ABSTRACT

Rainforests provide exceptional spaces for nature-based tourism activities attracting large numbers of visitors. Simultaneously, tourism activities may create environmental, social and economic impacts that require management in order to conserve sensitive rainforest environments. Rainforest tourism constitutes a travel sector that receives growing interest worldwide. This study presents a timely review of current knowledge and research gaps in a new conceptual model to give recommendations for a future research agenda. Through a systematic quantitative review, the study identified 48 peer-reviewed journal articles addressing conservation and management topics (33), followed by visitor-related research (23), impacts (10), and finally community and stakeholder research (3) of rainforest tourism, published between 1975 and 2019. The majority of research focused on management issues relating to policy development, planning, education and conservation measures. A strong geographic bias was noted with very limited research available for rainforest regions in Africa and Asia. Future research should be concerned with expanding and linking rainforest research across countries, and filling knowledge gaps around visitor monitoring, specific impacts and causes, and the complexity of community and stakeholder involvement in managing impacts. Protocols may need to be established to facilitate the design and delivery of standardised research approaches across the globe.

雨林旅游:对既定知识和研究差距的系统回顾

摘要

热带雨林为吸引大量游客的以自然为基础的旅游活动提供了绝佳的空间。同时,旅游活动可能会产生环境、社会和经济影响,需要进行管理以保护敏感的雨林环境。热带雨林旅游是一个在世界范围内受到越来越多关注的旅游部门。本研究及时回顾了新概念模型中的当前知识和研究差距,为未来的研究议程提供了建议。通过系统的定量审查,该研究确定了 48 篇同行评审的期刊文章,涉及雨林的保护和管理主题 (33),其次是与游客相关的研究 (23)、影响 (10),最后是社区和利益相关者研究 (3)旅游,于 1975 年至 2019 年间出版。大多数研究集中在与政策制定、规划、教育和保护措施有关的管理问题上。由于对非洲和亚洲热带雨林地区的研究非常有限,因此注意到了强烈的地域偏见。未来的研究应该关注扩大和连接各国的雨林研究,并填补围绕游客监测、具体影响和原因以及社区和利益相关者参与影响管理的复杂性的知识空白。可能需要建立协议以促进全球标准化研究方法的设计和交付。由于对非洲和亚洲热带雨林地区的研究非常有限,因此注意到了强烈的地域偏见。未来的研究应该关注扩大和连接各国的雨林研究,并填补围绕游客监测、具体影响和原因以及社区和利益相关者参与影响管理的复杂性的知识空白。可能需要建立协议以促进全球标准化研究方法的设计和交付。由于对非洲和亚洲热带雨林地区的研究非常有限,因此注意到了强烈的地域偏见。未来的研究应该关注扩大和连接各国的雨林研究,并填补围绕游客监测、具体影响和原因以及社区和利益相关者参与影响管理的复杂性的知识空白。可能需要建立协议以促进全球标准化研究方法的设计和交付。
