传统的旅游就是去景区，参观相应的景点，这种方式的优点在于配套和管理都很成熟，安全有保障，体 验感一般不会太差。但缺点也很明显，比如同质化现象严重，除却少数具有独特资源的景区外，很多景 区的看点差不多。久而久之，大家就容易产生审美疲劳，但"出去走走"的需求摆在那，于是越来越多的 人开始不走寻常路，组队开展户外活动，去野山野湖探险，诸如此类，甚至已经成为一种时尚。以致国 内不少地方都出现了以身试险的极端现象，悲剧频发，问题值得引起注意。 为此，各地及相关部门纷纷示警，提醒不要轻易去探险，这样的呼吁无疑很有必要。但细想一下，背后 的需求的确客观存在。过去，社交媒体上流传来自国外的各种极限运动或户外内容的短视频，很多操作 让人惊叹，也引起关于安全话题的讨论，不少网民调侃说这就是"外国人少的原因"。其实，当经济发展 到一定阶段，人们的收入水平提高，传统旅游的吸引力必然下降，人们会产生新的需求。在这样的背景 下，文旅领域需要新思路、新创意，在关注那些冒险行为的安全风险之余，相应的需求以及由此产生的 市场机遇，无疑也值得重视。 张家界七星山景区的荒野求生挑战赛，无疑是景区一次很好的营销。这项赛事如何发展，选手还会给外 界带 ...
