niche tourism

[scatterbrain]

does anyone here have any advice or experience with this? i have bought some domain names and have some ideas that i personally have experience with and plan to market them. I have secretly been jealous of the people who are mountain and hunting guides or eco-tourism operators in other parts of the globe. it wont make you incredibly wealthy, but it does seem to provide a good income and way of life. People now are are paying to go do all sorts of weird adventures.
