The current global (environmental, social, national, political, moral) issues have an impact on the development of society, civilization, culture, while a particularly important object of the impact of these issues is the young generation, especially adolescents. Active tourism is a combination of phenomena and relationships, occurring on the journey, characterized by an active way of travelling on a route, with energy expenditure, made for recreational or sports purposes. In active tourism, there are several types and forms (walking tours, hiking, excursions etc.). The tasks of active tourism can be formulated as follows: socialization and integration of the younger generation, physical training, acquiring technical procedures, tourism exercises and other sports samples (technical training), the acquisition of sport-tourism tactics, the formation of motor skills and abilities, education and the development of intellectual, moral, social and voluntary qualities.
