‘Great Walks’ are highly managed multi-day experiences established within New Zealand's national parks. We examine their history and promotion asking ‘How have the contexts for recreational walking in the New Zealand wilderness changed?’ and ‘How are these changes regarded by trampers as practitioners of backcountry walking?’ To address these questions, we draw on 703 responses to an online survey. We note a mixed regard for Great Walks among trampers. Some consider the wilderness experience as undermined by the popularity of these branded experiences while others note that they cater for a range of users, despite high costs reducing effective accessibility.

过渡时期新西兰徒步旅行的流浪者观点

“Great Walks”是在新西兰国家公园内建立的高度管理的多日体验。我们研究了他们的历史和宣传，询问“新西兰荒野休闲步行的环境发生了怎样的变化？” 以及“作为野外徒步实践者的流浪者如何看待这些变化？” 为了解决这些问题，我们利用了对在线调查的 703 份回复。我们注意到流浪者对 Great Walks 的看法不一。有些人认为这些品牌体验的流行削弱了野外体验，而另一些人则指出，尽管成本高昂，但降低了有效可访问性，但它们迎合了一系列用户。
