According to a Voyager’s World article (http://dtn.fm/wVHm5), adventure tourism is on the rise because of an increase in disposable income, a change in consumer expectations, improvements in technological infrastructure, and the ability for organizations to tap into the adventure tourism markets.
The article points out that, in earlier reports from 2015, “69% of global travelers aspire to try (something) novel, something that they are previously unaccustomed to, in 2016. This also indicates that millennials plan to be more adventurous by engaging in more challenging activities.”
Adventure activities as we know them have changed, with trekking, hiking, and cycling being augmented or replaced by more extreme activities, such as bungee jumping, rappelling, paragliding, skydiving, and more. Adventurers are now looking for experiences that are both authentic and unique.
With the proliferation and development of the internet, consumers are now able to do in-depth research about nearly all destinations across the world. Despite many opting to book their adventures on their own, travel agents have now made a huge shift to online, meaning that travelers can book all-in-one package holidays from the comforts of one website.
This growing trend comes with a newfound need for safety. Because adventure travel comes with its own risks, adventurers often prefer to organize these activities through trustworthy, licensed companies, many of which offer package holidays that include flights, ground transportation, hotels, tours, and activities.
This is where Monaker Group, Inc. (OTCQB: MKGI) comes in. The technology-focused travel company offers trips to a variety of destinations around the world through its flagship NextTrip.com. The platform caters to all types of travelers, allowing them to book their adventure holidays through NextTrip’s all-in-one travel planner, which works on desktop, mobile devices and tablets.
