It must also be recognized that in any situations there will be those who perceive no risk and accordingly practise no approach to risk management at all At the same time,we must note that the division between physical and non-physical adventure tourism and risk is largely artificial.In most cases adventure tourism has both physical and non-physical elements,and the risks associated with it are of both types too. For example, a young female backpacker travelling through South-East Asia faces both physical risks (attack or illness) and non-physical risks (verbal sexual harassment and the constant attention of beggars).
