Introduction
Adventure travel is a type of tourism, involving exploration or travel to remote, exotic and possibly hostile areas, where the traveler should “expect the unexpected”. Uzbekistan adventure tourism is rapidly growing in popularity, as tourists seek different kinds of vacations.
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 (real or perceived) and/or physical danger.
This may include activities such as visits to natural, cultural, historical and other sights; mass visits of big groups of people, separate groups and individuals to special zones of ecological study; participation in public activities aimed at the support of environmental protection; watching and communication with nature.
Ecotourism is a form of tourism that involves traveling to tranquil and unpolluted natural areas of Uzbekistan.
