Nature tourism in the High Coast of Sweden The conditions for nature tourism in the form of kayaking in the High Coast of Sweden. The aim of this study was to investigate the conditions for nature tourism in the form of kayaking in the High Coast of Sweden. The work focused on examining: the impact of protected areas, logistics and security for the kayak activity, visible evidences from the last glacial period (Weichsel), isostatic uplift and coastal processes, and also time- and site specific environmental effects of kayaking. Three destinations were selected as the main investigation sites.   In a protected area there are regulations that limits activities that may be carried out. Protected areas also promote outdoor recreation as a main goal. Logistics and security risks were documented for possible starting locations and routes. The results showed that evidences of glacial processes, isostatic uplift and coastal processes were visible at all three destinations. Trysunda showed the greatest presence of traces/kilometer. However, Trysunda was surveyed by hiking which may have affected the results. Trysunda showed the largest number of evidences of coastal processes, which may depend on the high exposure of this island to wave energy. At all three destinations environmental effects were found as abrasion on the vegetation as well as the disturbance of birds.   The conclusion is that all three destinations represent good sites for the experience of distinct educational traces of glacial and postglacial processes. Furthermore, the study emphasizes that the kayaker should have some experience of previous kayaking. The kayaker can benefit from the free facilities established in the protected areas.

Increased interest in nature tourism may be what saves small and dying villages, like Borgsjö in the county of Västerbotten in northern Sweden, from disappearing. The nearly untouched nature in these areas is in many cases an unused resource, since true wildlife experiences are sought by many travelers. The purpose with this report is to investigate if Borgsjö has the potential and abilities to become a destination for nature tourists, and how this should be done to avoid negative effects on nature, wildlife and culture. To find the answers of these questions I have sought information in reports relevant for the subject and organizations that handles hunting, wildlife- and nature care. I have also interviewed local villagers for their opinion and knowledge. A lot of the information about the nature and wildlife comes from my own experience and knowledge, since I have spent a lot of time in the area during several years. Several studies in the area regarding the status of wildlife populations, the production of fish in the waters and the recreational bearing capacity of the land have to be made before any organized tourism can take place. Borgsjö has a big potential for nature tourism, and the villagers agree. Most of the villagers are rather old and the project requires an entrepreneur experienced in nature tourism, a new way of thinking and possibilities to invest. Nature tourism, Borgsjö, ecotourism

Coastal counties in the United States have placed a new emphasis on tourism related employment. The shift away from normal maritime work, such as fishing and import/export shipping has ushered in an era of service-oriented economies and communities scattered along the US coast lines. This trend which is associated with the transition from Fordism to post-Fordism can be seen most prevalently in Florida's Tampa Bay region. The counties that make up Tampa Bay include Citrus, Hernando, Hillsborough, Manatee, Pasco, Pinellas, and Sarasota.The lure of sandy beaches and blue seas are the obvious tourist draws to any tropical locale, including the Tampa Bay region. But it is blatantly shortsighted to pinpoint locational attributes as the only factor in creating a tourist economy. This study hopes to make a contribution to the tourism literature in human geography by considering the role of non-locational attributes which are crucial to the growth and development of tourism-driven economies along the coastal US.

There is no sustainability without responsibility. This research considers the connection between collaboration and responsibility. Responsible tourism has been discussed together with sustainable tourism, but who is responsible for increasing sustainability have not been researched widely. The research focus is on the nature tourism network. The tourism network consists of multiple public and private stakeholders with different agreements. All the stakeholders have their agendas, but sustainability can be seen as a common goal for each stakeholder in the nature tourism network. The question is how to implement more sustainability within tourism stakeholders and how much public-private partnerships affect the responsibility of sustainability. The qualitative research was done by mixed methods. The survey for SMEs and semi-structured interviews for SMEs and DMOs. The research area in coastal Finland includes multiple nature destinations which are owned by the state. In the previous research, it was stated that a sustainable tourism destination needs collaboration. In this research was found that SMEs cannot work without cooperation, especially in nature-based tourism destinations. The purpose of this paper was to see how the quality of collaboration between the stakeholders influences taking responsibility for sustainability actions. The lack of communication and cooperation between the public-private sector may lead to misunderstandings in sustainable tourism cooperation. Miscommunication of the delegation for the responsibilities affects the success of the sustainability implementations. This research highlights the importance of efficient stakeholder management and future research on sharing responsibility for achieving sustainability in the tourism sector.

Parallel to the social and economic situation, where the experience economy is a reality, new tourist typologies are emerging in line with this demand experiential. Tourists are looking for sensations and emotions, so tourism sector has diversified its offer adapting to this desire. Active tourism appears, mode belonging to a larger field, nature tourism, a booming tourist type today by the increase of tourists interested in its activities. Therefore, this paper takes from this concept to below detail the types that are part of it, and finally it does an analysis of the active tourism offer of the Spanish territory, territory that is appropriate for this type of activity. / Paralelamente a la evolución social y económica actual, en la que la economía de experiencias ya es una realidad, emergen nuevas tipologías turísticas acordes a la presente demanda experiencial. El turista busca sensaciones y emociones, por lo que el sector turístico diversifica su oferta adaptándose a este deseo. Aparece así el turismo activo, modalidad perteneciente a un campo mayor, el turismo de naturaleza, en auge el día de hoy por el incremento de turistas interesados en las actividades que lo componen. El presente artículo parte de dicho concepto para a continuación, detallar las tipologías que forman parte del mismo y finalmente realizar un análisis de la oferta de turismo activo del territorio español, territorio que a priori se presenta favorable para este tipo de actividades.

<p>Specijalni rezervati prirode &quot;Gornje Podunavlje&quot;, &quot;Karađorđevo&quot;, &quot;Koviljsko - petrovaradinski rit&quot;, &quot;Obedska bara&quot;, i &quot;Stari Begej - Carska bara&quot; predstavljaju upečatljive primere vlažnih stani&scaron;ta Vojvodine. Raznovrsni prirodni resursi predodredili su ove prostore za privredni razvoj u okviru &scaron;umarstva, ribarstva, lovstva, ali i turizma. Sve to proizvodi&nbsp; snažan pritisak na za&scaron;tićene ekosisteme. Intenzivni uticaji na ove prostore realizovani su i u pro&scaron;losti, pre progla&scaron;enja za&scaron;tite. Zbog svega, ovo je pravi momenat da se počne razmi&scaron;ljati o njihovom održivom kori&scaron;ćenju, kako bi i buduće generacije mogle, u istoj ili većoj meri, da koriste resurse specijalnih rezervata prirode. Održivi razvoj bi mogao bitno da pomogne proces za&scaron;tite prirode koja je od su&scaron;tinskog značaja za ova vlažna stani&scaron;ta.</p> / <p>Special nature reserves &quot;Gornje Podunavlje, &quot;Karadjordjevo&quot;, &quot;Koviljsko - petrovaradinski rit&quot;, &quot;Obedska bara&quot;, and &quot;Stari Begej - Carska bara&quot; present outstanding examples of wetlands in Vojvodina. Diverse natural resources have earmarked these areas for economic development within forestry, fishing, hunting and tourism. All of these activities have protection of nature has been declared. Because of all this, it is the right moment to start thinking about using special nature reserves sustainably, so as to let future generations use their rosources to a greater extent. Sustainable development could significantly help the process of the protection of nature, which is of essential importance for these wetlands.</p>
