The "Good Tourism" Blog

For diverse perspectives on sustainable tourism & responsible travel ... because travel & tourism is everyone's business., cabi tourism cases: animals and tourism.

CABI Tour­ism Cases , a “Good Tour­ism” Part­ner, pub­lishes peer-reviewed case stud­ies on travel & tourism’s inter­ac­tions with the world from just about every angle … includ­ing (non-human) anim­als and tourism. 

This is the first in a new series of posts in which CABI shares brief sum­mar­ies of its most recent tour­ism-related case stud­ies and books along vari­ous themes. 

[The first case study lis­ted is free to access in full for a lim­ited time.]

CABI Tourism Cases on animals and tourism from 2023

‘the bioluminescent insects of grandfather mountain stewardship foundation’.

Writ­ten by man­agers from Grand­fath­er Moun­tain Stew­ard­ship Found­a­tion, a not-for-profit nat­ur­al park loc­ated in Lin­ville, North Car­o­lina, and a research­er spe­cial­ising in ento­mo­tour­ism, a spe­cial­ised form of wild­life tour­ism, this case study out­lines how a wild­life view­ing strategy for bio­lu­min­es­cent insects (e.g. fire­flies, glow-worms) was developed and imple­men­ted in the sum­mer of 2022.

‘Land-Use Conflicts and an Alternative Wildlife Management Option for the Loliondo Game-controlled Area, Tanzania: Insights from a Community Survey’

This tour­ism case study pays atten­tion to nat­ur­al resource man­age­ment con­flicts sur­round­ing the Loliondo Game-con­trolled Area which encom­passes 4,000 sq km adja­cent to Ser­en­geti Nation­al Park and Ngoron­goro Con­ser­va­tion Area in Tanzania. 

Maa­sai, the largest nomad­ic pas­tor­al­ist eth­nic group in Tan­zania, accounts for the over­whelm­ing major­ity of the pop­u­la­tion resid­ing in the Loliondo Game-con­trolled Area. The Loliondo Game-con­trolled Area has suffered from land-use and prop­erty-right con­flicts among stake­hold­ers des­pite estab­lish­ing a series of wild­life man­age­ment policies con­cern­ing the area.

Trophy-hunt­ing tour­ism has been oper­ated in the Loliondo Game-con­trolled Area by a transna­tion­al private cor­por­a­tion with the Tan­zani­an government’s exclus­ive per­mis­sion. Trophy hunt­ing con­flicts with oth­er land uses in the Loliondo Game-con­trolled Area, includ­ing non-con­sumptive tour­ism, pas­tor­al live­li­hoods, and crop farming. 

‘Bird Watching Tourism in Sustainable and Accessible Destinations: The Case of the Entrepreneurial Venture Explora Caloccita in the Mexican Pacific Coast’

Bird watch­ing is an activ­ity that may prompt sus­tain­able tour­ism devel­op­ment in remote com­munit­ies. This case study lays out some les­sons learned from Explora Caloc­cita, a young ven­ture offer­ing bird watch­ing to tour­ists on Mexico’s Pacific coast. 

This case is based on descript­ive research, lay­ing out the prac­ti­tion­ers’ insights and ana­lys­ing the sup­ply of exper­i­ences related to bird watch­ing. The innov­at­ive vis­ion of the entre­pren­eurs, the fin­an­cial and logist­ic­al back­ing by the loc­al hotel La Quinta, and the sup­port of res­id­ents and loc­al tour oper­at­ors allow for the con­clu­sion that bird-watch­ing tour­ism has been, in this par­tic­u­lar case, a sus­tain­able eco­nom­ic alternative. 

‘Animal Rescue Tourism: Supporting the Welfare and Rights of Domesticated Street Animals in the Age of Social Media’ 

This case focuses on domest­ic­ated anim­als in tour­ism and explores how anim­al res­cue organ­isa­tions can engage volun­tour­ism to pro­mote anim­al wel­fare and rights in the digit­al age. A key issue addressed is how social media can be both harm­ful and bene­fi­cial for anim­als in tourism. 

The case shows how an anim­al res­cue organ­isa­tion in India has lever­aged social media to height­en aware­ness and engage­ment in anim­al wel­fare and rights through tour­ism. Rather than par­take in harm­ful wild­life selfies or unwit­tingly sup­port cruel industry prac­tices, volun­tour­ists act­ively help to res­cue and rehab­il­it­ate injured and ill street anim­als and fur­ther pro­mote the cause by shar­ing their exper­i­ences online.

CABI Tourism Cases on animals and tourism from 2022

‘creating community conservation areas and sustainable livelihood options at nkwichi lodge, lake malawi, mozambique’.

Nkwi­chi is a 14-bed lodge loc­ated on the shores of Lake Malawi. The lodge has col­lab­or­ated with 16 com­munit­ies to estab­lish the 120,000 hec­tare Manda Wil­der­ness Com­munity Con­ser­va­tion Area of Mozam­bi­que. The lodge sup­ports 40 per­man­ent loc­al employ­ees, and rep­res­ents the only form­al employ­ment avail­able in the area. Nkwi­chi has facil­it­ated a halt to hunt­ing in the reserve, sus­tain­able agri­cul­ture ini­ti­at­ives, and the applic­a­tion of sol­ar power for electricity.

