While there are people who are happy to spend their holidays lying on a Spanish beach, there are those require a little more adventure. And the adventure market is one that continues to grow. One quick search on the Internet reveals a whole world of possibilities - from white water kayaking and mountain trekking, to scuba diving and extreme snowboarding.
