Abstract:
Abstract In Western industrialized countries, the use of the motorcycle has changed from a means of transportation to a recreational device. As a result, this form of travel has gained more focus by destinations and specialized travel companies. In this context, the focus on adventure and experience is also increasingly used in customer communication. But there are only few contributions in the scientific literature which deal with motorcycle tourism in principle, a deeper consideration of the adventure character of motorcycle tourism is missing, except for a few travel reports. Based on these considerations, the relationship between adventure tourism and motorcycle vacations is shown and discussed with the help of an empirical study among German, Austrian and Swiss motorcyclists. Motorcycle tourism is a special form of drive tourism, which is connected with motorized tourism as well as with adventure and nature tourism. However, the landscape acts mainly as a backdrop, as the main feature that makes motorcycle tourism special are scenic and winding roads with little traffic. As a result, it can be stated that motorcycle travel can include elements that classify it as a subcategory of adventure tourism. As with other forms of adventure tourism, a distinction can be made here between soft and hard adventures, with the soft variety predominating.

Abstract:
Adventure tourism has established itself as a concept and a field of research within tourism. While the German tourism market is one of the biggest in the world, no evidence exists on the German adventure traveller. In adventure tourism research in general, there is little evidence on how personality, motives, and socio-demographic factors distinguish the choice for soft and hard adventure activities. Therefore, this quota-based survey among 1,500 German travellers does investigate demographics, motives and personality aspects. A logistic regression analysis is performed to categorize tourists into soft and hard adventure travellers. Gender and age are descriptive characteristics, as well as extraversion and going on adventures to get to know oneself better. This research helps to better understand German hard adventure travellers and enables operators to cater specifically to the needs of the target group.

Abstract:
The purpose of scientific research is to explore the leading genres of satire and humor, which reproduce travel adventures and which were distributed in the Rivne press in the 1950–80s of the twentieth century. It is determined that the satirical reproduction of travel adventures in the pages of regional periodicals took place. The diversity of topics of travel adventures was revealed on the example of the content of the Rivne region press, the dynamics of the appearance of these texts on the pages of the Rivne newspapers «Chervonyi prapor» and «Zmina» was traced. The most important components of travel in the regional information space, in particular, performed by the traveler-narrator are outlined. It was found that a significant influence on the content of the travel adventure is exerted by the researcher-promoter, clearly expressing his own position.

Abstract:
Customer satisfaction has become the critical outcome variable in tourism where traveler experiences become electronic word of mouth (eWOM) for future visitors, yet the drivers of customer satisfaction in adventure travel are not well established in academic literature. This study relies on both qualitative and quantitative measures to examine visitor perceptions at a wild animal reserve to determine drivers of customer satisfaction in adventure travel. The theoretical framework extends Oliver's expectation disconfirmation theory to this new and growing sector that differs in that consumers are seeking out unexpected experiences in their travel adventures. This research addresses the role of expectations in a context where customers are seeking the unexpected. This work also incorporates Russell's circumplex theory of affect to illustrate the importance of achieving a positive, high activation state on the path to customer satisfaction. Findings indicate that perceptions of novelty, value, conservation focus, authentic cultural experience, and freedom of exploration are drivers of customer satisfaction, but perceptions of tranquility and the presence of animals are not. Results imply that the desire to seek animals or tranquil settings motivate the desire to book an adventure travel experience, but satisfaction with the experience itself will require the delivery of experiences that are undiscovered, unexpected, and go beyond consumers' preconceived notions. These novel experiences produce the high activation and positive disconfirmation that drive customer satisfaction in this unique travel context.

The effect of income from tourism, especially adventure travel, on the world economy is increasing as the years go by. Tourists' interests are changing over time, with a growing preference for professional and adventurous travel. This research paper was conducted to determine the development opportunities for Mongolian adventure tour product services and research tour products organized by Mongolian tour operators. A total of 332 tour programs from 28 organizations were researched, revealing that 96.3 percent of the tours in Mongolia are land-based, 3.9 percent are water-based, and 0.3 percent are air-based. The study identified 27 varieties of soft adventure tours, including photo safari, bird watching, ecotourism, trekking, cycling, camel, and horse travel. Additionally, 14 tour operations offer four types of hard adventure tours with varying costs and durations.

