The Adventure Tour Operators Association of India (ATOAI) will host a seminar titled ‘Indian Adventure Tourism: Risk Management’ at The Park Hotel on May 18, 2026.
The initiative comes at a time when adventure tourism is witnessing strong global growth, with the segment valued at approximately USD 683 billion in 2024. India is increasingly positioning itself to capitalise on this momentum and strengthen its standing as a leading global adventure destination.
ATOAI emphasised that safety remains central to the sector’s credibility, investor confidence and long-term growth. The association aims to position India among the top ten global adventure tourism destinations by 2034, supported by stronger risk management frameworks and standardised safety protocols.
While several standards have already been developed, the association highlighted the need for wider industry adoption, supported by a more uniform regulatory and monitoring framework across states, along with robust risk mitigation systems.
Ajeet Bajaj, President, ATOAI, said, “India’s immense adventure tourism potential must be anchored in robust risk management and uncompromising safety standards. This seminar is a significant step towards building a unified, future-ready framework that inspires confidence among all stakeholders.”
The seminar will bring together policymakers, state representatives, industry leaders and international experts to deliberate on key areas including global and Indian best practices in risk management, safety frameworks across land, water and air-based activities, insurance and legal compliance, regulatory strengthening, and the role of media in shaping consumer awareness and accountability.
The discussions are expected to culminate in the formulation of a National Roadmap for Adventure Tourism Risk Management, aligned with global benchmarks and tailored to India’s diverse geographical landscape.
