Foreword

ISO (the International 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 established 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 standardization.

Introduction
Adventure tourism

Adventure 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 dangers. In order

to maximize the rewards, adventure tourism activity providers should operate as safely as practicable.

ISO 20611, ISO 21101, ISO 21102 and ISO 21103 provide a basis for adventure tourism activity providers

to plan, deliver and inform about adventure tourism activities as safely as practicable.

Effective implementation of these documents will help consumers and other participants make

informed choices about activities and providers.
Adventure tourism standards

The purpose of these documents is to set out the minimum requirements for safety management

systems and information to participants.

The following four documents are independent entities since they apply to different aspects of

adventure tourism:

— ISO 20611: provides requirements and recommendations on good practices for sustainability

(environmental, social and economic aspects) for adventure tourism activities;

— ISO 21101: specifies how the adventure tourism organization manages its operations in terms

of safety.

NOTE A practical guide for SMEs – ISO 21101, Adventure tourism — Safety management systems is a handbook

that offers step-by-step guidance and examples to help small and medium-sized adventure tourism operators

to develop, implement and continually improve a safety management system following the requirements of

ISO 21101.

— ISO 21102: specifies the minimum requirements and recommendations of competencies and the

related expected results of competencies for adventure tourism activity leaders common to any

adventure tourism activity;

— ISO 21103: specifies the minimum information that shall be communicated to participants and

potential participants before, during and after the activity.
Purpose of this document

Adventure tourism terminology is an important way to align terms to enhance the safe delivery of

adventure tourism activities.

This document specifies most common terms and their definitions used in adventure tourism

activities. This document was developed to make easier the understanding of adventure tourism

terms in this market.
