Abstract

The article analyzes the relationship of concepts related to active forms of tourism and recreation, such as "active tourism", "sports tourism", "sports and health tourism", "sports and recreation tourism", "amateur tourism", "adventure tourism" and "extreme tourism". These types of tourism use active means of transportation in the natural environment and the route technologies necessary for this, and have overlapping and overlapping subject areas. All these types of tourism, together with such as natural, responsible, sustainable, ecological, wild, green, soft tourism, etc., use terms to denote them, which reflect the trend of growing interest in nature and caring for the environment, based on the concepts of sustainable, balanced development of tourism. Therefore, they should be attributed to one generalized concept - nature based tourism, which should be understood as any active type of travel carried out directly in the little-changed natural environment, outside man-made landscapes. The concept of active recreation and its types should be defined separately. After all, a number of tourism researchers mistakenly refer to active tourism as some local types of active recreation, extreme entertainment associated with a certain risk to life. More than 50 such extreme types of active recreation have been identified, which can be conditionally divided into 4 groups: land, air, water and snow (winter). However, these types of active recreation in no way fall under the concept of tourism, because they are local in nature, instead, active tourism with its components has a deep route basis.
