A growing number of wealthy tourists are traveling in pursuit of adrenaline-filled, or adventure-orientated outdoor experiences, providing an opportunity for rural South African communities to host them.
Adventure tourism is an international trend that is expected to grow in prominence over the coming years, according to Andre du Toit, the chapter chair of the recently established Adventure Tourism Committee of the Southern Africa Tourism Services Association .
On a South African level, Wesgro compiled a report using data from SA tourism that provided insight into adventure travel trends locally. Du Toit said that South Africa has a huge number of beautiful rural areas where adventure guides already operate, but that many tourists still stuck to"traditional" tourism areas such as Cape Town.
"As a guide, you can run your own business, so literally after four months of training and logging hours and getting experience, you can start your own business as a freelance guide," said Sunkel.
