Adventure is becoming an increasingly important component of Britons' holidays, it has been claimed.
Indeed, bed and breakfast and other leisure accommodation owners may wish to ensure they have plenty of hotels supplies such as
wholesale towels at the ready for any guests checking in for a break where they plan to surf or water ski.
A recent poll by Travel Alberta listed hot air balloon riding, skiing, white water rafting, snowboarding and climbing as the top ten activities people should try before they die.
Commenting on the findings, Toploader guitarist and travel journalist Dan Hipgrave said: "Activities that came up were skiing, climbing and white water rafting. I've done that and it was amazing and I couldn't get enough of it. I wanted to do it again and again."
Meanwhile, Darlene Fedoroshyn, spokeswoman for Travel Alberta said that such experiences can help people to forget their day-to-day problems and return home feeling invigorated.
