| For both men and women, the benefits of adventure travel
can be great. The more physically strenuous vacations have
obvious health benefits and can help build self-esteem
through accomplishing difficult tasks.----------------------------

The "peak experience" you have when reaching the summit
of a mountain can be achieved by accomplishing any physical
goal. Physical challenges require intense concentration and
focus, which is a great mental workout.--------------------------

Aside from building self-esteem, there are other
psychological benefits. A sense of danger and stepping into
the unknown can be a mentally stimulating experience. Many
adventurers say that they encounter a heightened sense of
self and feel more alive during their journey. A sense of calm
and clear headedness also contributes to the psychological
gains of adventure tourism [source: Swarbrooke]. Emotional
and spiritual discovery are important elements of adventure
travel. Some may find it at the top of Mount Everest, while
others can gain it through a calming bird-watching tour.
