“…All text was analysed jointly using constant-comparison grounded-theory paradigms ( Glaser & Strauss, 2017 ; Stern & Porr, 2017 ). Concepts were extracted, coded, and classified iteratively, to build a coding tree ( Buckley, 2018b ; Glaser & Strauss, 2017 ; Stern & Porr, 2017 ). Coding was checked by two independent analysts.…”

Mental and social health outcomes from a portfolio of women's outdoor tourism products, with ~100,000 clients, are analysed using a catalysed netnography of >1000 social media posts. Entirely novel outcomes include: psychological rescue; recognition of a previously missing life component, and flow-on effects to family members. Outcomes reported previously for extreme sports, but not previously for hiking in nature, include psychological transformation. Outcomes also identified previously include: happiness, gratitude, relaxation, clarity and insights, nature appreciation, challenge and capability, and companionship and community effects. Commercial outdoor tourism enterprises can contribute powerfully to the wellbeing of women and families. This will be especially valuable for mental health recovery, following deterioration during COVID-19 coronavirus lockdowns worldwide.

“…A slight variant of standard semi-structured interview techniques was used, designed to seek a smaller set of information from a larger number of time-poor individuals, each available for interview only briefly. Responses were analysed using mixed qualitative-quantitative approaches, with recoding to categorical variables (Buckley, 2018).…”

“…Second, small-scale experimental studies have shown that individuals experiencing various forms of short-term and low-key exposures to components of nature, demonstrate improved mental health and happiness, relative to control individuals (Bratman et al, 2019;Buckley et al, 2018Buckley et al, , 2019Frühauf et al, 2016;Frumkin et al, 2017;Larson, Jennings, & Cloutier, 2016;Shanahan et al, 2016;Terraube, Fernández-Llamazares, & Cabeza, 2017;Twohig-Bennett & Jones, 2018;Wang et al, 2017).

Park tourism is correlated with better mental health, with high economic value, but some aspects of causal mechanisms have remained unresolved. I interviewed 238 outdoor nature and adventure tourists of all ages and backgrounds, at subtropical national parks in Queensland, Australia. I asked whether they visit parks because they are happy, or they are happy because they visit parks. A large majority, 82%, picked the latter. Of those asked, 87.5% reported short-term emotional benefits; 60%, medium-term recovery from stress; and 20%, long-term changes in worldview. Research priorities include: economic scale; experiential components and commercial design for different market segments; and tests of mental health benefits for tourism more generally.

Purpose: This study sought to understand the barriers hindering the growth of small businesses in Nigeria, and to investigate the various strategies small business owners and managers develop to overcome these barriers. Design/methodology/approach: A qualitative research design using in-depth, semi-structured, face-face interviews was utilized to obtain the barriers to growth as well as strategies developed to overcome them by 15 sachet water company managers in Minna, the capital city of Niger State in North Central Nigeria. Findings: The major internal barriers to growth identified included unmotivated employees, lack of modern machinery, lack of storage capacity and poor marketing and distribution strategies, while the major external barriers included weather conditions, poor electricity, bad roads and competition. Strategies to overcome these barriers included creating a family atmosphere, hiring more workers, using alternative power and forming a union to control prices. Research limitations/implications: This study was limited to 15 sachet water companies in Minna, Niger State, so it is difficult to generalize the findings to other states and to other industries. Practical implications: The results of this study will be beneficial to several stakeholders: sachet water companies in Minna and beyond, other SMEs as well as policy makers. For sachet water companies in Minna and beyond, by understanding the various strategies which the interviewed managers use to overcome their internal and external challenges, a diffusion of learning will occur, whereby other sachet water company managers can inculcate some of these effective strategies into their own operations. As for other SMEs, some of the identified barriers will also be the same ones they face. The strategies the interviewed managers use to overcome these challenges can also provide guidance for these SMEs. Finally, by clearly identifying the barriers hindering the growth of these sachet water companies, this study provides policy makers with clear guidance on what policies need to be instituted to help these SMEs overcome their challenges and contribute their quota to the growth of the Nigerian economy. Originality/value: By utilizing semi-structured interviews in surveying the 15 sachet water managers in Minna, Niger State, this study overcomes the weakness of the vast majority of prior studies which utilized questionnaires. The major disadvantage of adopting questionnaire to measure attitudes and perception is that, respondents will be denied the opportunity to air out their views about the subject matter.
