Seattle, WA (August 5, 2015) – The Adventure Travel Trade Association (ATTA; www.adventuretravel.biz) partnered with Outside Magazine to survey outdoor enthusiasts and adventure travelers to release a new report “Attracting and Serving the U.S. Adventure Traveler.” The target audience for the report is adventure companies interested in building their business with U.S. travelers, with information on: favored destinations for U.S. adventure travelers, most common adventure activities, average adventure trip duration, common booking tools used and primary traveler profiles / personas.
The report is the result of reviewing the ATTA’s 2014 U.S. Adventure Pulse alongside a second survey, conducted March 2015, where the ATTA and Outside Magazine posed select questions from the U.S. Adventure Pulse to a panel of respondents drawn from Outside Magazine readers, Outside online users and Outside television viewers. The Outside study involved a panel of 680 respondents, 80% male, 20% female. There were 1700 respondents to the U.S. Adventure Pulse survey: 49% male, 51% female.
“The Outside panel provided fresh insight to the extensive data we had from the U.S. Adventure Pulse,” said ATTA Director of Research Christina Beckmann. “Adventure tour operators and adventure travel gear retailers will find unique opportunities for product innovation and marketing strategies in the pages of this report.”
Readers of the report will learn the best window for capturing travelers’ attention as they begin planning their next adventure and the best social media channels, review sites and travel magazines to reach adventure travelers. They will also see which destinations U.S. travelers visited most recently and which destinations they wish to visit next.
“Attracting and Serving the U.S. Adventure Traveler” is available as a free download from the ATTA’s Online Research Center.
