"The spectrum of adventure activities ranging from non-hazardous to high risk has led to the concept where adventure tourism can be categorised as either 'Soft adventure' or 'Hard adventure'. Soft adventure would involve very low risk and may be undertaken by anybody and able, yet they would not necessarily need to have any previous experience in their chosen holiday. Accommodations would be provided and there would be little or no need for participation in anything other than the chosen holiday. Motivation for this would be more to the experience rather than an encounter with any risk. On the other hand, hard adventure would require previous experience, recognised levels of competence, ability to cope with the unexpected and skills associated with type of holiday. While this might imply some sense of risk seeking, Ewert and Hollenhorst (1994: 188) are at pains to suggest that 'although adventure recreators seek out increasingly difficult and challenging opportunities, they paradoxically do not nessarily seek higher levels of risk'."
