Abstract

With the continuing biodiversity crisis in New Zealand, an increasing number of eco-sanctuaries have been established to restore local ecology through the active management of invasive predator species, in combination with the translocation of endangered endemic wildlife. Seeking to achieve the (near) complete restoration of pre-human ecosystems, many of these projects are community-led social enterprises where tourism is developed for operation revenue and conservation advocacy. This paper explores perceptions of ecological restoration and tourism by individuals involved in the management and operation at New Zealand mainland eco-sanctuaries and considers implications for the co-creation of visitor experiences. Informed by theories of environmental philosophy, it presents an analysis of 14 in-depth interviews. The findings reveal that the philosophies of the participants can either challenge visitors to reflect upon their ecological perspectives or pay increased attention to visitor interests and accommodate diverse perspectives in the provision of the tourist experience. This paper contributes new knowledge by identifying participants’ eco-centric and shallow anthropocentric environmental ethics and dilemmas facing tourism development at community-led ecological restoration sites. In doing so, it considers the possibility that co-created visitor experiences at eco-sanctuaries can challenge the environmental philosophies of visitors.

在Aotearoa(新西兰)生态保护区共同创造生态恢复体验:一种环境哲学方法
随着新西兰生物多样性危机的持续,越来越多的生态保护区已经建立,通过积极管理入侵的捕食者物种,结合濒危的地方野生动物的迁移,来恢复当地生态。为了实现(近乎)完全恢复人类之前的生态系统,这些项目中的许多都是社区主导的社会企业,在这些企业中,旅游业的发展是为了获得运营收入和保护宣传。本文探讨了参与新西兰大陆生态保护区管理和运营的个人对生态恢复和旅游业的看法,并考虑了对共同创造游客体验的影响。在环境哲学理论的指导下,本文对14次深度访谈进行了分析。研究结果表明,参与者的哲学可以挑战游客反思他们的生态观点,也可以在提供旅游体验时更多地关注游客的兴趣并适应不同的视角。本文通过识别参与者以生态为中心和浅层以人类为中心的环境伦理,以及社区主导的生态修复点旅游发展面临的困境,提供了新的知识。在这样做的过程中,它考虑了在生态保护区共同创造的游客体验可能会挑战游客的环境哲学。

期刊介绍: Tourist Studies is a multi-disciplinary journal providing a platform for the development of critical perspectives on the nature of tourism as a social phenomenon through a qualitative lens. Theoretical and multi-disciplinary. Tourist Studies provides a critical social science approach to the study of the tourist and the structures which influence tourist behaviour and the production and reproduction of tourism. The journal examines the relationship between tourism and related fields of social inquiry. Tourism and tourist styles consumption are not only emblematic of many features of contemporary social change, such as mobility, restlessness, the search for authenticity and escape, but they are increasingly central to economic restructuring, globalization, the sociology of consumption and the aestheticization of everyday life. Tourist Studies analyzes these features of tourism from a multi-disciplinary perspective and seeks to evaluate, compare and integrate approaches to tourism from sociology, socio-psychology, leisure studies, cultural studies, geography and anthropology. Global Perspective. Tourist Studies takes a global perspective of tourism, widening and challenging the established views of tourism presented in current periodical literature. Tourist Studies includes: Theoretical analysis with a firm grounding in contemporary problems and issues in tourism studies, qualitative analyses of tourism and the tourist experience, reviews linking theory and policy, interviews with scholars at the forefront of their fields, review essays on particular fields or issues in the study of tourism, review of key texts, publications and visual media relating to tourism studies, and notes on conferences and other events of topical interest to the field of tourism studies.
