ABSTRACT The COVID-19 pandemic is having a huge impact on global tourism, including wildlife tourism. Based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), risk perceptions of wildlife tourism are explored and a structural equation model is created of the influence of COVID-19 on tourists’ behavioral intentions in China. A total of 677 quantitative surveys were obtained in April and May 2020. The results indicate that attitude, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control all have predominantly significant positive effects on behavioral intentions regarding tourism and protective behavior. In addition, approximately 70% of respondents considered the COVID-19 pandemic had increased their perceptions of risk and weakened their behavioral intentions regarding wildlife tourism and animal protection. This study contributes to the literature on wildlife tourism in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and provides timely practical insights into guidelines for the wildlife tourism industry, as well as safety precautions.
摘要新冠肺炎疫情对包括野生动物旅游在内的全球旅游业产生了巨大影响。基于计划行为理论,探讨了中国野生动物旅游的风险认知,建立了新冠肺炎对旅游者行为意向影响的结构方程模型。2020年4月和5月共进行了677次定量调查。结果表明,态度、主观规范和感知行为控制对旅游行为意向和保护行为都有显著的正向影响。此外,约70%的受访者认为新冠肺炎大流行增加了他们对风险的认知,削弱了他们对野生动物旅游和动物保护的行为意图。这项研究为新冠肺炎大流行背景下的野生动物旅游文献做出了贡献,并为野生动物旅游业的指导方针以及安全预防措施提供了及时的实用见解。

ABSTRACT The participation of citizens in science projects has been increasing over the past two decades and has proven to be of great importance for biological research, specially for obtaining essential biodiversity data. Citizen science participation can be greatly improved through information and communication technologies (ICT). Therefore, our aim is to gather information about the biodiversity present in the Limón campus of the UCR through a combination of literature review and the participation of local citizens. We identified species of flora and fauna present in the campus through photographs and videos of organisms received from students and personnel of the Limón campus of the University of Costa Rica. Such visual material was collected by using ICT. We analyzed a total of 889 contributions from which we identified 144 species of fungi, plants and animals. The most used ICT to share photographs and videos was the multimedia messaging service WhatsApp, and organisms that usually generate negative perceptions like insects and reptiles were the most recorded. We conclude that citizen participation using ICT is an effective way to collect information for biological inventories. Such information can then be used to carried out environmental education and promote a location as a tourist destination.
在过去的二十年中,公民对科学项目的参与越来越多,并已被证明对生物学研究,特别是获取必要的生物多样性数据具有重要意义。通过信息和通信技术(ICT)可以大大改善公民科学参与。因此,我们的目标是通过文献综述和当地公民参与相结合的方式,收集有关UCR Limón校园生物多样性的信息。我们通过哥斯达黎加大学Limón校区的学生和工作人员提供的生物照片和视频,确定了校园内的动植物种类。这些视觉材料是通过ICT收集的。我们总共分析了889份贡献,从中我们确定了144种真菌、植物和动物。使用信息通信技术分享照片和视频最多的是多媒体信息服务WhatsApp,而昆虫和爬行动物等通常会产生负面印象的生物记录最多。我们的结论是,使用ICT的公民参与是收集生物清单信息的有效方法。这样的资料可以用来进行环境教育和促进一个地点成为旅游目的地。

ABSTRACT Ecotourism has been introduced in many areas with a high natural value to create a synergy between environmental conservation and local development. However, ecotourism initiatives that are socially and environmentally sustainable frequently struggle to achieve economic viability. The present paper takes a closer look at the factors that limit sustainable ecotourism development. It studies 19 ecotourism firms in Los Tuxtlas (Mexico). In this area, the ecotourism sector has been developing for three decades but recently has entered a state of crisis. The situation is analyzed by applying a multi-scale analysis framework, which classifies the obstacles in different thematic areas. Two main aspects are considered: the stakeholders involved and the spatial levels where the obstacles originate. The main aspects identified were the region's climate, a lack of promotion, poor road conditions, an economic crisis in the region's primary visitor market, and the Mexican public safety crisis.
摘要生态旅游已被引入许多具有高自然价值的地区,以在环境保护和地方发展之间创造协同效应。然而,具有社会和环境可持续性的生态旅游举措往往难以实现经济可行性。本文深入探讨了制约生态旅游可持续发展的因素。它研究了Los Tuxtlas(墨西哥)的19家生态旅游公司。在这一地区,生态旅游部门已经发展了三十年,但最近进入了危机状态。通过应用多尺度分析框架对情况进行分析,该框架对不同主题领域的障碍进行了分类。考虑了两个主要方面:涉及的利益攸关方和障碍产生的空间层面。确定的主要方面是该地区的气候、缺乏宣传、道路条件差、该地区主要游客市场的经济危机以及墨西哥的公共安全危机。

