Political/legal:
The first operating license from the department of conservation was only for 30 days, for those 30 days 28 people paid $75 dollars each to leap off the 43m bridge, but it wasn’t long before word spread and New Zealand and Queenstown in particular were considered prime destinations on the world adventure tourism map. Economic:
AJ Hackett Bungy had a huge economic effect on New Zealand because it put New Zealand on the adventure tourism map and helped to bring more visitors to New Zealand. Approximately 350,000 people visit the Kawarau Bridge Bungy annually, with about 35,000 doing the jump. Social/cultural: Some social/cultural factors played a big role in the development of the AJ Hackett Company because visitors such as Chinese and Indians don’t traditionally participate in high adrenalin filled activities. AJ Hackett knew that Chinese and Indian numbers in particular were expected to increase in the coming years. Technological: As many people started bringing their own digital cameras and video-enabled phones the company knew that they would have to implement technological factors into the bungy experience such as, different range of photos from cameras throughout the bungy site and also interact with the multimedia system immediately to relive every moment of their exhilarating jump. Environmental: The environmental factors included in AJ Hackett Bungy were that jumpers have the option to bob above, touch or be fully immersed in the water.

    Vanuatu’s land diving is an extreme bungee jump. For boys, land diving is a huge leap into manhood (Hagman). “According to legend, the land dive originated when a frightened wife, attempting to escape from husband, climbed a tall tree. He sighted and then pursued her, but just before he reached her she called him a coward and dared him to jump after her. She leaped head first. Seeing her land unhurt, he accepted the dare, jumped and crushed his skull. She had secretly tied lianas around her ankles. When the village men found out, they were humiliated, so they built a tree, tied vines to their ankles and leaped…

With every passing year more and more people aspire to see the beauty of the underwater world, to go down from a hillside by ski or even to jump with a parachute. This paragraph will talk about one of the most popular extreme tourism- snowboarding. Snowboarding- descent from the mountain on a specially equipped board. This sport more aggressive, active and more extreme than mountain skiing. Snowboarding as a separate kind of sports has appeared in America in the 60`s. Sworn admirers of this modern hobby generally became surfers, who did not wish to sit at home with nothing to do other than wait for the summer days. Special routes with springboards and other possible obstacles on which snowboarders can show their proficiency have recently appeared all over the world. However the last especially popular among snowboarders became the "half-pipe" - a construction from snow, similar to the stage for scooters.

    Firstly, to give you all a clearer image about bungee jumps, I would like to mention about the history of bungee jumping. Bungee jumping is a sport that dramatically evolved over the past couple decades. The first bungee jumping is based on an age-old ritual practiced by the “ land divers” of Pentecost island in Vanuantu. Male villagers jumped from wooden platforms with vines tied to their ankles. It was seen as a rite of passage to manhood and a test of courage. Next, the pioneer of modern commercial bungee jumping is A J Hackett, a New Zealander. Hackett performed the first commercial bungee jump in 1986 in Auckland and opened the first permanent bungee site in the world at Kawarau Bridge, Queenstown. As bungee jump evolved, there are more and more commercial bungee site to fulfill the wish of the adventurous people. The most famous bungee jump commercial site is located at Macau tower in China, its height is 233m which is the tallest in the world while Verzesca Dam in Switzerland at 220m placed behind Macau tower.…
