ADVENTURACTION

Training in adventure tourism

Adventuraction is a project that aims to create alternative career opportunities for professional athletes, qualifying them as adventure tourism guides. This initiative addresses the challenge of transition of former athletes to the labor market. Through relevant training and activities, the project aims to improve their skills and knowledge, as they often face difficulties in finding employment after retirement.

Adventuraction benefits athletes, contributes to the development of the adventure tourism sector and promotes environmental awareness.

Through international cooperation and innovative approaches, the project facilitates the integration of former athletes into the work, business and entrepreneurial world of adventure tourism.

Red Deporte has contributed decisively to the development of the adventure tourism module in coastal and mountain areas. Durante 2024, hemos formado a 30 profesionales deportistas en Turismo de Aventura, especialmente enfocado al trabajo con jóvenes.

It is expected to achieve effects such as:

• Sensitization of former and current athletes on professional alternatives.
• Acquisition of the necessary skills to operate in the adventure tourism sector.
• Facilitation of contact between project beneficiaries and the territories where the activity will be developed.
• Creation of employment opportunities for former and current athletes as adventure tourism guides.
• Consolidation of practical skills to guide adventure tourists.
• Increased knowledge of the territories in which the guides operate.

The ultimate objectives include generating employment in the adventure tourism sector and expanding training opportunities.

We look forward to seeing how Adventuraction develops in the coming months and what our partner organizations in Italy, Cyprus, Poland and Greece discover in order to Europeanize adventure tourism and together create a positive social impact on this sport sector in Europe.
