16、0.1 Adventure tourismAdventure tourism is a global industry that is growing in importance. Whether provided on a commercial, not-for-profit or charitable basis, adventure tourism activities involve an accepted, inherent element of risk and challenge. Taking risks brings rewards but also brings dange

17、rs. In order to maximize the rewards, adventure tourism activity providers need to operate as safely as practicable.ISO 21101, ISO/TR 21102 and this International Standard provide a basis for adventure tourism activity providers to plan, communicate about, and deliver adventure tourism activities as

18、 safely as practicable.Effective implementation of ISO 21101, ISO/TR 21102 and this International Standard will help consumers make informed choices about activities and providers.0.2 Adventure tourism standardsThe purpose of adventure tourism standards is to set out the minimum requirements for saf

19、ety management systems and communication to participants. They are independent entities since they apply to different aspects of adventure tourism. ISO 21101 specifies how the adventure tourism organization manages its operations in terms of safety; ISO/TR 21102 provides data on the minimum competen

20、ce of adventure tourism activity leaders; this International Standard specifies the minimum information to be communicated to participants and potential participants before, during and after the activity to ensure safety.0.3 Purpose of this International StandardThis International Standard specifies

21、 general requirements for information related to contractual aspects of services that include adventure tourism activities to be provided to potential participants and other interested parties.Provision of accurate information for participants, in conformance with this International Standard, will h

22、elp participants and potential participants make informed choices about activities at the point of booking, during and after the activity. This information ensures that participants understand the risks, and can be prepared in order to mitigate the risk of harm to people and/or damage to equipment.

23、This increases the likelihood of a safe experience.In the context of tourism, adventure tourism activity providers need to consider communication risks, e.g. language differences, that might cause people to interpret information incorrectly. They also need to communicate about the inherent risks in

24、adventure activities. In order to ensure effective communication, the information provided to participants needs to specify what information participants need to submit to the provider.