Abstract:
Adventure tourism involves travel and leisure activities pursued with the expectation that they will produce a rewarding, adventurous experience. Adventure tourism can be defined as travel to a destination to participate in adventurous activities in a natural environment. Two categories of adventure are distinguished, namely soft and hard adventure. Soft adventure includes activities such as bird–watching, hiking, camping and horseback riding, and it requires relatively little physical skill and little or no experience. Hard adventure includes activities such as rock climbing, mountaineering, survival games and caving. Hard adventure has high levels of risk and participants are more likely to engage in physically and mentally challenging outdoor activities. Magoebaskloof Adventures is one of many adventure destinations in South Africa where adventure tourists can participate in adventure activities. It is of great value for Magoebaskloof Adventures to ensure that the needs and expectations of adventure tourists are fulfilled. One way to ensure that these needs are met, is to determine what motivates adventure tourists to travel and participate in adventure activities. Knowledge of these motives will assist adventure tourism products to stay competitive and to develop relevant products. A number of researchers have found that certain travel motives can explain the existence of certain adventure tourism products. Motive can also influence or determine the behaviour of adventure tourists visiting different adventure products or destinations. Past research into adventure motives identified important motives such as escape, challenge, fun, social interaction and experience. As little research has been conducted on travel motives for adventure tourism in South Africa, the aim of this research was to determine the travel motives of adventure tourists to Magoebaskloof Adventures. iv A literature study provided the background for the empirical study. A quantitative research approach was followed, with a non–probability sampling method, namely convenience sampling. The research was conducted at Magoebaskloof Adventures for a period of nine months (March 2010 to December 2010). A total of 400 usable questionnaires were received back. The results of the study involved two sections: firstly the profile of the typical adventure tourist was determined; and secondly the travel motives of adventure tourists were determined. The profile indicated that adventure tourists are on average 33 years old, male and English–speaking. They are married, hold a diploma or degree and travel in groups of 1–5. The typical adventure tourist travels 1–3 times a year, drives a sedan vehicle and prefers self–catering accommodation. The factor analysis identified the following seven travel motives for adventure tourists: Factor 1 ? Prestige and status(an increased sense of personal growth, acquiring new skills, the feeling of success after completing the activity, overcoming fear, and interacting with people and/or the environment); Factor 2 ?Group togetherness(participation in a recreational opportunity, family recreation, spending time with someone special, experiencing fun and excitement, and spending time with friends); Factor 3 ?Knowledge seeking(learning about adventure, sharing in the challenge, and educating oneself); Factor 4 ?Escape and relaxation(exploring a new destination, getting away from routine, and relaxing); Factor 5?Photography and attraction(an opportunity to practice photography, continuing a habit of adventure that already started in childhood, and the desire to feel part of an adventure); Factor 6 ? Enhancing relations (participating because friends arranged the activity, participating in order to tell friends about the experience, and participating because the participant has the necessary experience to perform the activity); and Factor 7 ? Novelty(performing the activity before the participant is too old, enjoying the journey with family and friends, and doing ‘something different’). Escape and relaxation was the factor with the highest mean value, and this correlates with other adventure travel motive research as well as research regarding tourists’ motives for visiting nature–based attractions. An analysis of travel motives in v general indicates that Escape and relaxation is commonly an important travel motive. Magoebaskloof Adventure focuses more on soft adventure, and the travel motives of participants in this research will therefore differ from those of consumers of hard adventure products. The latter are motivated by aspects such as thrill, challenge, fear, terror, risk, daring, adrenaline, journey, expedition, excitement and success, to name a few. Group togetherness was also identified as a strong motivating factor, and existing nature–based research confirms this as an important motive to travel. In conclusion, this study found that there are differences between the travel motives of tourists to Magoebaskloof Adventures ? which provides soft adventure tourism products ? and the travel motives of tourists who pursue hard adventure activities. The results of this research can assist Magoebaskloof Adventures in the development of feature adventure tourism products and focused marketing material.