ABSTRACT This paper aims to measure the satisfaction level of tourists on the attributes associated with adventure lodges. The Holiday Satisfaction Model (HOLSAT) was used to determine the gaps between the expectations of tourists and the experience on 21 adventure lodges attributes. Results were drawn from a questionnaire survey of 280 Malaysian and international tourists who visited the Tadom Hill Resorts located in Selangor, Malaysia in 2018. Data derived from the analysis was plotted into a two-dimensional graph showing the mean score for expectations (Y-axis) plotted against the mean score of experiences (X-axis). Findings reveal that only three attributes gave the most satisfaction to tourists with a significant level at 0.001, with one attribute showing a significant level of dissatisfaction by the tourists. Therefore, the attributes that failed to satisfy tourists should be further investigated to develop strategies to attract tourists and the development of the adventure tourism industry in Malaysia.
摘要本文旨在测量游客对探险小屋相关属性的满意度。使用假日满意度模型(HOLSAT)来确定游客对21个探险小屋属性的期望与体验之间的差距。该结果是对2018年访问马来西亚雪兰莪州塔多姆山度假村的280名马来西亚和国际游客进行问卷调查得出的。从分析中得到的数据被绘制成二维图表,显示期望的平均得分(y轴)与经验的平均得分(x轴)。结果显示,只有三个属性对游客满意度最高,显著水平为0.001,其中一个属性显示游客的不满意度显著水平。因此,应该进一步调查不能让游客满意的属性,制定吸引游客和发展马来西亚探险旅游业的策略。

ABSTRACT Wildlife tourism uses various stimuli to attract species and facilitate close encounters. Such activities are often referred to as provisioning, however the term is used interchangeably, and sometimes erroneously, with attracting, feeding, luring, and chumming, all of which lack consistent definitions. Here, we review the current use of provisioning-associated terminology in marine bird, teleost (bony fish), marine mammal, marine reptile, ray and shark tourism, within the scientific literature and on tourism operator webpages. We then propose to reclassify provisioning into Feeding, Attracting, and Modifying habitat, providing eight specific terms that reflect: (1) if the stimulus exploits wildlife appetite or search for preferred habitat; (2) the nature of the attractant (consumable or not); (3) the intention of the activity if using consumable attractants (direct, indirect, or incidental feeding) or modified habitat (intentional or repurposed modification); and (4) which species are affected by the activity (target or non-target species). We applied these terms to wildlife tourism around the world to gain better insight into tourism practices across taxa. Clarifying the terminology describing these wildlife interactions ensures they can be accurately described in the scientific literature, which will in turn help resource managers and industry groups to systematically assess these diverse activities.
摘要野生动物旅游利用各种刺激来吸引物种并促进近距离接触。这类活动通常被称为供应,但该术语与吸引、喂食、引诱和亲密关系可互换使用,有时甚至是错误的,所有这些都缺乏一致的定义。在这里,我们回顾了科学文献和旅游运营商网页上目前在海鸟、硬骨鱼、海洋哺乳动物、海洋爬行动物、鳐鱼和鲨鱼旅游中使用的供应相关术语。然后,我们建议将供应重新分类为喂养、吸引和改变栖息地,提供八个具体术语来反映:(1)刺激是否利用了野生动物的食欲或寻找首选栖息地;(2) 引诱剂的性质(是否可消费);(3) 如果使用消耗性引诱剂(直接、间接或偶然喂食)或改良栖息地(有意或重新利用的改良),则活动的意图;以及(4)哪些物种受到该活性的影响(目标物种或非目标物种)。我们将这些术语应用于世界各地的野生动物旅游,以更好地了解不同分类群的旅游实践。澄清描述这些野生动物相互作用的术语可以确保它们在科学文献中得到准确描述,这反过来将有助于资源管理者和行业团体系统地评估这些多样的活动。

