山区作为旅游目的地具有吸引力。登山是一项历史悠久的冒险运动，以体力活动，挑战和冒险为基础。到目前为止，这一直是一个有经验的精英的保留，其方法是自力更生和独立经营的缩影。登山者与游客之间的社会界限正变得模糊。现有的旅游理论未能捕捉到新兴山地旅游业的微妙之处。探险旅游加快了山区商品化的明显趋势。有证据表明，由于一些城市特征进入荒山地区，促进了民主化进程，“成为一名登山者”的基本要素被冲淡了。
Mountains are attractive as tourism destinations. Mountaineering is a long established adventure sport predicated on physical activity, challenge, and risk-taking. It has been, hitherto, the preserve of an experienced elite whose approach is epitomized by self-reliance and independent operation in such destinations. Social boundaries separating mountaineers from tourists are becoming blurred. Existing tourist theory fails to capture the Subtleties of emergent mountain-based tourism. Adventure tourism has accelerated a discernible move towards the commodification of mountains. Evidence suggests a dilution of the essential ingredients of "being a mountaineer" as a result of a democratization process facilitated by the arrival of some urban characteristics in wild mountain regions.