Full text
Abstract:
This study examines the translation of an adventure travel guide from English to Swedish, focusing on the translation of conventional metaphors, original metaphors, metonymy and similes, with special attention to conceptual metaphors. The results show that most of the metaphors are reproduced in the target text, along with most of the metonymic segments and all similes. The findings suggest that the relatively high rate of metaphors and metonymy reproduced is due to a high degree of shared metaphorical concepts in source and target culture, whereas the decrease likely is due to an asymmetry in the preference of usage and degree of elaboration for these metaphors. The qualitative analysis shows that many conceptual metaphors fulfilled important functions in the source text, which confirms previous research that preserving the conceptual metaphors as much as possible in the translation process is essential in order to preserve all the functions of the source text. Analysis of metonymy and the personification of cities shows how the metonymic concept place for person is related to the central theme of personification and that this concept is likewise used to fulfill an important purpose of the source text, showing that metonymy is equally important to preserve in the translation process. The results of this study suggest that the choice of translation strategy in some cases is less dependent on category and more dependent on to what extent the cultural concepts that the metaphor/simile/metonymy is based on is similar/different, more/less elaborate or more/less preferred in source and target culture.

Abstract:
How can reductionism lead to a greater experience and add to the appeal of a product? The Land Rover BackPacker is a minimalistic travel vehicle that questions the space and the complexity needed in a vehicle while exploring the world 4x4 inspired by the necessity of reduction in today's consumerist world to fight climate change and the freedom of travelling light. Its open design creates an interactive space with it's surroundings for 2 people which is created in a multifunctional approach to be more then a car but a space to hang out and a place to sleep in the wild. The project is highly inspired by the global adventures of the very first Land Rover Series 01 and it’s modular and highly functional design.  To reinterpret this spirit and to bring it into a future context was the main goal besides combining it with the approach and philosophy of modern minimalists and the efficiency of tiny house lifestyles. Living in a compressed space, how this affects the interaction with nature and what reduction adds to the user in the travel context are key points. Finding the right balance between the amount of space and comfort needed on a trip and the openness and simplicity of the vehicle to guarantee and unfiltered experience was a major challenge.After understanding the future context of the vehicle, the design process started with exploring different packages of the car and prototyping different ways to create a space in nature in the most minimal way using Virtual Reality and quick 2D doodles.  This led to optimising the proportions and the chosen theme of the design in developed 2D renderings and early CAS models.  The final design concept was developed in 3D software to translate the digital data into a physical scale model in the end.All in all the Land Rover BackPacker is a reductive travel vehicle concept targeting the future needs of more sustainable and more flexible experiences. It’s designed to be part of an on-demand car sharing service which is setup globally to reach people of different regions, different cultures and different backgrounds. It provides a space for two people to move freely, to hang out and to sleep in nature. To make travelling a no-brainer, the vehicle service includes modular equipment kits which provide the things needed during different trips in nature.  The user can choose from e.g. weather protection, cooking equipment, a water tank or a solar sun sail, depending on where the next journey starts.

Abstract:

The purpose of this exploratory qualitative research study was to identify the elements of adventure travel experiences that contribute to the process of transformational learning in adults. A qualitative research design was employed for this study. The sources of data were twelve pre-existing and de-identified interview transcriptions. A textual analysis was performed on the data, using an a priori approach to coding and analysis. An analysis of the data identified seven key themes that were critical for transformational learning in adults: (a) A Call to Adventure; (b) Being Open to Experience; (c) Entering a Zone Unknown; (d) Extra-Ordinary & Challenging Experiences; (e) Meaningful Interactions with Others (f) Re-Connecting to Self; and (g) Taking Action. These themes suggested a process for transformational learning in adults. In addition, (a) the authentic nature of the experience and (b) trip length, were also found to be important factors in transformational learning for these interviewees. These findings also suggest that intentionally designing adventure travel programs around these themes and the emergent transformational learning process has the potential to increase the likelihood of participants experiencing transformational learning through adventure travel.