ABSTRACT The COVID-19 outbreak has caused a global turmoil which restricted movement and consequently, diminishing domestic and international travel. One that is severely affected is ecotourism in National Parks, that involves visiting fragile, pristine and undisturbed natural areas. One of the major concerns for ecotourists in destination decision-making is travel risk that could affect their safety. This study aims to examine their risk perception and how it affects the behaviour of ecotourists in Taman Negara National Park, Malaysia. The data was collected from 406 respondents and analysed using structural equation modelling. It is concluded that risk perception affects tourists’ decision-making, whereby health and safety information preference is the strongest predictor, and media’s influence has a very significant connection. This study has the potential of contributing to the management of ecotourism destinations in times of crisis. It also fills the literature gap on risk perceptions of ecotourists’ during the COVID-19 pandemic.
摘要新冠肺炎疫情引发了全球动荡,限制了行动,从而减少了国内和国际旅行。其中一个受到严重影响的是国家公园的生态旅游,即参观脆弱、原始和未受干扰的自然区域。生态旅游者在目的地决策中的主要担忧之一是可能影响其安全的旅行风险。这项研究旨在检验他们的风险认知,以及它如何影响马来西亚Taman Negara国家公园生态旅游者的行为。数据收集自406名受访者,并使用结构方程模型进行分析。结果表明,风险感知影响游客的决策,其中健康和安全信息偏好是最有力的预测因素,而媒体的影响具有非常显著的联系。这项研究有可能在危机时期为生态旅游目的地的管理做出贡献。它还填补了新冠肺炎大流行期间生态旅游者风险认知的文献空白。

Managing the safety of nature? Park visitor perceptions on risk and risk management 管理自然安全?公园游客对风险的认知及风险管理

ABSTRACT An important focus of risk management in national parks is the interplay between how risk is perceived and how visitors would like risks to be managed. This paper presents the results of a study that investigated visitors’ expectations on how the risk of injury should be controlled by park management agencies, linking it with perceptions on park dangerousness and confidence to deal with unexpected adverse events. Results of our survey among visitors in two Western Australian national parks, Karijini and Stirling Range, suggest that visitors tend to approve risk management intervention. However, higher levels of risk control were linked to a lower likelihood that visitors thought that the park was dangerous. Visitors establish a sense of safety from the park management context when the park appears to be managed well. Given that national parks are never free of risk, the management challenge is to balance legal and moral obligations along with societal expectations, without reducing visitors’ appreciation of risk.
摘要国家公园风险管理的一个重要焦点是如何感知风险和游客希望如何管理风险之间的相互作用。本文介绍了一项研究的结果,该研究调查了游客对公园管理机构应如何控制受伤风险的期望,并将其与对公园危险性的感知和应对意外不良事件的信心联系起来。我们对两个西澳大利亚国家公园Karijini和Stirling Range的游客进行的调查结果表明,游客倾向于批准风险管理干预。然而,风险控制水平越高,游客认为公园危险的可能性就越低。当公园管理良好时,游客会从公园管理的背景中建立起安全感。鉴于国家公园从来都不是没有风险的,管理的挑战是在不降低游客对风险的认识的情况下,平衡法律和道德义务与社会期望。

ABSTRACT Adventure tourism and nature-based tourism are increasing at the same time that negative effects from land development, forest fragmentation, and climate change continue to worsen. In Costa Rica, over half of the international visitors cite nature and adventure as the main reason for their visit. However, adventure-oriented facilities are underused for disseminating information about environmental conservation. With visitor surveys and manager interviews, we assessed demographics, visitor knowledge, interest and behaviors towards conservation and education of tropical forests in Monteverde, Costa Rica. Results suggested that visitors surveyed both before and after their visit to Selvatura Adventure Park agreed that they were interested in tropical forest conservation, and owners and managers of adventure parks in the region sought to improve their conservation and visitor education efforts. Adventure parks appear to be potential facilities that could supplement conservation education in the Monteverde region and may be increasingly important with continued land development pressures.
探险旅游和自然旅游在增长的同时,土地开发、森林破碎化和气候变化的负面影响也在不断加剧。在哥斯达黎加,超过一半的国际游客将自然和冒险作为他们访问的主要原因。然而,以冒险为导向的设施没有充分利用来传播有关环境保护的信息。通过游客调查和管理者访谈,我们评估了哥斯达黎加Monteverde热带森林保护和教育的人口统计、游客知识、兴趣和行为。结果表明,在参观Selvatura冒险公园之前和之后接受调查的游客都同意他们对热带森林保护感兴趣,该地区冒险公园的所有者和管理者试图改善他们的保护和游客教育工作。探险公园似乎是潜在的设施,可以补充蒙特韦德地区的保护教育,随着土地开发的持续压力,它可能越来越重要。

