“…Such paradigm would have some important implications for tourists, tourism operators and also tourism scholars. With regard to tourism scholarship, Bertella and Acquarone (2017) propose that wildlife tourism researchers reflect on and make explicit their view in terms of animal ethics and, when their fieldwork and chosen data collection method require close contact with the animals, also in terms of procedural and relational ethics. Such ethics, discussed, for example, by Ellis (2007) in the context of qualitative research methods, can be applied to wild animals and suggest following codes of conduct that, taking into account possible influencing contextual factors, aim to protect the animals and establish human–animal relationships characterised by mutuality and respect.…”

Purpose This study raises and discusses questions concerning the assumptions of sustainability to uncover aspects that might lead to new critical ways of understanding it. More specifically, the aim of this study is to discuss the adoption of the sustainability approach in wildlife tourism and challenge its underlying anthropocentric assumptions. Design/methodology/approach The approach adopted is one of animal ethics, more precisely Ecofeminism. Findings The discussion ends by highlighting the possibility for new thinking. In particular, the concept of entangled empathy is presented as a potentially central element for re-thinking wildlife tourism. Research limitations/implications This study raises critical questions and starts the conceptualization of a non-anthropocentric approach in wildlife tourism. This can be viewed as a mental exercise that should be developed further and translated into practical suggestions. Originality/value This study views innovation as a process of re-thinking sustainability through the adoption of the animal ethics lens.

“…The present study intends to test a model of “pro-environmental behavior” (ecotourism intention) for extrovert and introvert visitors at an ecotourism site that involves human interaction with the environment (Thompson et al, 2018 ; Cabral and Dhar, 2019 ). The study contributes significantly to research on environmental safety (Bertella and Acquarone, 2018 ).…”

The study offers new insights by examining the influence of personality traits (extraversion and neuroticism) on tourists' intentions to visit ecotourism sites using the lens of the theory of planned behavior. It also investigates whether environmental knowledge moderates the effect of extraversion, neuroticism, and environmental concern on tourists' ecotourism intentions. We applied structural equation modeling on 350 responses collected through the Amazon M-Turk platform. Results highlight that extroverts are more likely to express ecotourism intentions than neurotic tourists. However, it was also noted that neurotic tourists' intention to visit ecotourism sites could be influenced if their environmental concerns were emphasized. The study offers important new insights to managers, policy-makers, and practitioners about the roles of personality traits, environmental knowledge, and environmental concern vis-a-vis their relative significance in shaping tourists' decision-making and choices for ecotourism sites. As a result, managers/practitioners need to devise specific communication strategies to enhance awareness and a sense of responsibility among neurotic tourists.

Ecological tourism is one of the current trends in development of Arctic. There are several reasons for this: popularity of ecological tourism among modern travelers in general and competitiveness of Arctic travel in a unique and diverse nature; profitability of ecological entrepreneurship; environmental, socio-economic and educational importance of ecological tourism for sustainable development of Arctic. Accordingly, the legal regulation of ecological tourism in Arctic should serve the purpose of ensuring preservation of human capital, protection and reproduction of natural complex of Arctic, efficient use of material, financial and human resources based on modern achievements in the field of ecology and tourism technologies. Entrepreneurial activity in the field of ecological tourism in Arctic is carried out simultaneously in the context of international cooperation and interaction of professional entrepreneurs with local population of Arctic. It is important to consider possible impact of nature protection tourism on lifestyle of people living in Arctic. Indigenous people should have the right to preserve traditional way of life and, at the same time, opportunity to develop modern forms of self-organization, self-regulation. Legal guarantees for development of ecological tourism in Arctic are state support measures federal legislation, state programs, state budget.
