“…Moreover, unlike many other countries where nature-based tourism and recreation often take place in designated areas, the Right of Public Access (everyman's right) allows access for recreation including the picking of berries and mushrooms in all undeveloped areas. These rights cause both challenges and opportunities to nature-based tourism entrepreneurs (Fredman and Tyrv€ ainen 2010).…”

“…Nature-based tourism is a rapidly expanding sector within tourism in Europe and elsewhere (Bell et al 2008;Fredman and Tyrv€ ainen 2010). The demand has created opportunities for nature-based tourism to develop as an economic diversification tool within regions rich in natural amenities, such as northern Europe.…”

Developing nature-based tourism in private lands calls for new mechanisms to consolidate the interests of the tourism industry, visitors, and landowners. This choice experiment study elaborates on the heterogeneity of visitors' preferences and willingness to pay (WTP) for enhanced forest amenities and ecosystem services. The survey, targeting domestic and foreign tourists visiting the Ruka-Kuusamo area in Finland, considered four attributes: landscape quality, outdoor routes, forest biodiversity, and carbon sequestration. For observed heterogeneity, the visitors were grouped by their attitudes towards forest management. Unobserved heterogeneity in visitors' choice behaviour and WTP was examined with the latent class model. While most visitors had environmentally friendly attitudes and were willing to pay, especially for enhanced landscape quality and biodiversity, considerable heterogeneity was revealed in terms of three segments with distinctive attitudes, choice behaviour and WTP. The variation in WTP has important implications for the design of a scheme of payments for environmental management.

“…NBT in Northern Ontario is largely made up of small-scale businesses that are farnily-run or operated by entrepreneurs (Fredman & Tyrvainen, 2010;Lundberg & Fredman, 2012). Unlike the large corporations that dominate the traditional mass tourism market, the literature on ecotourism and NBT operators suggests that these NBT operators have priorities beyond economic growth and profit (Ateljevic & Doorne, 2000;Dawson, Fountain, & Cohen, 2011 ;Lundberg & Fredman, 2012).…”

“…Snowmobilers identified time with family and friends, adventure and challenge, meeting new people, getting to a destination and prestige as motivations (Jackson & Wong, 1982 The nature in nature-based tourism. Fredman, Wall-Reinius, and Grunden (2012) and Fredman and Tyrvainen (2010) identified a natural landscape as an important aspect of the NBT experience. The ideas surrounding nature and the appeal of a natural landscape have changed over time and vary from culture to culture and person to person (Cronon, 1995;Demeritt, 2002;Wall-Reinius, 2012).…”

Highways and lifeways: Highway 11 and the shaping of the ways of life and senses of place of nature-based tourism operators in South-Central Almaguin, Ontario, Canada

Transportation infrastructure played a vital role in the establishment of the communities in South-Central Almaguin, and the development of this infrastructure continues to shape the landscapes and taskscapes of the region. Nature-based tourism operators are a key stakeholder in the South-Central Almaguin region and are uniquely situated as they rely on transportation infrastructure, the natural landscape, and the local communities for the operation of their businesses. For this qualitative case study I used semistructured interviews and the collection of news media to explore the impact of the Highway 11 development project on NBT operators. Using lngold's concepts of landscape, taskscape, and mobility, I sought to understand how the highway changes have shaped the ways of life and senses of place ofNBT operators. Through the interviews I identified major shifts in the mobility of travellers and in the organization of the communities of South-Central Almaguin.These shifts resulted in economic changes and loss of business connections for NBT operators, change in travel times and safety, increased regional collaboration, and a drive for a regional destination brand. The implications of these shifts on the ways of life and senses of place ofNBT operators were largely positive for destination businesses, while being largely negative for businesses that relied on through-traffic. The nature of the given businesses also determined the impact that the highway changes have had on the place dependence and place identity of the NBT operators, and subsequent changes to place attachment. The results of this research suggest two possible paths forward for the communities of South-Central Almaguin, as communities struggle to sustain themselves in isolation and destination NBT operators push for a regional focus and cooperation.
