These are limited in number. Information on a much broader set of products, though with lower reliability and fewer parameters, is available on tour operator website and other marketing materials. Data on price and itinerary are likely to be most reliable. Select any one adventure activity, identify at least 100 individual products, and plot a graph of price per day against number of days. How do your results compare with those reported by Buckley (2007a)? Can you identify upmarket and down-market subsectors?
Most of the major adventure activities can be distinguished broadly along these two product dimensions, but there is some overlap, especially near the centre of each scale. 2 shows the mean price per day, Æ1 standard deviation, for the nine activities where five or more products were audited. The various water-based activities such as whitewater rafting and kayaking (including longer river journeys), sea kayaking, and surfing have similar prices per day. Diving is somewhat more expensive, because of the need for specialist equipment including compressors.
There is a growing research literature on specific commercial adventure activities at particular geographic locations, but the focus is on human experiences rather than product design. Even if the product itself is not the primary concern, however, a number of such studies describe the operational aspects to provide context, and a small proportion address the product structure directly. Outdoor adventure pursuits, as activities rather than products, have been analysed over an extended period by authors such as Ewert (1989).
