DEFINITIONS FOR TOUR OPERATORS WISHING TO BE LISTED:
Apply for a listing >>
The travel-quest expeditions section is intended for listing organised groups undertaking adventurous journeys with a definite purpose – to climb an unclimbed or little climbed mountain, to explore a remote and little visited area, or to search for previously undiscovered historical remains are examples. Our expeditions section deals with the sort of trips that don't appear in standard adventure holiday brochures, they will usually one-off trips and
will tend to be tend to be fairly unique. The expeditions will often be specialist in nature and may require specific skills and knowledge from the participants (e.g. skills in caving, sailing, mountaineering, archaeology, botany ...). Deciding if trips are true expeditions or just very adventurous tours is not always easy, in such cases a travel-quest editor will make the final decision.
