“Making the wolffish personal”: Exploring the role of tourism for wildlife equity and biocultural conservation
Promoting an alternative understanding of sustainability based on interspecies equity has become increasingly important in the tourism sector. We present an analysis of interspecies relationships to more deeply inform biocultural conservation interventions and the sustainable management of marine tourism destinations. By applying the critical biocultural identity framework to a qualitative case study, we explore how relationships between tourism …
Saving animals or saving face? Avoiding welfare-washing in animal tourism partnerships
Across the globe, millions of animals are utilized in the tourism industry every year. The complexities involved in animal tourism, and the conflicting interests of stakeholders, has led to travel and tourism companies forming partnerships with animal welfare organizations. In this paper, we postulate that these partnerships not be taken at face value as an advance toward animal justice. Additionally, we suggest that while animal advocacy groups …
Animal Traffic: Lively Capital in the Global Exotic Pet Trade
Animal Traffic is a probing and digestible read about the exotic “pet” trade. Collard contextualizes the animals involved as “lively objects”—their personalities and individual characteristics are enjoyed and encouraged—up to the point when they must be constrained to fit into a distinctly human way of existing. For some, this may include performing as a revenue stream for others, or it may mean to simply exist within our confines and represent o…
Come on, baby, smile: Moving through women’s anger while travelling
Anger, an emotional response to an external or internal perceived threat, violation, or injustice can be a powerful tool and motivator, especially in the case of women who have historically lived in a society steeped in patriarchal structures. This inequity within patriarchal societies often intersects with deeply ingrained racist, homophobic, ableist, and sexist stereotypes. Although anger has been explored within the broader context of leisure,…

Morality on holiday: Inspiring ethical behaviour in animal-based tourism through non-moral values
Despite the progression of animal welfare within the tourism literature and the industry itself, a significant change in public behaviour remains to be seen. Anthropocentric views of animals as objects are still widespread. This paper proposes a new approach to engaging the public in ethical behaviours by meeting visitors where they are in terms of their values and priorities. Drawing on Susan Wolf’s work, we propose a realistic line of attack to…
Making kin and making sense of human-animal relations in tourism
The aim of this study is to explore how tourism operators make sense of the abilities and needs of working animals during the co-creation of a tourism experience in order to make kin across species. We refer to sense-making as the process in which tourism actors interpret the context, plans, actions and outcomes relating to animal-based tourism. We examine this phenomenon through the eco-feministic lens of making kin and staying with the trouble …
Exploring non-human work in tourism: From beasts of burden to animal ambassadors
Critical animal studies is increasingly interfacing with tourism research in an effort to shed light on the various ways animals are incorporated into touristic experience. Exploring non-human work in tourism: From beasts of burden to animal ambassadors builds upon the theoretical connections of animal ethics, agency, and welfare as it foregrounds specifically the work that animals perform in the industry. While some types of animal labor are mor…
Tourism Experiences and Animal Consumption: Contested Values, Morality and Ethics
This chapter focuses on the island nation of Iceland (population 333,000) and considers the ways in which charismatic marine fauna such as cetaceans (whales, dolphins, and porpoises) and puffins have become iconic and symbolically significant objects of exchange in tourism marketing on the island. Cetaceans and puffins are used to market wildlife tourism and specific regions and to sell souvenirs, and in the process are personified and made amica…

An exploration of recreational activities while travelling relative to psychographic tendencies
Through focusing on active and adventure tourism, a niche of travel becoming increasingly relevant today, this study investigated the association between the preferred recreation activities of individuals while travelling and their psychographic profile characteristics based on Plog’s [(1972). Why destination areas rise and fall in popularity. Paper presented to the Travel Research Association, Southern California Chapter, Los Angeles] model of a…
Scientific Tourism: Researchers As Travellers
As researchers in emerging economies, scientists are often the first foreign visitors to stay in remote rural areas and, on occasion, form joint venture ecotourism and community tourism projects or poverty alleviation schemes between local agencies or NGOs, the local community, and their home institution or agency. They therefore can contribute to avenues for the conservation of natural resources and the development of rural communities as well a…

A Spatial Analysis of Tourism, Entrepreneurship and the Entrepreneurial Ecosystem in North Carolina, USA
In light of the projected long-term national economic trends, the vulnerability of rural regions, and the difficulty of small businesses to stay solvent, it is imperative to understand the critical elements within a small business' operating environment or “ecosystem” that support or thwart entrepreneurial activity. Using the 100 counties of North Carolina as a case study, the purpose of this research project was to determine which entrepreneuria…
Science and industry: Sharing knowledge for innovation
An exploration of gendered systems theory on women-owned businesses in emerging tourism destinations: Future directions
The impacts of tourism on host communities are numerous, complex, and at times nuanced. As a result, tourism researchers have placed heavy emphasis on the exploration and identification of these impacts, including how the community responds. Some of the more understated impacts, such as the role of women in tourism development, can be more difficult to understand. This is especially the case in emerging destinations, where communities in the prim…
Perceived Impact of a Naval Base on a Tourism Destination
Perceptions toward tourism development have been explicitly and extensively investigated within the tourism literature. However, there is little study of perceptions toward non-tourism development (NTD) in tourist destinations. NTD in a tourist destination may be unavoidable, because as tourism grows, the destination may need more facilities and infrastructure to meet the needs of tourists and residents. Alternatively, the NTD may not enhance tou…
Development of Visitor Identity through Study Abroad in Ghana
During the summers of 2006–2009, groups of U.S. college students completed a cross-disciplinary study abroad experience in Ghana, West Africa, entitled 'Landscapes in Ecotourism.' Beyond topical issues of community landscape design and sustainable tourism development, broad themes were explored including (a) cultural awareness of Ghana and Africa, (b) the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade (TAST), and (c) the concept of African Diaspora. This study sough…

Ten Categories of Entrepreneurial Climate to Encourage Rural Tourism Development
Entrepreneurship has been embraced in the last decade as a strategy for rural economic development, especially in areas where traditional industries have declined. Rural tourism development, which is largely leisure‐based and can encompass many segments of tourism such as agritourism, ecotourism, and cultural‐heritage tourism, has also emerged as a tactic for communities to tap into their natural and cultural assets as a means of sustainable reve…
