Sustainability of Nepal's community-based homestay ecotourism
Health, hygiene, and safety (HHS) are critical issues in community-based homestay ecotourism (CBHE) to ensure its sustainability, given the realities and concerns of disease, epidemics, and pandemics. HHS measures must be followed to manage potential disease infections for hosts and guests interacting during CBHE experiences. To assess HHS policies and practices in CBHE in Nepal, and within the framework of a sustainable livelihood approach, semi…

From Displaced to Misplaced
This article reports on recreationists’ response to being displaced from their recreation destination or activity. Displacement occurs when visitors leave a site or change activities in response to an unacceptable or adverse change in social, managerial or resource conditions. Specifically, displacement as a response to crowding is examined using a blended analysis of qualitative and quantitative data at Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Are…
Norm Stability
Researchers and managers of parks and protected areas often employ normative theory or a normative approach when attempting to understand and manage visitor use and related impacts. Normative theory and associated approaches use indicators, thresholds, and evaluative dimensions to estimate visitor opinion about desired resource or experiential conditions. However, visitors’ desired conditions are often difficult to study longitudinally. Researche…
Exploring the Impact of Community Conservation Enterprises on Household Livelihoods Around Two Wildlife Areas in Sub-Saharan Africa
The community conservation enterprises (CCEs) approach is used for advancing integrated conservation and development goals in Sub-Saharan Africa. CCEs aim to enhance resident livelihoods and reduce dependency on park resources. However, the impacts of CCEs are rarely demonstrable. This exploratory study of residents living adjacent to the Greater Virunga Landscape (GVL) in Rwanda and Uganda helps to address this gap by examining the household liv…
Integrating emotional affect into bear viewing management and bear safety education

On the edge of the world
Travel to impact-sensitive destinations has been on the rise in recent years. Coined “last chance tourism” (LCT), visitors are increasingly coming to these destinations to see them before they are gone. To offset their presence, which ultimately contributes to site degradation, a possible positive outcome of these LCT experiences is the creation of environmental ambassadors. Utilizing data collected from 189 visitor surveys, the purpose of this s…
Giving voice to heritage tourists
The tourist experience should be placed at the heart of management and planning process to achieve the goal of sustainable heritage tourism. The concept of indicators and standards of quality, which emerged in the field of natural resources and outdoor recreation management as a conceptual framework for understanding visitors’ experiences, has been widely applied in nature-based parks rather than cultural heritage sites. This study applies the co…
The perceived forms and drivers of forest dependence at Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda
This paper explores the perceived forms, and drivers of forest dependence at Volcanoes National Park. Using focus group interviews, we explored the perceptions of forest adjacent residents with direct access to conservation incentives, residents with no direct access to conservation incentives, and senior park managers. The paper reveals dominant forms of forest dependence, including, hunting for bushmeat, extraction of bamboo, bean-stakes, grass…

Crowding standards at Petra Archaeological Park
To achieve sustainability in heritage tourism, tourists should be placed at the heart of the management and planning processes. Indicators and standards-based frameworks were developed in the field of outdoor recreation management to manage and measure crowding and other problematic issues in parks and related areas. Using normative theory and visual research methods, this article aims to examine crowding standards of tourists at Petra Archaeolog…
Place Attachment and Marine Recreationists' Attitudes toward Offshore Wind Energy Development
Renewable energy initiatives are increasing and many locations selected for offshore wind farms are close to recreation resources. Public involvement processes to assess project support are standard in offshore wind energy planning. However, often missing from these assessments are investigations into subpopulations, such as marine recreationists. Using mixed methods, researchers evaluated a scale that measures marine recreationists' (n = 483) at…
Birding by Ear
Soundscapes have become recognized as an important natural resource. The traditional human-made versus natural soundscape comparison currently used in recreational resource management is challenged by borrowing soundscape components (i.e., biophony, anthrophony, geophony) from soundscape ecology. This article evaluated the soundscape preference of birders. A three-component model of recreational specialization was used to evaluate how recreationi…
Shared understandings
Environmental issues are a shared human concern as communities in all nations and geographic regions are grappling with environmental degradation. Despite this concern, there are multiple different viewpoints on the current state of environmental issues and how to understand these problems. Understanding how different communities conceive of the environment and sustainability is paramount in efforts to increase the frequency of environmentally co…
Through Their Lens
This study explores the potential of photovoice for understanding environmental perspectives of teachers in the Narok District of Kenya. The objective of this paper is to share this photo-methodology with environmental educators so they may use it as an innovative methodological tool to understand the construction of environmental perspectives. The researchers analyzed the digital images and the accompanying narratives for themes emerging for eac…
Attitudes toward Water Conservation
Areas affected by drought are increasing, and many lakes that provide potable water and recreation opportunities are located in drought-vulnerable areas. Understanding a population's attitudes toward conservation actions can improve communication initiatives, policy development, and education, which are all necessary for effective water resource management. However, little is known about stakeholders’ interactions with drought-influenced resource…
Serendipity and Independent Travel
The independent travel market is not homogeneous. As smartphones and mobile navigation devices became ubiquitous, independent travellers are now allowed to explore the destination without making detailed plans. The purpose of this study is to explore tourists' preferences for the level of structure vs serendipity in their travel experience, and investigate how different styles of independent travel relate to other tourist behaviour. Findings show…
GPS Tracking of Travel Routes of Wanderers and Planners
Some of the most basic but vital data on recreation and travel behavior at tourism destinations consists of the places people visit, their travel routes, and the amount of time spent at each location. Despite that travel patterns are a fundamental aspect of the tourism phenomenon, little attention has been given to spatial and temporal tourist behaviors. Furthermore, although tourist typologies have identified some differences in visitor behavior…
Quantifying the Role of Viewing the Denali “Big 5” in Visitor Satisfaction and Awareness
Wildlife viewing is a primary attraction at Denali National Park (DNP), with most visitors wishing to observe the “Big 5”: grizzly bear (Ursus arctos), wolf (Canis lupus), caribou (Rangifer tarandus), Dall sheep (Ovis dalli dalli), and moose (Alces alces gigas). This study explored the role of individual “Big 5” species on (a) visitors' wildlife viewing satisfaction, (b) overall trip satisfaction, and (c) awareness of fundamental purposes for est…
Changes in Visitors' Environmental Focus during an Appreciative Recreation Experience
Recreation that involves learning about nature, or viewing, observing, studying, identifying, or photographing nature may be termed appreciative recreation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the on-site phase of an appreciative recreation experience and, specifically, to identify how time spent in a nature-based environment influences the environmental focus of participants. The researchers collected data from visitors (adjusted N = 15…
Normative Standards for Wildlife Viewing in Parks and Protected Areas
With increasing public interest in wildlife watching, there is a need to develop methods to better inform management of quality viewing opportunities. In this study, normative methods using indicators and standards of quality are applied at two diverse parks/protected areas: a popular national park in Alaska and a lesser known wildlife refuge in New Hampshire. Three potential indicators of quality are identified that can be used to help define an…
