Active Tourism on Saint Helena Island

Remigiusz Mielcarek

Abstract

St Helena Island is situated in the southern waters of the Atlantic Ocean, although so isolated from the rest of the world (no air connection) attracts foreign tourists. They reach the island only by sea. Many tourists are inspired to travel there by the history of the last five years of Napoleon Bonaparte, who was sent into exile on the island by the British. After arriving at St Helena tourists discover, however, its natural beauty and they practice active tourism to various extent. The statistics of tourism flow show a sharp decline in the influx of tourists in recent years. However, together with a huge decrease in the influx of cruises tourists, there is observed a substantial increase of tourists who prefer hiking along designated tourist trails. In a group of people who prefer an active tourism, more on sea than inland, are the yacht sailors. Their number on the island has remained at a fair stable level in recent years.(original abstract)
