“…In the first place, it can be seen that there are few women in the world of hunting as they account for a very small percentage of the sample studied (4.1% of trippers, 7.8% of tourists), even though it is true that they are more numerous in the category of hunting tourists. This situation is clear from other studies, which have analysed the profile of the hunter [35,36,49] as these confirm the token presence of women in hunting. On the other hand, the age group variable reflects the presence of mature hunters in both traveller profiles with few aged under 26 years old.…”

“…Despite this, it should be stressed that all travel irrespective of its level has a common characteristic, i.e., the preferential choice of destinations near the place of residence. The main hunting destinations chosen by the hunters of the study sample are, therefore, the regions bordering on Extremadura and countries near Spain, barring exceptions [36]. However, it must be pointed out that hunters can make large journeys carried by the presence of hunting species in specific geographical areas.…”

Hunters make a large number of trips during the hunting season all over the world due to the irregular distribution of hunting species. The proliferation of this kind of travel gives rise to the origin of a new kind of specific tourism, i.e., hunting tourism. Currently, the economic magnitude of this kind of travel has led to carrying out numerous studies on the subject. It has, however, been observed that most of them concentrate on the economic and environmental aspects of this activity and neglect a parameter as important as demand. Becoming familiar with the characteristics of the hunting traveller allows more appropriate management of this kind of tourism. It is for this reason that this study approaches the various profiles of hunting travellers residing in Extremadura and determines the most important characteristics of their movements. The main source of information for this research is the results obtained from distributing a questionnaire during a period of one year. These data have been processed by univariate and bivariate statistical techniques, which allow us to obtain groundbreaking results. These include, in particular, the considerable mobility of the hunter resident in Extremadura, who makes a large number of trips in order to hunt during the season, and the relationship between the number of days hunters travel, according to their income.

Sustainable Hunting as a Tourism Product in Dehesa Areas in Extremadura (Spain)

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The dehesa is one of the main agricultural landscapes in the Extremadura region. It is currently undergoing a production crisis caused by changes in the market, including the abandonment of uses linked to its exploitation. This situation could lead to the disappearance of this unique landscape due to its anthropogenic nature. It is therefore necessary to develop alternative activities to improve its productive profitability, which could include sustainable hunting. The hunting literature recognizes the role it plays in environmental, economic, and social sustainability, with hunting tourism being one of the productive activities that generates the most wealth within the sector, where big game hunting is of great importance. In this scenario, the regions of Villuercas-Ibores-Jara and La Siberia have an ideal landscape for the development of this modality due to their physical characteristics. For this reason, this study carried out an analysis of the situation of hunting tourism in these areas through the dissemination of a questionnaire among the managers of rural accommodation in the study area. The responses recorded were processed using statistical techniques that allowed us to extract interesting results such as the importance of hunting as a tourist resource, with a large number of big game species living in these areas, the high presence of hunters in these lodgings during the hunting season, the role that hunting plays in environmental, economic, and social sustainability, and the need to create a specific tourist product that meets the needs of the demand of hunters.

La caza es un recurso de los espacios rurales que es objeto de aprovechamiento tradicional. En el contexto actual, se concibe como actividad económica que contribuye a la creación de empleo en municipios inmersos en una profunda regresión demográfica, siempre y cuando se practique de forma sostenible. El objetivo de este trabajo se centra en analizar la distribución geográfica de los cotos de caza mayor de Extremadura y la dinámica demográfica en la que están inmersos los municipios afectados. Para el análisis se ha recurrido a comparar las estadísticas oficiales de ambas variables. Los resultados obtenidos permiten acreditar la amplia distribución territorial de los cotos de caza mayor, en clara expansión durante los últimos años, por las diferentes unidades fisiográficas, y la tendencia demográfica regresiva que sufren los municipios donde se ubican. Como resultado de ello, proponemos una discusión en la que se incluyen medidas que puedan contribuir a generar una mayor repercusión económica en el medio rural.
