NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard which is identical to ISO 3163 : 2022 'Adventure tourism - Vocabulary' issued by International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendations of Travel, Tourism and Hospitality Related Services Sectional Committee and approval of the Service Sector Division Council.

Adventure tourism is a global industry that is growing in importance and contributing in the economy of the country. Whether provided on a commercial, not-for-profit or charitable basis, adventure tourism activities involve an accepted, inherent element of risk and challenge. Adventure tourism terminologies provide understanding of fundamentals, dynamic nature of activities, operational instructions and potential risk associated.

This standard specifies the most common terms and their definition used in adventure tourism activities. The text of ISO standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

 a) Wherever the words 'International Standard' appear referring to this standard, they should be read as 'Indian Standard'; and

 b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
