“…Botanic gardens offer unique contexts for transformative service innovations given their longstanding heritage and multifunctional nature as, first and foremost, research institutions, biodiversity conservation sites, places and spaces for education, and displays of special botanical collections. They also provide leisure, tourism, recreation, healthcare, and other spaces: a diverse cultural ecosystem of services [2,37,[41][42][43][44]. However, realizing the full transformative potential of botanic garden tourism requires overcoming persistent challenges related to access and inclusion, knowledge sharing, capacity, environmental sustainability and stewardship, impact assessment, and service-related opportunities in the areas and regions surrounding and connected to botanic gardens [12,13,[45][46][47].…”

“…The present commentary concludes with suggested research priority areas where TSR approaches could catalyze service innovations that leverage botanic garden tourism. It is intended that such considerations and proaction improve accessibility, mindfulness, visitor behavior and epistemological change in botanic garden guests and partnerships, visitor economy, visitor experience, social value, and community health outcomes as well as ultimately contribute to meeting SDGs and the sector's strategic vision, mission, aims, and objectives [4,6,[8][9][10]21,34,39,40,43,44,[47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65].…”

Many botanic gardens are flourishing, and many others can learn from those leading the way; at the same time, all can form new allegiances informed by service research. We developed this paper to plant seeds for different stakeholders interested in putting a spotlight on botanic garden tourism opportunities. It is in response to a call to action by many stakeholders across the botanic garden sector for greater public engagement, to challenge plant awareness disparity, and to ensure the vitality and viability of the sector. Our commentary considers positive, transformative service making, marketing, management, and development. We recommend holistic, integrated services via ecosystemic thinking and collaborative partnerships across the sector and with non-traditional partnerships in the design of sustainable service ecosystems. It is envisaged that service research will spur on a more responsible, ethical, moral enterprise and sustainable botanic garden tourism with opportunities to drive positive, transformative change in meeting sustainable development goals for the good of plants, people, and planet.

Resumo: A matriz da atividade turística mudou e assume-se agora como uma indústria de experiências o que tem feito aumentar a procura de paisagens pelo que estas evocam, simbolizam e representam. Os jardins, documentos culturais e espaços de sensações visuais e sensoriais várias são cada vez mais locais de visita, de atividades várias ou simplesmente de contemplação e de estar. Estão na ordem do dia no contexto internacional e o turismo de jardins experiencia um crescimento notável, ao ponto de ser considerado um fenómeno do turismo cultural e de recreação da sociedade pós-moderna. Este trabalho pretende analisar o contexto internacional e nacional deste nicho turístico com o objetivo de demonstrar que os jardins constituem locais turísticos com potencialidades e com uma margem de progressão grande.