In Costa Rica, over half of the international visitors cite nature and adventure as the main reason for their visit. However, adventure-oriented facilities are underused for disseminating information about environmental conservation. With visitor surveys and manager interviews, we assessed demographics, visitor knowledge, interest and behaviors towards conservation and education of tropical forests in Monteverde, Costa Rica. Results suggested that visitors surveyed both before and after their visit to Selvatura Adventure Park agreed that they were interested in tropical forest conservation, and owners and managers of adventure parks in the region sought to improve their conservation and visitor education efforts. Adventure parks appear to be potential facilities that could supplement conservation education in the Monteverde region and may be increasingly important with continued land development pressures.","PeriodicalId":39714,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ecotourism","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2021-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14724049.2021.1933503","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43503377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ABSTRACT We analyse motivations and perspectives of outdoor tourists and tourism stakeholders in the Islamic Republic of Iran. We use semi-structured qualitative interviews, and interpretivist grounded theory, with basic and axial coding and fine-scaled differential narrative analysis. We distinguish three principal tourist segments, seeking: exhilaration through adventure; enjoyment of nature; and escape from cultural restrictions and associated social surveillance. The nature and adventure segments behave as ecotourists, and gain improved eudaimonic wellbeing. Nature tourists gain psychological restoration through calm and tranquil nature contemplation. Adventure tourists gain psychological recharge through challenge and achievement. The escape segment, in contrast, aims for hedonic wellbeing, is heedless of its social and ecological impacts, and does not behave as ecotourists. It adopts an ecotourism disguise, to avoid being observed as it flouts expected cultural norms. It uses unauthorised and clandestine logistics providers, creating substantial management obstacles for authorised commercial outdoor tour providers. Temporary escape from social surveillance generates mental health gains as a psychological safety valve for the tourists concerned, but their behaviour imposes unsustainable costs on local communities, natural environment, nature and adventure tourists, and outdoor tourism operators. These costs reduce the net social economic gains achieved from the mental health benefits of outdoor tourism.
摘要:我们分析了伊朗伊斯兰共和国户外游客和旅游利益相关者的动机和观点。我们使用半结构化的定性访谈和基于解释主义的理论,以及基本和轴向编码和精细尺度的差异叙事分析。我们区分了三个主要的旅游板块,寻求:通过冒险获得刺激;享受自然;以及摆脱文化限制和相关的社会监督。自然和冒险部分表现为生态旅游者,并获得改善的生态健康。自然游客通过平静、宁静的自然沉思获得心理恢复。探险游客通过挑战和成就获得心理上的充电。相比之下,逃生部分旨在追求享乐幸福,忽视其社会和生态影响,并不像生态旅游者那样行事。它采用了生态旅游的伪装,以避免被忽视,因为它无视预期的文化规范。它使用未经授权的秘密物流提供商,为授权的商业户外旅游提供商制造了巨大的管理障碍。暂时逃离社会监督会为相关游客带来心理健康收益,作为心理安全阀,但他们的行为会给当地社区、自然环境、自然和冒险游客以及户外旅游经营者带来不可持续的成本。这些成本降低了户外旅游对心理健康的益处所带来的净社会经济收益。

ABSTRACT Individuals can play a critical role in reducing pressure on ecosystems. However, they are often not aware of their ecological footprints as they behave in ways that support their own interests. At the same time, society would benefit if we all act pro-environmentally. Using Millennials as an illustrative example and ecotourism as a study setting, this study introduces Goal Framing Theory for tourism scholars to discuss integratively how motives coexist and how they influence individuals’ choices, acts, and pro-environmental behaviour in tourism destinations. The analysis demonstrated the normative frame's prevalence by demonstrating the interrelation between the ecocentric system of beliefs, individuals’ predisposition for ecotourism, and specific behaviour intention. The findings suggest that ecocentrism within the study group reflects increasing concerns about the human-induced changes within the ecosystem and tourism growth. Results emphasise the benefits and the importance of the integrative analysis of individuals’ behaviour and suggest several new research avenues.
个体在减轻生态系统压力方面发挥着关键作用。然而,他们往往没有意识到自己的生态足迹,因为他们的行为方式支持自己的利益。与此同时,如果我们都采取环保行动,社会也会受益。本研究以千禧一代为例,以生态旅游为研究背景,引入目标框架理论,为旅游学者综合讨论动机如何共存,以及它们如何影响旅游目的地个人的选择、行为和亲环境行为。该分析通过展示生态中心信仰体系、个体生态旅游倾向和特定行为意愿之间的相互关系,证明了规范框架的普遍性。研究结果表明,研究小组中的生态中心主义反映了人们对生态系统和旅游业发展中人为变化的日益关注。结果强调了个人行为综合分析的好处和重要性,并提出了几个新的研究途径。
