“…As a result, numerous threatened species rely on tourism for their continued survival [30]. This creates risks when tourism revenues decline, as occurred dur-ing the COVID-19 pandemic [31]. Most recently, the economic scale of nature-based tourism has been revisited [32], together with the economic scale of mental health exports, and the various different types of valuation ascribed by parks and nature tourists [33].…”

We review research on tourism and the environment using a temporal framework, distinct from previous reviews. We identify six main phases, all still active, but with different histories. Initially, tourism was treated as a low-impact component of transport and urban accommodation, and the focus was on recreation, ecology and visitor management in parks. Interest then turned to environmental management and corporate social responsibility: wastes, resources, and ecolabels. The third phase analysed positive economic contributions to conservation by a small number of tourism enterprises, principally through private reserves and park funding. The fourth focussed on climate change and carbon offsets, and the fifth on mental health and human capital. The sixth and newest phase is political. Tourism developers, industry associations, and lobbyists have stepped up their longstanding efforts to gain control of parks and protected areas, in order to profit from preferential access to public resources. These efforts now include international instruments as well as policies, practices, and legislation in individual countries. Tourism has become a catspaw for a new form of land grab by private wealth portfolios for high-value nature property. We draw attention to tourism development land grabs in public protected areas as a key priority for urgent research.

“…It is a form of tourism that supports the conservation of natural places while promoting social welfare and economic diversification in economically marginalised communities, such as poor, indigenous, and rural regions [1]. Since the mid-1990s, ecotourism has increased in the tourism industry [2]. In 2008, ecotourism was regarded as one of the fastest-growing tourism sectors, providing 5% of the global annual growth rate, 6% of the global GDP, and 11.4% of overall consumer expenditure [3].…”

This paper presents the mediating model, which covers the relationship between organisational identification and employees’ behavioural outcomes in ecotourism businesses. Drawing on social identity theory, this study theorises that perceived organisational support and perceived external prestige mediate the relationship between organisational identification, service quality, and creative performance in ecotourism businesses. This study employed a survey-based methodology and a 32-item questionnaire with a sample of 270 business employees. Structural equation modelling and confirmatory factor analysis were used to test the proposed hypothesis. According to the findings, perceived organisational support and perceived external prestige mediate the relationship between organisational identification and employee outcomes. Furthermore, organisational identification positively impacts perceived organisational support, perceived organisational support positively impacts perceived external prestige, and perceived external prestige positively impacts creative performance and service quality, allowing employees to better identify with ecotourism businesses to improve performance. Identifying the importance of organisational identification and employee outcomes is critical for ecotourism businesses, from employee loyalty to the importance and relevance of perceived organisational support and perceived external prestige of employees to promote and better serve the ecotourism business.
