As we have seen there's lots of reasons why people are in this niche as affiliate marketers.
It is also interesting to make a comment on why people are interested in exploring this stage. It brings people together. Whether these people are in the same family or group or tribe or interest they can explore together.
If they are interested in say cave exploration then they are interested in exploring caves all over the world and will repeat the experience many times. They are also interested in the equipment and replacing it often.
Adventure tourism gives many options for affiliate goods. Because a lot of the activities are strenuous such as walking, hiking, kayaking, mountaineering, cycling et cetera then equipment can wear out fast and need replacing.
It also has a slant on health because the activities can treat a wide range of mental and physical health problems. There is no age limit if you're fit enough to take part you can do so. From a mental health point of view going on adventures increases your ability to take risks in life.
Very often adventure travel will both build your confidence and boost your ego. You will learn to overcome challenges and will become more resilient.
There are lots of photographic options because there is nature everywhere. So it is possible to create a niche such as photography.

Adventure tourism is big in Alaska, as you might guess. For a number of years, Kodiak fought the tourism explosion, but then were sucked in.
Cruise ships arrive regularly. Companies offering adventure trips do well. I got in on the edge of that industry for a couple of years. Had a business called "Backwoods Botany." Taught people about wild plants and took them on plant ID hikes. For two years, I took groups of young people from the "Semester at Sea" ship on plant hikes; gathered plants in plant presses; then they learned the actual biology parts when they were back on the ship. It wasn't really dangerous, but was an adventure.
