Making the high country
Tourism worldmaking theories explain how discourse, representation, and practice shape tourism and leisure spaces, yet can neglect the important roles of law, policy and the economic production of tourism. Law and policy changes can reframe discourses of deviance and economic opportunity and tourism promoters capitalize upon these changes. To illustrate this process of legal change and tourism response, we investigated cannabis tourism in the US …
Contesting the Arctic
As climate change makes the Arctic a region of key political interest, so questions of sovereignty are once more drawing international attention. The promise of new sources of mineral wealth and energy, and of new transportation routes, has seen countries expand their sovereignty claims. Increasingly, interested parties from both within and beyond the region, including states, indigenous groups, corporate organizations, and NGOs and are pursuing …
The fantasy of access
Tourism neoliberalism and the swamp as enterprise
The expansion of globalised neoliberal capitalism has driven communities to seek innovative ways to commodify natural spaces. While in the past, environments in the developed world were cast primarily as sources of raw materials, today such natural spaces are commodified through a combination of conservation and tourism. This accumulation strategy seems to allow states and communities a way to both profit from and save environments by casting tou…
Reliving off The Swamp
The development of ethnic tourism involves a process of community‐ and individual‐level objectification and commodification. To be attractive to outsiders, planners and tourism professionals often present local lifeways as unique and local while and contrasting them to an external globalized world. Using a political economic approach, this paper shows that this process of self‐commodification may give tourism professionals some control over how e…
Finding power in nature tourism
Embodied encounters between humans and gators
Animal geographies have complicated our understanding of human/nonhuman animal relationships by positioning other animals as recipients of human culture and, more recently, by applying theories of embodiment to illustrate the co-constitution of human–animal worlds. This paper addresses human–alligator relationships in Louisiana by illustrating the history and culture of alligator hide production alongside an analysis of human–alligator encounters…

Stakeholders' Attitudes Toward Black Bear in East Texas
This study advances black bear management in East Texas by understanding residents' attitudes toward the return of black bear to the region and potential reintroduction efforts. Six counties in the study have the potential to be impacted by a returning population. The objective was to assess public knowledge, opinions, and attitudes of stakeholders related to black bears, management of particular species, and their habitats. Surveys were mailed t…
