20.500.12556/DKUM-86760 The impacts of adventure tourism in mountain regions – a review Recently, mountain regions have become highly attractive and important areas for tourism (Beedie & Hudson, 2003; WTO & UNEP, 2008; Rama et al., 2019). One of the most dynamic components of tourism in mountains is adventure tourism, which combines travel, sport and outdoor recreation (Beedie & Hudson, 2003). Since mountains represent sensitive areas in terms of sustainability, it is important to approach them appropriately, in order to apply measures to optimize the impacts of tourism. This study covers a review of the impacts of adventure tourism on mountain areas and an examination of measures that might optimize the impacts of such tourism. The purpose of this paper is to present the latest findings in the field of the impacts of adventure tourism in mountain areas, and certain measures that can be taken to balance the positive and negative impacts. The findings show that the impacts of adventure tourism in mountain destinations vary, and therefore each destination must be treated individually. Furthermore, a thorough approach to achieve balance is needed on a case by case basis, since there is no universal formula for sustainable development of destinations due to their different characteristics. The implications and further research opportunities are given. tourism impacts measures sustainable tourism mountain tourism adventure tourism turizem trajnostni turizem gorništvo avanturistični turizem true false true Univerza v Mariboru, Univerzitetna založba Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2024-01-17 10:04:32 2024-01-17 10:09:32 2024-01-18 03:47:29 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2022 0 0 Str. 51-72 2022 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2022-10-28 338.48 125540099 127878659 Contemporary_issues_in_tourism_2022.pdf Contemporary_issues_in_tourism_2022.pdf 1 FBF05A46E61470A66219CA1DF55EED22 4fc012a9ebcbe73df30fe9b91e81a1fd662434dd1023d8b35f8c3ed300a9cfc1 f867e15b-b517-11ee-aaf4-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=175339 https://press.um.si/index.php/ump/catalog/book/722 1 6f2f32e8-b517-11ee-aaf4-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=175337 Fakulteta za turizem Univerzitetna založba Univerze v Mariboru Contemporary Issues in Tourism 0 0 0
