Abstract
ABSTRACT Understanding relevant subgroupings, among local and traveling recreational fishers, is critical for the tourism sector and fisheries managers. Subgroups may notably differ in fishing activity styles, commitment, traveling across provinces and demand for fishing activities. We analyzed survey data originally collected from registered Finnish recreational fishers in 2018. The reported number of fishing days and methods were used to construct profiles. Separate travel cost models were then fitted to explain factors associating with recreational fishing activities in the main fishing provinces, using the variety of cost, demographics, and profile as explanatory variables. The recreational use value of a fishing day and the total recreational use value of fishing in Finland were estimated. The most attractive province, Lapland, received the highest number of visiting fishers, and highest use value per fishing day. Active anglers spent more days fishing in Finland in general and in Lapland than other profiles. Active generalists were more frequent fishers in Southern Savonia and in marine areas than other profiles. The most common fishing destination for Finnish recreational fishers was their own residential province. These findings help fishery managers identify the most potential areas for improving fishing opportunities and to predict changes in visitation behavior.
期刊介绍:
Scandinavian Journal of Hospitality and Tourism is the leading Nordic journal for hospitality and tourism research. SJHT aims at initiating and stimulating high-impact and innovative research relevant for academics and practitioners within the hospitality and tourism industries. The journal takes an interdisciplinary approach including, but not limited to geography, psychology, sociology, history, anthropology, and economics. SJHT encourages research based on a variety of methods, including both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The journal covers all types of articles relevant to the Nordic region, as well as the North Atlantic, North Sea and Baltic regions. We also welcome reviews and conceptual articles with a broader geographical scope that clearly enhance the theoretical development of the hospitality and tourism field. In addition to research articles, we welcome research notes and book reviews. Published articles are the result of anonymous reviews by at least two referees chosen by the editors for their specialist knowledge.
