Methodologies to account for animal agency in tourism are still in their infancy. This paper extends developments that seek to enrich methodologies for studying the role of animals in tourism by arguing that methods relying solely on talk- and text-based accounts struggle to appreciate the moving encounters between human and non-human animals. Hence, the paper embraces the opportunities afforded through moving image methodologies by exploring mobile video ethnography as a way to account for and understand how tourism emerges through encounters between living agents. Whilst recognising the need for caution, the paper demonstrates how mobile multispecies video ethnography contributes to gaining access to the intimate spaces of human-animal encounters in tourism.

在旅游业中解释动物代理的方法仍处于起步阶段。本文认为，仅依靠基于谈话和文字的方法难以理解人类与非人类动物之间不断变化的接触，便扩展了旨在丰富研究动物在旅游业中作用的方法的发展。因此，本文通过探索移动视频人种志作为一种手段来解释和理解旅游业如何通过活生生的相遇而出现，从而抓住了通过移动图像方法学提供的机会。在认识到需要谨慎的同时，本文还演示了移动多物种视频人种志技术如何有助于进入旅游业中人类与动物相遇的私密空间。
