“…Still, these landscapes can offer visitors with scenery that is different from their daily lives and more unique than plant or liquid-waterdominated landscapes, thus creating strong senses of being away from everyday routines and worries (Pilotti et al, 2019). Several studies have also underlined the beauty and physical appeal of some deserts (e.g., Gutberlet, 2019); and polar spaces (Cajiao et al, 2022;Powell et al, 2012;Summerson & Lieser, 2018). Aesthetics is also a key element of cave tourism (Kim et al, 2008).…”

“…At the local scale, scholars have emphasized the negative environmental effects of tourism, especially in Antarctica. Several studies have examined wildlife behaviour in response to human activities at visitor sites, with almost all of them concluding that the presence of humans within a certain radius of, e.g., bird colonies, has a negative, but apparently transitory, impact on wildlife (Coetzee et al, 2017;Holmes et al, 2008;Coetzee & Chown, 2016;Cajiao et al, 2022;Holmes et al, 2005). Negative cumulative environmental impacts include the potential introduction of invasive species and trampling of microscopic flora and fauna in areas of concentrated tourist activities and along designated visitation routes.…”

“…These potential positive impacts have been readily adopted by the tourism sector under the concept of ambassadorship (Alexander et al, 2019). However, a deeper understanding is needed regarding whether and how experiences and memories acquired during a polar journey might trigger positive long-term behavioural and attitudinal changes (Miller et al, 2020;Cajiao et al, 2022;Powell et al, 2012).…”

Over the last couple of decades, polar tourism has significantly grown in the number of visitors and diversified in terms of the tourism activities offered. The COVID-19 pandemic brought polar tourism to a halt and has prompted researchers, operators and policy-makers alike to reflect on how Arctic and Antarctic tourism have developed, how they are being managed and governed and, importantly, how tourism operators influence polar socio-ecological systems. Given the dominance of ship-based tourism over other types of tourism in the Polar Regions, we discuss the cornerstones of how polar ship-based tourism has developed over the last 50 years and explore the relevant international and regional governance regimes in this article. We identify which positive and negative biophysical, socio-cultural and economic impacts arising from polar tourism have been identified by researchers. It is difficult, if not impossible, to disentangle impacts caused by tourism alone from those that result from the interactions of multiple pressures at all levels (local, regional and global), and more research is needed to develop reliable and effective indicators to monitor tourism impacts. In addition, a better understanding is needed about the role tourist experiences might play in potentially encouraging long-term positive behavioural changes among visitors to the Polar Regions. The COVID-19 pandemic has provided an important opportunity to review polar tourism development and management, and to ask whether an emphasis should be placed on ‘degrowth’ of the sector in the future.

“…Dodds (2020) proposes a model of TX's "lifecycle", indicating that a tourist may transit through four stages: excitement, novelty, normalization, and familiarity [85]. Cajiao et al (2022) identify four motivations of Antarctic tourists: experience and learning, adventure, social bonding, and the lifetime trip [86]. Pafi et al (2020) argue that TX of coastal landscapes needs to be understood from a community-led rather than market-led perspective [87].…”

Tourist experience (TX) has been covered by many studies. However, a consensus on the topic still needs to be reached in terms of its dimensions, factors, evaluation methods, and evaluation models. Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic severely affected the tourism sector, and the post-pandemic era could bring about new challenges and opportunities, such as the growing awareness of the need for greener, more sustainable, and more balanced tourism. In this study, we consider TX a particular case of customer experience (CX) and an extension of the user experience (UX) concept. We conducted a systematic literature review addressing the concept of TX and reviewing articles published from 2012 to April 2023, indexed in two significant and relevant databases (Web of Sciences and Science Direct). We addressed research questions concerning (1) TX definition; (2) TX dimensions, attributes, and factors; (3) methods used to evaluate TX; and (4) the post-pandemic TX. We selected and thoroughly analyzed 167 articles. We analyze the TX concept, models, evaluation, and the post-pandemic context. We propose a holistic definition of TX and recommend ways to achieve its better analysis. Lessons learned during the COVID-19 pandemic may be helpful when dealing with future challenges and crises.
