Adventure travel is often misunderstood as extreme outdoor activities, but as Shannon Stowell, CEO of the Adventure Travel Trade Association (ATTA), shared in his recent interview with Yulia Denisyuk on the Going Places podcast, it's so much more. The ATTA has identified three key patterns defining adventure travel: - Nature: Immersing yourself in the natural world. - Culture: Engaging deeply with local cultures. - Physical Activity: Staying active, in ways unique to each traveler. Shannon's personal journey to Kurdistan (Northern Iraq) with his son underscores this. Despite the region's complex history, they experienced profound cultural immersion, local hospitality, and historical marvels like the legend of the Three Wise men and the conquests of Alexander the Great. The conversation also delves into the delicate balance between tourism and local communities. Shannon emphasizes the importance of partnering with locals, respecting their wishes, and ensuring tourism doesn't become exploitative. Sustainable tourism is challenging but crucial because it requires responsible action from governments, tour operators, and media alike. Listen to Shannon's and Yulia's insights on the Going Places podcast, and discover how we can travel responsibly, humbly, and respectfully. 🌟 🔗 Listen to the full episode here: https://lnkd.in/ereC3gcB Watch on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/eHexcPTr #podcast #travelpodcast #PoweredByAdventure #AdventureTravel #SustainableTourism
