    Abstract
    Adventure tour operations change continually, and certainly faster than any one author can keep checking them. Information in the case studies and elsewhere in this volume has been compiled from a variety of written and electronic documents, and personal observations and experiences, which themselves date from different years or even decades. Where possible, publicly available statistical information has been updated during 2005 from tour operator websites and similar sources. These sources, however, may be outdated or inaccurate and no guarantees are expressed or implied regarding any such data. Similarly, experiences reported are generally for a single occasion, which may or may not be representative of the tour product studied, and which may potentially reflect the personal interests of the author and other contributors as well as the char- acteristics of the commercial package. Inclusion of a tour operator, company or product in this volume does not nec- essarily represent endorsement by the author(s), their employers and professional institutions, or the publishers. We have endeavoured to present a range of individual products from a variety of adventure tourism sectors, but this selection necessarily reflects historical coincidences as well as deliberate choices. Some of the tours described here, for example, were taken before the author first commenced academic research in adventure tourism. They are relevant, but not necessarily representative. This book is intended for researchers, lecturers and students engaged in the academic analysis of adventure tourism. It is not intended as a tourist guidebook. As we checked and re-checked information during 2005, we found that relevant websites often changed several times within months; and different websites apparently referring to the same tours often contained conflicting information. If, after reading any of the case studies in this volume, you consider taking that tour yourself, please obtain up-to-date information directly from the operator