‘“The red panda is a raccoon”: Consuming fantasy and imagination in wildlife tourism’

Based on a case study of inter­ac­tions between red pan­das and tour­ists at Cheng­du Research Base of Giant Panda Breed­ing, this case ana­lyzes the con­sump­tion of fantasy and ima­gin­a­tion in wild­life tourism. 

The red panda, a rare and attract­ive anim­al nat­ive to south­west­ern China, is rel­at­ively unfa­mil­i­ar to Chinese tour­ists, who fre­quently mis­take it for a rac­coon, a North Amer­ic­an nat­ive. This fanci­ful and ima­gin­at­ive con­sump­tion of the red panda is assessed through its rel­ev­ance to the con­struc­tion of tour­ist iden­tit­ies and soci­et­al relations. 

‘Combatting Climate Change, Supporting Biodiversity Conservation and Benefitting Local People at Mombo, Okavango Delta, Botswana’

Mombo Camp is loc­ated on Chief’s Island in the Moremi Game Reserve with­in the Okavango Delta of Bot­swana. This case study explains how the camp has dra­mat­ic­ally reduced its car­bon emis­sions by con­vert­ing its power from dies­el gen­er­at­ors to 100% sol­ar energy, and made sub­stan­tial con­tri­bu­tions to black and white rhino re-intro­duc­tions in the coun­try. Through its lease fees, employ­ment, and pro­cure­ment, the lodge has also made sub­stan­tial con­tri­bu­tions to the loc­al and nation­al eco­nomy dur­ing the course of its con­ces­sion period.

Recent CABI books on animals and tourism

‘the elephant tourism business’.

Ele­phant tour­ism is a grow­ing activ­ity in many coun­tries across Asia and Africa and is pop­u­lar with tour­ists from all parts of the world. Ele­phant tour­ism has grown rap­idly, provid­ing the only viable way for ele­phants and their own­ers to sur­vive since the ban­ning of log­ging. Old log­ging camps have been developed into sanc­tu­ar­ies for some ele­phants, but many oth­er camps were estab­lished as enter­tain­ment centres, res­ult­ing in ser­i­ous wel­fare issues for the ele­phants and their mahouts. The profits from ele­phant tour­ism in Asia have encour­aged Afric­an oper­at­ors to fol­low a sim­il­ar busi­ness model.

Edited by Eric Laws, Noel Scott, Xavi­er Font, and John Koldowski, this book draws atten­tion to the need for a com­pre­hens­ive and rig­or­ous focus on loc­al solu­tions to improve the wel­fare of cap­tive ele­phants, their mahouts and loc­al res­id­ents, and to enhance tour­ists’ exper­i­ences of ele­phant tourism.

‘Tourism, Heritage and Commodification of Non-human Animals: A Posthumanist Reflection’

Her­it­age is a social con­struc­tion rooted in mod­ern and con­tem­por­ary soci­et­ies. It is com­monly a pos­it­ive assess­ment of many ele­ments of the phys­ic­al and human envir­on­ment (e.g. eco­sys­tems and land­scapes, monu­ments, cus­toms, gender norms, reli­gious prac­tices, gast­ro­nomy, and live­li­hoods). Her­it­age and tour­ism are strongly related to each oth­er in that her­it­age gives rise to tour­ist attrac­tions and activ­it­ies, and tour­ism enhances the des­ig­na­tion of her­it­age sites.

Edited by Álvaro López-López, Gino Jafet Quin­tero Vene­g­as, and Car­ol Kline, this book con­tains chapters that reveal both the uneth­ic­al inter­ac­tions between humans and anim­als with­in her­it­age tour­ism, and those that show exper­i­ences in which efforts are made to min­im­ise damage.

The presence of a tourism village in Indonesia might be viewed as an opportunity to strengthen small, micro, and medium-sized businesses as a driving force in the local economy. The goal of Micro Small Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) development is to create a tourism village supported by MSMEs that combines natural and culture attractions, local gastronomic and artisan, and public service facilities. Poncokusumo village, one of Malang's tourism villages, has a distinct personality when compared to other Malang tourism villages. The goal of this research is to look at promotional strategies for sustainable tourism products in Poncokusumo village to strengthen the village's tourism identity. This is a qualitative study in which the informants were chosen on purpose; they are the head of Poncokusumo village, the leader of the tourist local community (Pokdarwis), and an entrepreneur. According to the research findings, the 360-degree communication approach is best for supporting offline promotional operations. 360-degree marketing communication is also being considered to strengthen tourism village identity. A 360-degree model of marketing communication is built in three stages: pre-purchase, purchase, and post-purchase in a sustainable tourist product. This paper also contributed to the sustainable development goals which focus on decent work and economic growth. The existence of sustainable product in tourism village is an attraction that encourage local economic growth.
