  • The ecotourism-extraction nexus and its implications for the long-term sustainability of protected areas

    Open AccessFernanda De Vasconcellos Pegas, Jason Byrne et al.ARTICLEJournal of Political Ecology2016

    Some conservationists assert that multiple-use protected areas can accommodate competing claims for resource use, including extraction (e.g. mining and fisheries) and in-situ use (e.g. ecotourism). This is despite a growing number of studies showing how communities struggling with poverty, isolation, economic stagnation and environmental degradation experience limited benefits from ecotourism. This paper examines opposing claims over resource use…

  • Tourism and CSR

    Roger Buckley, Ralf Buckley et al.CHAPTERRoutledge Handbook of Tourism and…2015

    Corporate social and environmental responsibilities (CSR) are a significant concern throughout the tourism industry, but only sometimes under that name. Some mainstream hotel chains do refer specifically to CSR. Some tourism companies operate social benefit programmes and foundations, but without calling them CSR. There are community tourism enterprises where social benefit is the main aim of the business. In highly impoverished areas, tourism is…

  • Interdependencies Among Traditional Resource Use Practices, Sustainable Tourism, and Biodiversity Conservation

    Fernanda De Vasconcellos Pegas, Julien Grignon et al.ARTICLEHuman Dimensions of Wildlife2015

    Local communities are often encouraged to adopt alternative land-use practices to minimize their impacts on biodiversity. Tourism is one of these practices but it can also impact conservation and traditional resource use activities. Using a review of the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List database as well as nature-based tourism, ethnozoology, ethnobiology, and wildlife conservation and trade literature, we examined the influ…

  • Cattle Ranchers and Agritourism in Oregon, USA

    Fernanda De Vasconcellos Pegas, Fernanda D V Pegas et al.ARTICLETourism Recreation Research2013References: 28

    Cattle ranches are cultural icons in many countries. Still, high costs to maintain ranches may force some ranchers to sell their operation. One income alternative is to diversify into agritourism. Empirical research on ranch agritourism is scarce. This study provides an overview of, and assesses the motivations for, and challenges to diversifying into agritourism from the ranchers' perspective. A survey of 400 Oregon ranchers in 2003 found that 2…

  • Ecotourism and Conservation

    Amanda Stronza, Fernanda De Vasconcellos Pegas et al.ARTICLEHuman Dimensions of Wildlife2008

    This article evaluates two theories to explain the relationship between ecotourism and conservation. One posits that economic benefits must accrue to local communities for ecotourism to result in conservation; the other holds that social benefits, including participation in management, must also be present. Although these ideas about causal mechanisms are not mutually exclusive, scholarly studies tend to reflect one more than the other. Two ecoto…
