Southern and eastern Europe proving popular for adventure trips

9 Jan 2012

Countries in southern and eastern Europe are attracting lots of interest from people planning adventure holidays in 2012, an expert on the sector has revealed.

Rosie Fuller, editor of Adventure Travel magazine, singled out Macedonia, Montenegro and Romania as countries that are set to welcome more visitors on trips of this kind in the coming year.

Commenting on the market in general, Ms Fuller said there are 'loads' of exciting destinations emerging, including some Middle Eastern and central Asian nations that are not commonly associated with tourism.

'I've seen a particular interest in the "stans", with readers beginning to report back from treks to Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and the Wakhan Corridor in Afghanistan,' she commented.

Adventure Travel magazine is a bi-monthly publication covering an array of outdoor activities and experiences in destinations all over the world, with recent features focusing on topics such as a six-day expedition competition taking place in Mongolia next year and a recently-launched race to the South Pole.
