Travelling underwater, to the top of a faraway mountain and even on a spaceship—extreme adventure tourists are always looking for the next excitement. But with extreme adventure comes extreme risk. Should adventure tourism be allowed? Here are four kids' opinions.
Cecilia, 9 Adventure tourism should be allowed. It encourages people to be adventurers. It also provides more chances for family fun, which happens less and less these days as technology improves. On the other hand, it helps the environment. The more people enjoy nature, the more they would like to protect nature.
Yeonjae, 11 Adventure tourism should not be allowed because it's not worth the risk. Dangerous activities can have a negative impact on the tourists and the environment. When adventure tourists get hurt or lost, the police and rescue teams are needed. Also, wildlife can be harmed.
Shaurya, 11 People should have the right to go on an adventure. If you don't want to go, you don't have to. Adventure tourism helps clear your mind. It allows you to connect with nature and stay away from your day-to-day work. Travel helps people widen their horizons and see the world in a better way. It allows them to connect with people and learn new cultures.
Emery, 11 Adventure tourism can be very expensive and dangerous. It can cost so much to travel on a spaceship. People may die during an avalanche when they go for mountain tourism. It's just too dangerous, and it's not worth the risk. And tourism of all kinds results in pollution and littering.
