摘要：Adventurous activities can be both beneficial and perilous
for health, because the circumstances differ and because
of external and not always controllable factors, which may
influence the outcomes. Therefore, any company, which
organises adventurous activities, needs to present effective
risk management and valuable safety measures in order to
respond to its participants’ safety and satisfaction. This
study, which was performed in the Greek company .Trekking
Hellas., aimed at asserting the importance of risk management
for adventure tourism. The data that were collected
through personal, semi – structured interviews with the
company’s managers and participants have shown that the
particular company has made notable attempts to establish
an organised and well-controlled risk management.
This has been accomplished through implementing a
methodical risk assessment and operating all necessary
safety measures. The research, also, discussed the influence
that the above might have had on the clients’ motivation
for participation. Finally, the data have pointed out the
significance that risk management has for the success of
every activity and in extent, for the success and promotion
of the company.
