An adventure tourism business is “a natural or legal person who, for remuneration, offers the public or travel intermediaries adventure and ecotourism activities, i.e., led and guided or self-guided activities in contact with nature and the culture of a given site or territory. These activities involve a degree of risk, and are not necessarily geared toward wildlife harvesting. The business controls the components of the products it offers, and possesses the staff and equipment to offer and lead its adventure tourism and ecotourism activities. It may also offer these activities as part of guided packages.”
