Exploring recreational hunters’ perspectives on shifting from hunting to working in tourism
There are growing pressures on the environment from both natural and human stressors, impacting both protected and unprotected areas. Illegal and irresponsible use of environmental resources harms the health of ecosystems and the well-being of people. Confronting these challenges requires promoting sustainable practices to ensure the long-term health of the environment. In this context, tourism has gained widespread recognition as a tool to enhan…
Tour guides’ interpretation and tourists’ pro-environmental behavior
Although tour guides’ role in encouraging pro-environmental behavior has been confirmed in the literature, little research has been undertaken to examine how world heritage site (WHS) type may influence the relationship between tour guides’ performance and tourists’ pro-environmental behavior. The difference between cultural world heritage and natural world heritage in terms of tourists’ behavior is under-explored. This research aims to assess th…
Climate change through the eyes of recreational hunters
Climate change is increasingly recognized as a serious threat to wildlife globally. Environmentally unsustainable human activities do not only damage wildlife resources but also contribute to exacerbating the impacts of climate change. The objective of this research is to assess how local hunters in the Dana Biosphere Reserve perceive climate change and its impacts on wildlife resources, and to understand their adaptive responses to these impacts…
How are value orientations toward intangible cultural heritage important to local cultural festival development
How does interpretive tour guiding promote tourists’ pro-environmental behaviour? Evidence from Tanzania
Tour guides play a central role in the implementation of sustainable tourism practices through maximizing tourists’ appreciation and enjoyment of the destination and minimizing their negative impacts. Utilizing Stimulus–Organism–Response framework, this study aims to examine how tour guide performance directly and indirectly predicts tourists’ pro-environmental behaviour. Confirmatory Factor Analysis and Structural Equation Modelling were used to…
Climate change adaptation and implementation barriers
Increasingly, tourism is negatively impacted by climate change and needs to advance adaptive strategies. This study assessed climate change adaptation measures and barriers to implementation in Dana Biosphere Reserve (DBR), the most important ecotourism destination in Jordan using semi-structured interviews with key informants. It was found that DBR has implemented several adaptation practices, but mostly implicit, including infrastructure develo…
Preservation vs. use
Heritage sites are shared by several stakeholders with different values that leading multiple interpretations and uses. Tourism stakeholders play critical roles in developing and planning sustainable heritage tourism. However, little research has been conducted to investigate simultaneously their value perceptions toward heritage sites. Using Petra Archaeological Park as an example, this paper addresses the issue of the perception attached by tou…
Protected area tourism in Jordan
Despite the current wide-spread interest in protected area tourism, it continues to be relatively new phenomenon among Jordanians. Although much research has been conducted on this phenomenon, little attention has been focused on the study of protected area tourism in the Arab World. Given this lack of research, particularly in Jordan, the study reported here explores Jordanians visits to protected areas, focusing on their level of visitation, th…
