“…Natural characteristics received high satisfaction from visitors while their satisfaction with park infrastructure and services were lower in both seasons.

“…Um sicherzustellen, dass die Touristen, die diese Schutzgebiete besuchen, mit ihrem Aufenthalt zufrieden sind, müssen die Akteure der Parks -insbesondere die Schutzgebietsverwaltungen -einen Einblick in die Erwartungen der Besucher und die Erfahrungen, die sie machen, erhalten. In der Literatur finden sich Beispiele für Untersuchungen zur Besucherzufriedenheit, bei denen die Qualitäten der Schutzgebiete, die sich auf das Zufriedenheitsniveau auswirken, ermittelt und bewertet (Agyeman et al, 2019;Ranasinghe et al, 2019;Geng et al, 2021) und die Erwartungen der Touristen erforscht werden, um so eine optimale Zuweisung von Ressourcen und Bereitstellung von Dienstleistungen zu ermöglichen (Bushell & Griffin, 2006). Solche Studien ermöglichen es den Besuchern, dass sie den vom Besuch des Schutzgebietes erwarteten Nutzen auch erzielen (Crilley et al, 2012).…”

“…Ähnlich wie für das oben genannte Beispiel der USA gibt es Zufriedenheitsanalysen für eine Reihe von Schutzgebieten rund um den Globus, wie den Banff-Nationalpark, Kanada (Geng et al, 2021), den Kafue-Nationalpark, Sambia (Thapa & Lee, 2016), den Kakum-Nationalpark, Ghana (Agyeman et al, 2019), den Dadia-Lefkimi-Souflion-Nationalpark, Griechenland (Arabatzis & Grigoroudis, 2010), um nur einige zu nennen. Im Folgenden geben wir einen Überblick über Studien zur Besucherzufriedenheit in polnischen (3.2.1) und deutschen (3.2.2) Schutzgebieten.…”

“…In order to ensure that the tourists visiting these sites are satisfied with their stay, the parks' stakeholders -in particular the authorities -must gain an insight into the visitors' expectations and the experience they get. The literature contains examples of research into visitor satisfaction, whereby the PAs' qualities affecting the level of satisfaction are identified and assessed (Agyeman et al, 2019;Ranasinghe et al, 2019; and the tourists' expectations explored, thus allowing for the optimal allocation of resources and provision of services . Through such studies, opportunities are created that enable the visitors to derive the benefits they expect .…”
