Why is extreme ‘frontier travel’ booming despite the risks?

The world watched in shock as rescue crews feverishly search for the Titan submersible vehicle, which disappeared while attempting to take tourists to view the wreckage of the Titanic in the North Atlantic. This travel, known as “frontier tourism”, is becoming big business. Frontier tourism is an exclusive and extreme form of adventure travel. The very expensive trips aim to overstimulate the senses and go to the outer limits of our planet – the deep oceans, high mountains, polar areas – and even space.
