“…The results above notwithstanding, a majority (93%) of the respondents gave had positive attitudes towards nature interpretational knowledge possessed by the tour guides in MMNR. This statistic was indeed an overwhelming endorsement of earlier research carried out in a similar nature interpretation ecosystem in the state of Virginia, U.S.A [74,84]. However, on the contrary, there was a small fraction who had negative attitudes towards nature interpretational knowledge possessed by tour guides in MMNR.…”

“…The study used a semi-structured questionnaire consisting of mainly closed-ended items rooted on Likert scale items. This choice was informed by the fact that, although attitudes are reasons for individuals behaviour, they are latent constructs that cannot be observed directly but are inferred from overt responses using Likert scale items rather than being measured directly [66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76]78]. Secondly, time and cost constraints compelled the use of questionnaires to establish the perceptions and attitudes that nature interpretation had created amongst tourists to support conservation and enhanced experience and satisfaction within a short time frame compared to the observation method.…”

“…As a matter of the fact, to gain public support for a use limits proposal [12], managers need to establish an empirical relationship that predicts how congestion and crowding levels at hotspots are responsive to different use limits applied. However, the lack of empirical evidence to describe the relationship between use level and crowding is a vexing problem for managing visitors [18].…”
