Abstract

ABSTRACT Wildlife watching tourism show rapid growth worldwide and activities based on a variety of species receive increased attention in the tourism literature. Understanding the relationships between experiences, product delivery and the setting is particularly important in wildlife watching tourism, since the main attraction (wild animals) can be threatened if managed incorrectly. Research investigating the dynamics of participants’ experiences, also beyond encounters with the target species, will help tourism providers develop more enjoyable products, that participants’ will recommend to others. Using musk ox safaris in Dovrefjell Norway as our case, we examine this taking the tourism experiencescape model of Mossberg (2007) as a point of departure. Data were collected with a combination of participant surveys, on-site observations and interviews. Findings indicate that elements seen as individual aspects of the experience in other tourism settings are more connected in a wildlife watching context. We conclude that guiding and interpretation is a key factor for satisfaction in wildlife watching tourism.

野生动物观赏体验:挪威多夫菲尔-桑达尔斯国家公园麝牛之旅的案例

摘要野生动物观赏旅游在世界范围内迅速发展，基于各种物种的活动在旅游文献中越来越受到关注。了解体验、产品交付和环境之间的关系在野生动物观赏旅游中尤为重要，因为如果管理不当，主要景点（野生动物）可能会受到威胁。调查参与者体验动态的研究，也包括与目标物种的接触，将有助于旅游提供商开发更令人愉快的产品，参与者将向其他人推荐。以挪威Dovrefjell的麝香牛狩猎为例，我们以Mossberg（2007）的旅游体验景观模型为出发点进行了研究。数据是通过参与者调查、现场观察和访谈相结合的方式收集的。研究结果表明，在其他旅游环境中，被视为体验的个体方面的元素在观看野生动物的环境中联系更紧密。我们得出的结论是，导游和解说是野生动物观赏旅游满意度的关键因素。

期刊介绍： Scandinavian Journal of Hospitality and Tourism is the leading Nordic journal for hospitality and tourism research. SJHT aims at initiating and stimulating high-impact and innovative research relevant for academics and practitioners within the hospitality and tourism industries. The journal takes an interdisciplinary approach including, but not limited to geography, psychology, sociology, history, anthropology, and economics. SJHT encourages research based on a variety of methods, including both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The journal covers all types of articles relevant to the Nordic region, as well as the North Atlantic, North Sea and Baltic regions. We also welcome reviews and conceptual articles with a broader geographical scope that clearly enhance the theoretical development of the hospitality and tourism field. In addition to research articles, we welcome research notes and book reviews. Published articles are the result of anonymous reviews by at least two referees chosen by the editors for their specialist knowledge.
