, hospitality and leisure leader, "the definition (of adventure travel) is doing something that is an experience as opposed to doing something that's to unwind, relax or visit a relative." With numerous online adventure travel tour operators available, coordinating a trip like Eliades' can be quite simple.
