Adventure tourism is a fast growing sub-sector of the tourism industry. To better understand the adventure tourism, the risk-taking attitude and the adventure behaviors of recreationists must be considered. This study clarifies these risk-taking attitudes and adventure behaviors by reviewing relevant literature. Recreation experiences, personality, and risk-taking attitude are precedents of adventure behavior. By assessing the factors that affect adventure behavior, adventure tourism managers can provide the best adventure activities for participants.
