“…Nature-based firms' lifestyle and small-scale characteristics make them vulnerable to resource deficiency, which may constrain entrepreneurial success, and resources in nature are thus highly significant for fulfilling such firms' business goals (Lundberg & Fredman, 2012;Lundmark & Müller, 2010;Stensland et al, 2014). As a consequence, resource quality and potential must be assessed for the development and management of tourism products (Alaeddinoglu & Can, 2011). In the context of NBT, human-made physical resources, such as cultivated landscapes, infrastructure, and purpose-built attractions, are co-located with natural resources (Marcouiller & Prey, 2005;.…”

Nature-based tourism firms and other stakeholders often compete for the same resources. Knowledge of and access to resource bases are therefore essential for firms' success. Nature-based tourism firms operate in nature areas, which, for the Nordics, may include human-made objects and intangibles. In this study, we therefore adopt a broad approach towards the concept of natural resources and include human-made, social, and cultural resources, termed resources in nature. Based on 558 survey responses, we analyse the dependence on resources in nature for three types of nature-based tourism firms in Norway. Intangible resources, such as silence, views, and other sensory qualities, are generally the most essential resource group for the firms, together with special biotopes and unique and iconic landscapes and areas. Cultural resources are also of certain importance to the firms. This study contributes to knowledge-based management and the prioritization of resources essential for the nature-based tourism industry. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…Sustainable tourism development (STD) applies elements of sustainable development in the context of tourism and recent years has become a dominant paradigm (Hunter, 1995). In addition, the development of sustainable tourism has also become a strategic issue in every tourism development in each region (Alaeddinoglu & Can, 2011;Andreyanova & Ivolga, 2018;Aswita et al, 2018;Dymond, 1997), including the development of bay tourism (Nel & Binns, 2002;Pham, 2012;Stonich et al, 1995). Although many studies have revealed the importance of sustainable tourism development in the local region, studies of tourism development in the bay area (for example, tourism potential, development concepts, and policy directions) are still few and have not been explicitly discussed.…”

“…For example, much of southern Africa's tourism industry relies on national parks, game reserves and other protected areas containing world renowned wildlife, biological diversity and natural attractions (Poonyth et al, 2002). Nature-based tourism is a key revenue earner in developing countries such Kenya, Nepal, Tanzania, Costa Rica and Botswana (Eagles, 2003;Alaeddinoglu and Can, 2011). The tourism industry uses energy and there is need to ensure that energy use in this sector is sustainable and environmentally friendly.…”

This paper examines energy use in lodges and camps in the Okavango Delta, Botswana. The paper draws from the concept of sustainable tourism. Both primary and secondary data were used. Secondary sources used include: management plans and policy documents on energy and tourism development in the Okavango Delta. Primary data collection included the use of informal interviews with key stakeholders of the energy and tourism industries. Results indicate that lodges and camps largely use fossil fuels than renewable energy sources. Fossil fuels used include petroleum products like diesel oil, petrol and paraffin. Diesel is used to generate power to meet energy demands in hotels and lodges. Renewable energy sources like solar is used minimally. Therefore, energy policy needs to address the lack of renewable energy in the Okavango Delta. That is, to achieve sustainable tourism, renewable energy like solar energy which is environmentally friendly should be promoted in policy development.