Abstract:
Tourists are now visiting some of the most remote and amazing places on Earth, travelling to �frontiers� on journeys that are psychological and emotional as well as geographical or physical. These extraordinary journeys to the Poles, the peaks of the highest mountains in the world, harsh deserts and even outer space test both physical and mental endurance and can be characterised as �unique� even in the current era. Travelling largely without the aid of a commercial tour operator or guide, the frontier traveller usually invests a great deal of time and resources in their travel experience, often with the assistance of sponsorship, and generally takes part in an extensive and arduous preparation period in their quest for the extraordinary. While the search for new and unique tourism destinations and experiences appears to be relentless in this post-modern era, the frontier traveller appears to be searching for the �authentic� beyond the �tourist bubble,� both in relation to self and setting. These frontier �trailblazers� are already being followed by guided adventure tourists and some of the former are supplementing their incomes and funding their own travel by leading tours or guiding others to the frontier. Studying the extraordinary experiences of the frontier traveller could therefore provide us with a glimpse of the future of travel, although likely to occur in a more structured and less risky guise. Uncovering the motivations for this form of travel will also assist with future marketing of these experiences, including elements of the marketing mix such as product development and promotion. This thesis examines the motivations behind frontier travel and considers the implications of the findings for tourism marketing. Unstructured, long interviews with 37 individuals were used to uncover the motivations behind these experiences, supplemented by content analysis of narratives produced by frontier travellers, encompassing 50 autobiographies, two online diaries and online interviews with two individuals. The interview participants were largely selected through purposive sampling, in that they were screened as fitting the criteria of a past or potential frontier traveller before being interviewed. They were predominantly born and living in Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States, and 29 of the 37 individuals were male. Ages of participants ranged from 24 to 60 years of age. Interviews continued until saturation of categories of motivation had been reached. Texts were mainly located through searches of bookshops and libraries, including the author�s personal library. A qualitative methodological approach was chosen in order to provide rich data and allow the researcher to enter the world of the frontier traveller. An interpretive paradigm based on a constructivist paradigm underpinned this study, with an ontological stance based on multiple realities and an epistemological position where participants and myself as the researcher created understandings. The methodology outlined above was consistent with this position and was designed to identify different constructions of the data and seek consensus, where possible. The literature on motivations provides a complex plethora of theories and models, many of which contradict each other, so a principal objective of this study was to work from first principles, grounding a theory of motivations pertaining to frontier travel experiences in the data, rather than seeking to test out a pre-existing model or theory. Overall, the research findings show that motivations for frontier travel can be analysed under the broad heading of �adventure,� which is composed of a variety of sub-motives such as achievement and competence, challenge, thrill-seeking and sensation, ego, dreams or fantasies, self-actualisation, cognizance (exploration/discovery), freedom/escape motives (autonomy), isolation and solitude, spirituality, camaraderie and communitas, authenticity, prestige (external rewards), pro-social motives and a love of nature and wilderness. Risk or danger is an element of these experiences and feeds into many of the motivations identified in this study. A theory of motivations behind frontier travel experiences has been developed, covering intrinsic and extrinsic motivations, as well as achievement-motivated behaviour. Pre-travel influences and inspirations such as literature, cinema, visual stimuli, childhood games, heroes and mentors, family influences and educative influences are also considered with respect to their effect on motivational behaviour. An exploratory typology was then developed for frontier travellers, based on common motivations, which might be used to segment the market. Four basic types have been identified and labelled or categorised as �Seekers of Truth,� �Enlightened Explorers,� �Concerned Elitists,� and �Freedom Seekers.� Key motivations behind specific frontier travel experiences have also been identified. Each frontier traveller will exhibit some, but not all, of the motivations highlighted in this study. Segmenting the market on the basis of motivations may therefore be a difficult, if not impossible task. However, marketers could use the information unearthed during this study in the marketing mix to develop new products aimed at satisfying some of the key motivations and use the findings as themes to be highlighted in promotional literature such as brochures and websites. This thesis also argues that the study of travel motivations in the future would be better served by considering motivations behind market niches such as frontier travel, rather than attempting to develop a comprehensive theory of motivations covering the whole travel industry.

