Abstract: The drive for sensational, adventurous and unique experience is a growing tendency in contemporary society. Services adapt to this demand and communication is a main tool of support for these redefined services. Communication can redefine every known type of service by shaping expectations regarding interaction among parties, place of action, time of use, management methods, results and purpose of the information. The mass tourism is evolving into a variety of forms and one of the segments growing in importance is the Adventure tourism which requires, along with the complex and demanding activity, a more specific and canalized interaction on all levels and in all stages. The perception of an activity or a place, the gained support, the safety measures, emergency situations and general opinion are results of the marketing communication. This study observes the Adventure market in terms of reasons, types and trust, by leading a qualitative exploratory research and in-depth interviews with 18 actors and participants and expressing ways of adequate addressing. Romania is a newcomer on the Adventure tourism market and provides opportunities to test approaches.
