“…Displacement is often discussed in relation to crowding but may also arise due to managerial or resource changes like fees or erosion, respectively (Schneider, 2007). A visitor's willingness to displace may be influenced by factors such as preferences, skill level, past experience, monetary investment, and frequency of participation (Wu, Wang, Liu, & Wang, 2009). Displacement can have important impacts on the quality of the visitor experience and visitor use and patterns (Hall & Shelby, 2000).…”

“…The study's authors found that short-term intrasite displacement contributes to shifts in usage and undesirable relocation to prohibited ecologically sensitive areas (Fleishman et al, 2007). Activity displacement has been defined as visitors changing their primary activity, shifting from one activity to another, or ceasing an activity and taking up an alternative, often in response to problems (Arnberger & Haider, 2007;Greenaway et al, 2007;Robertson & Regula, 1994;Wu et al, 2009). The literature on displacement and substitution sometimes equates activity displacement with activity substitution, or fails to recognize one or both concepts (Brunson & Shelby, 1993;Greenaway et al, 2007;Fleishman et al, 2007;Miller & McCool, 2003).…”

Waterfalls have long been popular tourist attractions due to their soundscape, beauty, natural pool, and recreational opportunities. With technological advances and abundant tourism information, more visitors are being drawn to waterfalls. Such high visitation and use amplifies the risk of degrading pristine waterfall sites and their resources. Not only are waterfalls experiencing high demand, but state parks are also seeing large increases in visitation. State parks are typically located closer to population centers and complement the more well-known and iconic national parks by providing recreational opportunities to more, diverse visitors. The present study aims to provide a basis for understanding the visitor experience and carrying capacity at a waterfall-based state park where visitors engage in an activity with the water (e.g., swim in the natural pool, climb the waterfall). Further, the study investigates intrasite displacement from an activity with the water in tandem with the examination of carrying capacity. Visitor surveys and time-lapse field cameras were deployed to collect data on visitor use at a popular waterfall-based state park in Tennessee. The results indicate that use levels are near or above crowding-based thresholds, supporting the implementation of a carrying capacity. While the results do not provide evidence for intrasite or activity displacement, they seem to reflect a reduction in the visitors' freedom of choice in activity or location. The present study fills a gap in the literature by empirically investigating the carrying capacity of visitors at a waterfall site and utilizing an indicators and thresholds-based approach in a state park. Empirical research on these is needed since citizens highly value waterfalls and primarily gain exposure to nature through state park visits.

Planned events have become an important feature in most destinations. Specifically, sustainable events have gained prominence in the recent past. Event organizers, participants, and event sponsors have become increasingly aware of the need to conduct sustainable events whereby the community, the environment, and economic benefits are all significantly considered when planning and hosting events. In 2013, Getz regarded planned events to primarily consist of five major fields: tourism, arts and culture, hospitality, sports, and leisure and recreation. It is under this premise that a content analysis was undertaken to examine published peer-reviewed articles related to planned events. Additionally, publications focusing on sustainable events articles were considered in the study. A total of five top-tier journals, one from each field, were selected and relevant publications from the year 2005 to 2015 were identified. The study found sports to have the largest proportion of event-related publications. Also, the distribution of sustainable event-related publications was relatively consistent with a mean of 1.6 publications every year. However, with only 16.5% of the total event-related publications centered on sustainability, there was an indication of limited research on the concept of sustainability in planned events. Therefore, there remains a need to undertake more research to better understand the long-term contributions of events to a destination.