Abstract:

Syftet med denna uppsats är att öka förståelsen för problematiken kring marknadsföring av upplevelser. Detta genom att undersöka hur turismupplevelser av äventyrligt inslag marknadsförs av reseföretag och ta reda på vad det är för känslor man vill förmedla. I den teoretiska referensramen har vi tagit upp tidigare forskning som ska ge en djupare förståelse kring de två undersökningsområden, upplevelser och marknadsföring, som omfattar denna uppsats. Studien är en komparativ flerfallsstudie där vi har använt oss av en kvalitativ innehållsanalys samt en retorisk analys i analyserandet av vårt material. Det undersökta materialet består av marknadsföringstexter från reseföretags kataloger. Slutsatserna vi har kunnat fastställa är att samtliga företag berör de fem kriterier som berikar en upplevelse, men att de hade kunnat förtydligas. Vidare kan de strategier som används för att konkretisera tjänster på samma sätt användas på upplevelser. Slutligen kom vi även fram till att de retoriska reglerna till stor del har tillämpats i företagens marknadsföringstexter.

This monograph intends to investigate the genre adventure novel of the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century, and the ways in which this genre builds the images of the Other. Considering that this Historical moment corresponds to the period of expansion of the European colonial empires, and of organization of the working class and feminist movements, the intension of this study is to make a reflection about the representations of workers, women, colonized peoples, and Nature in the adventure novels, as well as to think about the images of the Self, or of the heroes in these books men, Europeans, bourgeois, and colonizers. Starting with the analysis of the novel The Lost World, written in 1912 by Arthur Conan Doyle, we firstly studied the themes of the discovery of a new land, its exploitations, and the relations between the heroes and the inhabitants of this land. Secondly, we analyzed the weapons used by the heroes to conquer this land: Science, War, and Word. In a third moment, we made reflections about the images of the Feminine in the novel: the feminine identity of the land, the absence or the vilanization of the feminine characters, and the production and consumption of the adventure novel (which is usually described as a masculine genre) as the rejection of a so-called Feminine Literature. Finally, we studied the protagonists of the novel, or the virile heroes, and the world that they intend to build. Thus, from the analysis of The Lost World, which we regard as a model adventure novel, we made comparisons with other novels in the same genre, so that we could establish themes, rules, and conventions which can characterize the genre adventure novel
Esta dissertação se propõe a investigar o gênero romance de aventura do fim do século XIX e início do século XX, e as maneiras como esse gênero constrói as imagens do Outro. Considerando-se que a fase de sua produção corresponde ao período de expansão dos impérios coloniais e de organização dos movimentos operários e feministas europeus, a intenção deste trabalho é refletir sobre as representações presentes nesse gênero romanesco sobre as classes trabalhadoras, as mulheres, os povos colonizados e a Natureza, bem como pensar a imagem do Eu, ou dos heróis dessas obras homens, europeus, burgueses e colonizadores. A partir da análise do romance de aventura O mundo perdido, escrito em 1912 por Arthur Conan Doyle, foram estudadas, em primeiro lugar, as questões do descobrimento de uma nova terra pelos heróis, a sua exploração e a relação desses heróis com os habitantes desse lugar. Em segundo lugar, foram analisadas as armas usadas pelos protagonistas para a conquista do território a Ciência, a Guerra, a Palavra. Em terceiro lugar, foi feita uma reflexão acerca da imagem feminina no romance: o caráter feminino do território, a vilanização ou a ausência de personagens femininas, a escritura e leitura do romance de aventura (que se descreve como um gênero masculino) como rejeição a uma literatura considerada feminina. Por fim, foram estudadas as próprias personagens dos heróis viris e o mundo que eles constroem. Dessa maneira, partindo da análise de O mundo perdido, visto como um romance de aventura modelar, foram feitas comparações com outros romances do mesmo gênero, para que possam ser levantados temas, regras e convenções que caracterizem o gênero romance de aventura

Abstract:
The intervention addresses three metaphysical and fantastical exemplary works from the twentieth century - Ebdòmero, La partenza dell’Argonauta, Il Mar delle Blatte – in which the theme of travel finds expression through different textual models. In the first case, De Chirico uses the archetypical model of Ulysses’ journey against a background of fantastic metaphysical imagery. In the second Savinio creates a parodistic rewriting of the Argonautiche by Apollonio Rodio – the mythical trip par excellence, while in the third (Il mar delle blatte) Landolfi recalls the characters of Salgari’s adventure novels. All three texts represent imaginary travels towards an unreachable elsewhere, symbolically represented by a paradisiacal Island, lost and dreamt of also by the sailor Pessoa.

