      abstract = {Hungary offers abundant opportunities for discovering the  mysterious world of caves. In Hungary there are around 4100  caves; although only a small number of them are open to the  public, they offer a variety of attractions. As they are an  important part of tourism, switching them, exploring them  and making them accessible for a wider audience generates  interest for visitors from different parts of the country.  The adrenaline releasing sports offers us new ways of  coping with stress, and has had an increasing importance in  our lives in the 21st century. Discovering these  underground miracles presents a new challenge for  travelers. The interest in caves exploded in the 20th  century, when ecotourism, longing to get back to nature,  and the goal of improving one’s health became leading  motivations for travelling. The present research is aimed  at surveying, to what extent students of the recreation  department are familiar with the opportunities provided by  cave tourism and how up-to-date their related knowledge is.  The following work introduces opportunities in cave tourism  and intends to expose upon gaps in the related marketing  strategy. The research questions are the following: Are  students familiar with opportunities of cave tourism? What  services do the caves they know offer? Are they up-to-date  in cave-related news? On what forums do cave tourism  appear?},
