Regenerative tourism represents a sustainable way of travelling and discovering new places. Its main goal is for visitors to have a positive impact on their holiday destination, meaning that they leave it in a better condition than how they found it. A concept that goes beyond "not damaging" the environment and that aims to actively revitalise and regenerate it, resulting in a positive cycle of impacts... on local communities and economies : sustainable regeneration. 2, record 2, English, - regenerative%20tourism

Eco-tourism and adventure tourism are closely aligned but they are often differentiated in two ways. One difference is the degree of risk involved in the activities. Many people, for example, would call a snowboarding holiday more of an adventure than an eco-tourism experience because of the higher degree of risk. Another distinction is linked to the level of motorized transportation involved. Adventure tourism may make use of vehicles such as snowmobiles or helicopters for heli-skiing. While these are common distinctions, there are no hard rules for differentiating the two. Some activities could be labeled as adventure tourism, eco-tourism, recreation and outdoor pursuits at the same time. Indeed, some people may view biking through the mountains as adventure tourism while others might call it eco-tourism because they are out in nature enjoying the spring wildflowers. 3, record 4, English, - adventure%20tourism

Le tourisme d'aventure est une forme de tourisme en région éloignée, sauvage ou dans un milieu inusité, qui peut entraîner un contact avec les populations locales, qui est associé à un certain degré de danger et qui exige un effort physique et des moyens de locomotion non traditionnels. Il existe deux types de tourisme d'aventure : l'aventure dure et l'aventure douce. Le tourisme d'aventure est en vogue de nos jours. Toutefois, il est encore difficile de s'entendre sur sa définition. D'abord considéré comme un type de tourisme quelque peu dangereux et réservé aux intrépides aventuriers, il s'applique maintenant à un tourisme plus facile d'accès et qui, bien que pratiqué en milieu naturel, peut prendre forme à proximité des villes. En effet, les citadins au confort douillet recherchent des sensations fortes qu'ils trouveront en pratiquant des activités de plein air dans des milieux inusités. Cette catégorie comprend neuf activités : baignade, canyoning, deltaplane, escalade, parapente, planche à voile, rafting, traîneau à chiens, vélo de montagne. 2, record 4, French, - tourisme%20d%27aventure

Le tourisme équitable est un concept plus récent, qui se réfère à celui du «commerce équitable» où une relation s'établit entre le producteur et le consommateur, de telle sorte que les intermédiaires restent sous la vigilance de réseaux. Il permet ainsi une rémunération équitable du «producteur» (l'hôte du pays d'accueil), et réduit les aléas du commerce entre régions consommatrices riches et «productrices» pauvres et dépendantes. L'adaptation de la notion d'équité au tourisme reste délicate à cause de la complexité du marché touristique, qui n'est pas réductible à une simple transaction entre producteurs et consommateurs. 3, record 5, French, - tourisme%20%C3%A9quitable

Le tourisme équitable est un ensemble d'activités et de services, proposé par des opérateurs touristiques à des voyageurs responsables, et élaboré par les communautés d'accueil, autochtones (ou tout au moins en grande partie avec elles). Ces communautés participent de façon prépondérante à l'évolution de la définition de ces activités (possibilité de les modifier, de les réorienter, de les arrêter). Elles participent aussi à leur gestion continue de façon significative (en limitant au maximum les intermédiaires n'adhérant pas à ces principes du tourisme équitable). Les bénéfices sociaux, culturels et financiers de ces activités doivent être perçus en grande partie localement, et équitablement partagés entre les membres de la population autochtone. 4, record 5, French, - tourisme%20%C3%A9quitable

El turismo justo es un concepto más reciente que hace referencia al de "comercio justo", en la que se establece una relación entre el productor y el consumidor, de tal forma que los intermediarios quedan bajo la vigilancia de redes. Permite de este modo una remuneración equitativa del "productor" (el anfitrión del país de acogida) y reduce los gajes del comercio entre regiones consumidoras ricas y "productoras" pobres y dependientes. La adaptación de la noción de equidad al turismo resulta delicada a causa de la complejidad del mercado turístico, que no es reducible a una simple transacción entre productores y consumidores. 1, record 5, Spanish, - turismo%20justo
