- Wildlife watching tourism is an increasingly important niche within nature-based tourism. As this niche continues to grow, care must be taken how tourists interact with the natural environment. One way to manage such interactions is through high-quality guiding, which has been acknowledged as a key element of wildlife watching tourism. The guide’s role was first conceptualized by Cohen (1985), who divided it into the instrumental, social, interactional, and communicative components. While several studies adopt Cohen’s framework, it is also argued that there are elements to nature guiding which are not fully covered (Randall & Rollins, 2009). In this chapter, we investigate the guide’s role in the context of wildlife watching tourism, using Cohen’s framework as a starting point. We compare musk ox safaris in Dovrefjell, Norway to Polar Bear tourism activities in Svalbard, Norway and Churchill, Canada using data from travel party interviews, participant observations and content analysis of online reviews. Findings reveal two additional components to guiding wildlife experiences: The uncertainty component and the encounter component. Based on these findings, we suggest an expanded model of the guide’s role when guiding wildlife watching tourism activities.

The nature-based tourism product

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Nature-based tourism products are complex constructs delivered to satisfy increasingly diverse expectations from nature-based tourists. This is typically done by offering a mix of products and services related to the tourists’ participation in various outdoor activities. This chapter provides a discussion about the nature-based tourism product from a supply perspective based on previous product models and data from interviews with tourism providers in Norway. We propose a two-layer model where the core includes primary experiences, which together with the place, the activity and the provider’s dedication form the product foundation. Combined with the value-generating elements in the outer layer, this model provides an approach to better understand the value-adding experiences upon which the nature-based tourism product depends.

20 years of Nordic nature-based tourism research : a review and future research agenda
- 2021

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper provides a review of research in nature-based tourism in the Nordic region, discuss it from an international viewpoint and provide an outlook for the future research agenda. To do this, we analyze the Scandinavian Journal of Hospitality and Tourism for papers focusing on nature-based tourism from 2010 to 2020, as well as 29 key textbooks representing international scholarship within the last decade. We argue there has been an increase in the number of studies looking at nature-based tourism from the supply side, especially about destination development, lifestyle entrepreneurship and the role of guides. We also notice that many research questions are raised from practical needs, while more theoretically oriented research is rather limited. The international call for new, bold theoretical outlooks, the need to reimagine and fundamentally transform human-nature relationships towards sustainability and co-existence remains relevant for the Nordic context in the future.

Approaches to foresight recreation and tourism in nature : Experiences from the Nordic Region
- 2023. - 1st
-
Ingår i: The Routledge Handbook of Nature Based Tourism Development. - London : Taylor & Francis. - 9781003230748 - 9781032137704 ; , s. 131-148

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This chapter discusses approaches to do foresights in outdoor recreation and tourism in nature, based on research from the Nordic countries. This region has a long-standing reputation for promoting outdoor recreation, with associated policies aiming to support this tradition for the benefit of future generations and environmental engagement. To do so successfully, one key input is improving the knowledge of outdoor recreational participation, associated trends, and future development. In this chapter, we therefore review different monitoring approaches to trend analyses as a means of forecasting participation and discuss supplementary approaches to foresight in outdoor recreation. We operationalize the Nordic context through studies undertaken in Finland, Sweden, Denmark, and Norway. Our examination shows that the tradition of national surveys and on-site visitor monitoring has proven effective. However, contemporary changes in society call for additional approaches to better understand future outdoor recreation. We therefore share experiences from several different approaches to foresight in outdoor recreation. This will inform future research as well as managers, entrepreneurs, planners and policymakers in their decision-making.

Nature-based tourism in a Nordic context
- 2021
-
Ingår i: Nature-based Tourism. - Cheltenham, UK : Edward Elgar Publishing. - 978 1 78990 402 4 ; , s. 2-15
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this chapter, we describe the Nordic region as a tourist destination primarily illustrated with examples from Norway, Sweden and Finland. The east–west and north–south gradients of these countries capture many of the special features of nature-based tourism in the Nordic region. In the context of tourism, it makes sense to speak in terms of a destination rather than a region, being a key concept of institutionalized tourism. However, regardless if one takes an economic geography, marketing management, customer, or cultural oriented approach (Saraniemi and Kylänen, 2011), we believe the Nordic region has much in common also as a tourist destination. We also argue there is a common understanding of what nature-based tourism is among the Nordic countries, which can be expressed as human activities occurring when visiting nature areas outside the ordinary neighborhood, or put differently, where the key attraction factor is nature and key activities are based on the nature environment (Koivula and Saastamoinen, 2005). For a more in-depth discussion about definitions of nature-based tourism we refer to the Introduction to this volume.

Pandemin har visat att vi behöver stärka friluftslivet

Tidskriftsartikel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Pandemin har visat att vi behöver stärka friluftslivet. Samtidigt har samhällets brister i arbetet med att främja förutsättningarna för ett hållbart friluftsliv blivit tydliga. Pandemin har visat naturens betydelse för många människors välbefinnande. Vi har nu en rad förslag för att öka friluftslivets samhällsnytta och naturturismens värdeskapande.
