Emerging themes and reflections from the 10th International Outdoor Education Research Conference, Japan
The International Outdoor Education Research Conference (IOERC) series connects outdoor educators across the globe and continues to progress in impact and reach. This paper aims to summarise key insights from the 10th IOERC and foster continued growth and collaboration with international outdoor education authors. IOERC 10 brought together 187 delegates from 24 countries, with 138 abstracts received from 19 countries. The themes emerged as (A-Z):…
Urban community resilience at the food-tourism nexus: Silences, paradoxes and opportunities
Restoring ‘Love of Life’ Through Outdoor Adventures: A Biophilic Approach
This study, through the concept of biophilia, examines how we can restore a ‘love of life’ in a world often characterised by rationalisation, destruction and alienation from self and nature. Specifically, we observe how outdoor adventures during travels might contribute to the development of biophilic feelings. To this end, we employed a hermeneutic phenomenological approach to analyse the narratives from nine participants in the UK, Germany and …
Tourist re-enchantment: Cultivating Planetary Wellbeing Through More-Than-Human Entanglements in the Forest
Attending to the broader wellbeing debates, this study examines the interplay between forest-based tourism practices and sustainability. It does so by building on Max Weber’s notion of disenchantment of the world to explore how planetary wellbeing can be cultivated through the commercial practice of forest bathing. In positioning the study within the Serbian context, we build on feminist new materialist ideas to explore the ways in which broken t…

Walled off: Tourism and justice in oppressed communities
Attending to the emergent debates on tourism and (in)justice, this study critically examines the role of the Walled Off Hotel, Banksy's tourism-artistic intervention in Palestine, in constructing justice. Utilising the evidence from 15 in-depth empathetic interviews, it explores the ways in which local residents make sense of the Hotel and how they frame and experience (in)justices. While demonstrating how these interpretations are entangled with…
Developing Forest Therapy Programmes Based on the Health Benefits of Terpenes in Dominant Tree Species in Tara National Park (Serbia)
Numerous medical studies have shown the positive effects of forests on different aspects of human health. This study deals with the content of major terpenes in dominant coniferous species in Tara National Park, Serbia, in order to explore the potential for the development of a novel health tourism programme based on forest therapy. Main terpenes were analysed using a headspace-sampling technique coupled with gas-chromatography-mass spectrometry …
Forest bathing as a mindful tourism practice
In the troubled times in which we currently live, the tourism industry has called into question a need for more responsible social practices and more mindful utilisation of natural environments. The Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing, has not only become a new wellness trend, but also a great potential for deeply immersive tourist experiences. While there is a wealth of studies examining the positive effects of forest bathing fo…
Consuming dark sites via street art: Murals at Chernobyl
Challenges in outdoor tourism explorations: An Embodied Approach
Methodological challenges are rarely discussed in depth among outdoor adventure tourism scholars. Despite the prevailing quali- tative approaches in this field, and the recognition that the fleet- ingness of the human experience and the non-linearity and unpredictability of the more-than-human world have the power to influence the research process, the messy, negotiated and often contested researcher’s role has been less considered. In addressing…
Shaping tourists’ wellbeing through guided slow adventures
Against the backdrop of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 3, good health and wellbeing, this paper reports on a study that examined how outdoor guides perceive their role in facilitating the psychological wellbeing of tourists who consume slow adventure experiences. These experiences, such as canoeing, stargazing or foraging, are characterised by a slower passage of time, immersion in the natural world and a sense of belonging to s…