Abstract:
Passionate about travel, the writers of the Pasoptist era were also tempted to explore the Orient, a sumptuous land full of miracles. In the memorials and travel diaries of Ion Heliade Rădulescu, Dimitrie Bolintineanu, Vasile Alecsandri et. a., the colorful, picturesque and bizarre, of the places visited, the unusual atmosphere of this universe are evoked. Contemplative, the Romanian writers expose in detail the coordinates of the oriental space – a mixture of human entities, of sumptuousness, luxury and misery. All of them still experience the feeling that they have entered a real Babylon. The exotic element is highlighted in geographical, ethnographic, cultural-spiritual descriptions, etc. The journey of the writer-travelers through such lands stimulates not only the initiatory adventure, but also the act of writing.

Abstract:
The authors' focus in outdoor activities as means to increase the life quality has materialized in a new work, which brings up the use of technology in the training at high altitude of the trekkers. The work focused on the individual altitude adaptation capacity, as aspect of interest, knowing that the success of a mountain climb decisively depends on such adaptation capacity. Event though great changes have occurred in our living patterns during the last decades, staying in touch with nature and finding a common rhythm with it are fundamental to a meaningful life. Living in a technical, aseptically environment doesn't diminish the need to stay in contact with nature and all kinds of outdoor activities. That is in fact one of the major ingredients of life quality. Lately, leisure time has become more consistent and the individual soften consider it as seriously as we consider work. That is the reason we are interested in professionalizing the leisure activities, in terms of absorbing principles, rules, methods, that usually are relevant in sports training, in order to get maximum of progress and satisfaction out of them. Beyond scenery and achieving harmony with spectacular nature, many forms of outdoor recreation aim at increasing fitness levels by pushing participants far beyond their usual functional levels. Trekking gains a prevailing position among the sporting leisure activities, accessed by individuals of any ages, due to its polyvalent nature. Its action on the functional component of the human body is completed at same level by the positive effects over the psychic-social side level of the participant. The activity fosters the more and more accentuated orientation of the individuals toward activities combining the personal disposition to adventure and action in nature with the pleasure to travel and know different places, persons and cultures. The biodiversity elements provided by the mountain environment, as well as the existence of routes of different difficulty levels matching the training levels and spirit of adventure of all the participants are the main factors which encourage individuals to choose more often destinations providing trekking routes within the touristic program. Assuming the outdoor activities is an initiative, which, except the training level intended to the special effort involved and the trekking skills, implies logistics related to: establishing the route based on a map, choosing the optimal period of time according to the meteorological forecasts for the concerned area, using of the orientation and route follow-up devices (magnetic compass, GPS device) throughout the trekking session under severe weather conditions, as well as the electronic devices and software able to monitor the trends in the status of the main trekkers' body functions facing the effort at altitude in order to maintain the stress within the safety limits specific for each individual. The trekking route success decisively depends on the body's altitude adaptation capacity, and on the participant's workload-supporting capability level

Abstract:
The evolution of travel and exploration owes much to technology, transforming our experiences in profound ways. This paper delves into the realm of Tourism Management Systems (TMS), elucidating how they enhance the ease and enjoyment of our journeys. Let's explore what TMS entails and how it streamlines our adventures.In this modern era, technology, epitomized by smartphones and computers, has revolutionized the way we reserve accommodations, discover landmarks, and plan our routes. Picture effortlessly organizing your travel escapades with a few taps on your phone – it's the convenience we've come to expect.Moreover, TMS plays a pivotal role in preserving the sanctity of the places we visit, ensuring they remain beautiful and not overrun by crowds. It's akin to having a thoughtful companion guiding us towards responsible exploration while safeguarding the environment.Nevertheless, navigating the terrain of TMS comes with its own set of challenges. Safeguarding our personal information and integrating disparate systems seamlessly are paramount concerns that require meticulous attention.This paper doesn't merely dwell on the present; it also casts a gaze into the future of travel technology, envisioning how it might redefine our explorative endeavors. It's about fostering more accessible, enjoyable, and sustainable adventures for all participants. Join us as we unravel how technology imbues our journeys with wonder and possibility.
