“…Protected area establishment and operation has frequently resulted in a clash between local communities and scientific experts (Hovik et al, 2010;Keskitalo & Lundmark, 2010;Laudati, 2010;Reser & Bentrupperbäumer, 2005). In this conflict, experts appear as the group that can guarantee scientific rationality, while local people point to their right to use natural resources (Clapp, 2004).…”

“…According to some scholars (Honey, 2008;Laudati, 2010), ecotourism policies are designed to influence tourist preferences for the purpose of revenue generation which is the principle consideration. Other policy and practice issues that are contrary to the stated characters of ecotourism include the exploitative resource use for higher financial gains, the lack of respect to the carrying capacity of the destination, using jeeps and vehicles with high CO2 emissions, wildlife and habitat disturbance and environmental degrading, negative impact on wildlife behavior, human migration to the area, decrease in growth of flora and fauna, unsustainable resource use, the local dispossession of private land, loss of control over the land use by local people (Banerjee, 2010).…”

Mainstream approaches ecotourism focus on the main idea that the tourism activities employ the kinds of sustainability that are economically viable, ecologically maintainable and socially equitable. Hence, ecotourism is considered a special type of sustainable tourism that aims at responsible use of natural, cultural and historical resources, and it simultaneously contributes to the local and national development and the protection of natural areas. This paper presents critical assessment of the mainstream explanations about the nature of ecotourism. To do so, the critical views in the related literature are collected, reviewed and presented. Their criticisms include the central assumptions and explanations provided by the mainstream scholars about ecotourism, such as definition, goals and outcomes of ecotourism, business practices, environmental sustainability, ethics and tourism policy. It is clear that critical approaches come up with explanations that are diametrically different and, thus reject the validity of the mainstream approaches.

“…Subsequently, competition for resources occurs between humans and great apes, causing direct and indirect conflicts. Great apes menace human safety or property in various ways: crop raids, predation on domestic animals, and other disturbances of livelihood areas/materials (Norberg 2008, Laudati 2010, injuries or death by direct aggression, and interference with daily movement at road crossings (Hockings et al 2010). Human-great ape close contact raises the risks of disease transmission and endangers human health and survival.…”

African great apes are threatened with extinction by an increasing number of human activities. Along with an increase in the habitat overlap used by local people and great apes, human-great ape conflicts have become intense. Many protected areas have recently been established for the conservation of great apes and other biodiversity in Africa, but difficulties have arisen while adopting the "fences-and-fines" management approach. Tourism could provide an alternative approach for the management of protected areas as a sustainable use of biodiversity, and an alternative source of income for local communities and governments of countries with this type of habitat. However, with few exceptions, great ape tourism projects are faced with challenges. Moreover, great ape tourism increases the risks of disease transmission between humans and great apes. Nevertheless, great apes, as charismatic flagship species, are essential for successful wildlife tourism. In this paper, I reconsider the current style of great ape tourism that depends on close visual contact between tourists and great apes. Then, I propose a novel style of great ape tourism. It is based on using narratives about great apes generated by local community members as the leading tour product, and visual contact as the supplementary product. This approach might 1) reduce the negative effects of tourism on great apes; and 2) enhance proactive commitment by community members, and lead to a fair revenue sharing system.
