Experiential tourism is an approach that takes tourists from being mere observers to placing them at the center of the experience, encouraging them to learn new things and personally develop during their travels. The study explores the perceptions of tourists who participate in paragliding regarding their experiences with adventure and experiential tourism. Paragliding involves uncertainty, risk, adrenaline, adventure, and experience, as opposed to the traditional understanding of travel as safe and guided. This study aims to uncover the relationships between risk, benefit, evaluation, co-creation, trust, satisfaction, and future intention among local and foreign tourists participating in paragliding activities within an experiential context. Therefore, the study examines the relationships of the experiential perceptions of tourists participating in paragliding. In the data collection phase, researchers conducted face-to-face questionnaires with 381 local and foreign tourists who experienced tandem paragliding activity in Fethiye Babadag. After eliminating incomplete or incorrectly filled surveys, 321 surveys were analyzed. The data were processed using SPSS 27 and AMOS 23 statistical package programs. The research focuses on the perceptions of paragliders’ experiential risk, benefits, value, co-creation, trust, satisfaction, and future intentions. Structural equation modeling was applied to examine these perceptions. The results suggest that there are positive correlations between various aspects of experiential tourism, such as benefits and satisfaction, benefits and trust, satisfaction and future intentions, and trust and future intentions. However, the study did not find any connection between experiential evolution and satisfaction, or between experiential evolution and trust. Similarly, there were no observed relationships between experiential co-creation and satisfaction, or between experiential co-creation and trust. Additionally, the study revealed that risk perception does not impact satisfaction and that trust does not influence risk perception. These results align with the adventurous nature of paragliding.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Management implications&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;Paragliding is a thrilling sport that offers participants a unique and adrenaline-filled experience. The study results provide insights for tourism operators, particularly those involved in adventure and experiential tourism.

Specifically, there is a lack of evidence regarding which experiential attributes paddlers' find important and how these transboundary zones perform on those attributes. This is problematic because the entities managing transboundary water trail zones do not know if there are common attributes that are important to all water trail users and if they are providing satisfactory water-based recreational experiences based on these expectations. With this gap in mind, this research integrates the domain of Transboundary Natural Resource Management for National Water Trail Systems with the analytical method of Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) to explicitly compare paddlers’ perceptions (n = 360) of 12 water trail attributes between two different management zones (city park vs. federal National Park Service) of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area Water Trail in Atlanta, GA (USA). Results revealed that paddlers within both management zones place high importance on the biophysical attribute of water quality yet are equally dissatisfied with the performance of water quality, a reported decades long issue for the Chattahoochee River. Additionally, paddlers within the National Park Service zone expressed greater dissatisfaction with the lack opportunities available for quiet spaces and paddling in undeveloped areas. Results also indicated that water trail visitors had various levels of expectations and perceptions of river setting attributes that differed by management zones. A focused understanding of how physical, social, and managerial attributes of National Water Trails are perceived by recreational users (e.g., paddlers) aids transboundary natural resource efforts in collaborative decision making to better balance river conservation and recreation management for the future sustainability of National Water Trails.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Management implications&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;p&gt;•The increasing popularity of river-based recreation and National Water Trail Systems spanning multiple jurisdictional zones justifies the need to proactively discuss transboundary visitor use management and collaboration across resource management entities (e.g., federal, municipal, private, state, etc.).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;p&gt;•Importance-Performance Analyses (IPA) are a cost-effective and relatively intuitive method for managers across multiple jurisdictions to collaboratively manage the satisfactory performance of recreational setting attributes, while also allowing visitors to express their opinions and perspectives on current and future managerial elements.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;p&gt;•Managers can gain a stronger understanding of the process to evaluate river setting indicators through analytical methods (e.g., IPA) that may save ","PeriodicalId":46931,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Outdoor Recreation and Tourism-Research Planning and Management","volume":"47 ","pages":"Article 100800"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141984635","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most of the studies deal with visitor segmentation and that different group of visitors have different impacts on the environment. This study presents site-specific visitor data at entrance level (n = 28) to examine visitor's characteristics, volume, and potential environmental impact in a large mountain area (&gt;8000 km²) that hosts the last populations of wild reindeer in Europe. To understand visitor behaviour and their impact on the reindeer we applied push-pull strategies for the visitors to the different entrances. Our results revealed that the entrances differed considerably regarding visitor characteristics and volume, and while some entrances are typical tourism places (pull strategies), others were dominated by locals and wilderness seekers (push strategies). Based on visitors' hike length and on-off trail behaviour, our results showed that the tourist entrances had a lower impact on the wild reindeer range than entrances predominantly used by locals or wilderness seekers. Tourist entrances were predominantly used by foreign and first-time visitors on day trips, who used designated facilities, and left a relatively small spatial footprint in the fringe of the study area. By contrast, local people and wilderness seekers often made multiple day trips and commonly used off-trail areas. Additionally, our study identified a very special case of mass tourism, to a spectacular cliff, that had emerged in the last decade due to the posting of photos on social media. In describing the diversity of entrances to a vulnerable area, we argue that there is a need for management strategies that treat each entrance as unique, and as requiring site-specific solutions that provide positive experiences for visitors while minimizing the impact on the natural environment.</p></div><div><h3>Management implications</h3><p></p><ul><li><span><p>•National park management is currently challenged by uncontrollable communications on social media</p></span></li><li><span><p>•Numbers of visitors to iconic attractions can increase rapidly, and management actions often come long after such increases</p></span></li><li><span><p>•A cycle of facilitation and increased visitor numbers at attractions often has major negative effects on visitor experiences</p></span></li><li><span><p>•Management needs to treat each point of entrance as unique, with site-specific solutions</p></span></li><li><span><p>•On-trail behaviour is susceptible to management through indirect measures</p></span></li><li><span><p>•Off-trail behaviour challenges the use of indirect measures and direct measures are controversial due to common access rights</p></span></li></ul></div>","PeriodicalId":46931,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Outdoor Recreation and Tourism-Research Planning and Management","volume":"47 ","pages":"Article 100807"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141978291","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, in the development of national park tourism, it is necessary to adhere to the development concept of spatial justice to ensure the fairness of tourism development. Based on the theory of fairness preference, this paper divides tourism spatial justice into intentional justice, procedural justice, participatory justice, distributive justice, and resultant justice, and discusses the influence relationship between them. Through the questionnaire survey, 241 effective samples are obtained, the structural equation model of tourism spatial justice is constructed, and the path analysis and intermediary effect test are carried out. Research findings: (1) In the tourism spatial justice perception model, procedural justice, participatory justice, and distributive justice all have a significant positive impact on resultant justice, and the path coefficient of distributive justice is the largest. (2) On the path from intentional justice to resultant justice, procedural justice, and participation justice play an intermediary role respectively; Procedural justice and participatory justice, procedural justice and distributive justice play a chain intermediary role respectively. This study divided the dimensions of tourism spatial justice, incorporating participatory justice and distributive justice into traditional equity preference theory, and proved the perception model of tourism spatial justice from the perspective of community residents. At the same time, the interrelationships within the model were verified and explored, exploring the differences between the implementation of tourism spatial justice in national parks and general tourism destinations, to enrich relevant research in the field of tourism spatial justice in national parks and provide reference for the tourism development of national parks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Management implications&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;The development of tourism destinations is pursuing the goal of realizing spatial justice in tourism.

National park tourism development aims to improve the perception of fairness among local residents and optimize the distribution plan of tourism benefits. The perception of other forms of justice is influenced by the issue of procedural justice among residents.
