I've noticed quite a bit lately that some people use the term Adventure Travel to refer to any travel to a foreign country to pursue traditional front-country sports such as kayaking and rock climbing. Sometimes, they even use it just to denote travel to less developed countries. Perhaps some mention of the "softening" of the term needs to be made?

==Definition==
I propose a different definition:

Adventure travel is a tourism, involving exploration or travel to risky, dangerous or uncertain areas.

"expect the unexpected" is uncyclopedic

The article Recreation contained a link to active vacation, but I couldn't find anything about it on Wikipedia. Do we really not have anything yet? Can we say that adventure tourism is a form of active vacation?
