Using figure 6.1 from Beard et al., identify and describe (as best as you can) the various components of the adventure tourism industry that support the tour operator/business you chose. You may bullet your description. For example: a. Transport… b. Equipment suppliers… V. Using Sung’s classification of adventure travelers, identify which group or groups are utilizing the services of the business you chose. Explain. While much of the info you seek will be on their website, you will likely need to contact the organization to answer some of the questions above. Writing should be of a professional, business nature. As such, no first person writing should be used. Remember to use APA 6th style for all references.
