World travelers keener on hiking and biking?

From a survey involving 4000 travelers: NEEDHAM, Mass., October 25, 2006 - TripAdvisorâ„¢, the largest travel community in the world, today announced the results of its annual travel trends survey of nearly 4,000 travelers, globally. Pining for Pine Trees: Forty-three percent of travelers are likely to go hiking, up from 24 percent one year ago, and 39 percent intend to partake in adventure activities (such as parasailing and whitewater rafting), up from 29 percent last year. [hmm, seems high compared to actual travelers, but still perhaps of interest] More women than men plan to participate in outdoor activities in 2007 according to the survey. [Seems odd to me that folk will hike, yet on paranoid side re hygiene. ... Going Green: Thirteen percent of travelers are likely to use a bicycle as a means of transportation for their next vacation, eleven percent will go sailing and four percent will ride in a rickshaw. Not one Asian destination among the top ten hot world destinations for 2007 (more evidence that should take the survey with pinch of salt, Ayr in Scotland is among the places). www dot tripadvisor dot com/pages/press_news_102506.html [haven't given full address as tripadvisor annoys me; has blank pages for a host of places, claiming to give info but with nothing, and ranking pretty well in google]
