Introducing Extreme Hangout Local - Our Global Series For Young Change-makers Around the World
Following two incredible Extreme Hangouts at COP26 Glasgow and COP27 Egypt, The Extreme Hangout has launched its global series. Extreme Hangout Local is our global climate-impact series to give young change-makers around the world a voice, popularise the climate movement and inspire environmental action.
With PwC signed up as the first global sponsor and 68 groups from around the world already registered to host an event within their local communities the foundations are set to fly!
The first cohort of Extreme Hangout Local includes Fiji, Nigeria, Argentina, Uganda, Canada, Rwanda, Portugal, Tanzania and the UK, and we couldn’t be more excited, with the Extreme Hangout Dar Es Salaam, kicking things off on the 24th June followed by Extreme Hangout Kisumu on the 27th June, then on to the Extreme Hangout London on the 30th June.
Read on to learn more about other events coming near you, how you could host your own Extreme Hangout Local and our involvement in COP28 UAE.
Out & About with EXTREME Destinations
Beyond the RFPs, business development meetings, networking summits, trade shows and events, Q1 of 2023 has also been about exploration and discovery for the EXTREME Destination team. You can’t create or operate in a destination if you haven’t done your homework. Only then can you provide visitors with a truly immersive destination experience.
Where did we go?
Intriguing Saudi Arabia: The RCU Bike Symposium was a fun way to discover the living museum that is AlUla followed by a tour of the scenic Asir Province. Strikingly contrasting landscapes and breathtaking sceneries within one country, is a strong reminder of the vastness of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, its appeal to adventure travel enthusiasts and its ability to satisfy the desire for more experiential adventure travel.
Adventurous Portugal: A few days spent scouting Portugal, left the team excited by the opportunities and the future of extreme and adventure sports and travel in this country. The terrain, landscape, climate, accessibility, the people, culture and cuisine provide that perfect blend for the ultimate adventure travel destination.
The Arabian Travel Market, Dubai: EXTREME Destination Managing Director, Ben Barker and the EXTREME Destination Hospitality Director, Marc Myers, spent a few days meeting the leaders and industry professionals at the Middle East’ largest travel trade event.
Future Hospitality Summit Riyadh: From the 07th-09th May, Ben and Marc were in Riyadh to learn more about investments, entrepreneurship, sustainability, innovation and more in the Saudi Arabian and Middle Eastern hospitality industry.
Eco- Resort Network Montenegro: Marc Myers discussed hospitality and adventure as part of a panel presentation during this event that took place from the 24th-25th May.

Marine-Time in Saudi
The EXTREME Marine team have been busy in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia over the past few months from the operation of the NEOM Beach Games at the end of 2022 to the ongoing development of a major sailing strategy project designed to establish a sailing culture both in the leisure and commercial maritime industries across the Kingdom.
In view that the team are also working on marine and safety consultancy across several GIGA projects in the destination, they took the time to tour its breathtaking coastline, building on their knowledge and understanding of its topography and natural wonders, its culture and heritage, its people, its needs and potential.
The development of many of these projects requires a holistic view thus the ongoing collaboration with the EXTREME Destinations team to bridge the gap between marine and leisure and tourism destination.
