6、l Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been es
7、tablished has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardi

In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance

Whether provided on a commercial, not for profit or charitable basis, adventure t
13、ourism activities involve an accepted, inherent element of risk and challenge. Taking risks brings rewards but also brings dangers. In order to maximize the rewards, adventure tourism activity providers should operate as safely as practicable. ISO 21101, ISO/TR 21102 and ISO 21103 provide a basis fo
14、r adventure tourism activity providers to plan, communicate about, and deliver adventure tourism activities as safely as practicable. Effective implementation of these International Standards will help consumers make informed choices about activities and providers. Adventure tourism standards The pu
15、rpose of these International Standards is to set out the minimum requirements for safety management systems and communication to participants. The following two International Standards are independent entities since they apply to different aspects of adventure tourism: ISO 21101: specifies how the a
16、dventure tourism organization manages its operations in terms of safety. ISO 21103: specifies the minimum information that shall be communicated to participants and potential participants before, during and after the activity to ensure safety. ISO/TR 21102: provides data on the minimum competence of
17、 adventure tourism activity leaders. Purpose of this Technical Report Adventure tourism activity leaders competences for conducting participants and assuming responsibility for them is a critical factor in ensuring delivery of safe adventure tourism activities. Competence is a concept that involves
18、not only skills but also a knowledge of attitudes or attributes. Depending on the type of adventure tourism activity (rafting, hiking, cascading, climbing, among others), different competences are required. Nevertheless, there are some competences that are common to every adventure tourism activity.
19、 These common competences (and the respective expected results) are the focus of this Technical Report. It is expected that competent leaders for specific adventure tourism activities will use this Technical Report as a reference. ISO 2013 All rights reserved v Adventure tourism Leaders Personnel co
