Abstract

Adventure tourism is one of the major niches in tourism (Cater 2006). It has established it self within the last decade and is said to be the fastest growing outdoor tourism market sector (Williams, Soutar 2009; Buckley 2007). Adventure tourism brings together travel, sport and outdoor recreation (Beedie, Hudson 2003). In Germany, adventure tourism research and education is lagging behind. Other countries, mostly English speaking, offer a wide range of university degrees in adventure sports and adventure tourism. International conferences (e. g. Adventure Conference) and Journals (e. g. the up coming Journal of Adventure Tourism) focus on adventure tourism related research topics. This article aims to emphasise the importance of Adventure Tourism in Germany. It analyzes the status quo in adventure research and opportunities to study adventure related programs. The authors plan to establish a network of researchers to promote adventure tourism in Germany.
