Wildlife Tourism: A Synthesis of Past, Present, and Future Research Agenda

Abstract

Wildlife tourism (WT) is an emerging sector of tourism, majorly meant to view and/or encounter wildlife in the wild, captive, and semi-captive settings. Because of the new emerging economies, there is an increased demand for wildlife destinations in both, developing and developed nations. However, a comprehensive study is lacking in WT. In this context, the present study seeks to bring together and discuss the key findings on WT from the present literature and propose new approaches to research using co-citation, co-authorship, and co-occurrence analyses. Further, the study also considers research on WT conducted so far like attitudes, birdwatching, conservation, economics, hunting, mammals, management, marine monitoring, negative impacts, positive impacts, captive wildlife, and

The journey of F1000Research since inception: through bibliometric analysis

“…Co-word analysis is the only technique that considers the publication’s content when measuring similarity while co-occurrence analysis, evaluates the papers more indirectly through citations ( Kanta et al, 2021 ). In the present study, co-occurrence analysis is used to evaluate the articles published overtime based on author keywords.…”

Trends in Multidiscipline Management Research: Past, Present and Future of FIIB Business Review

“…Bibliometric is frequently utilized to summarize the most representative findings of a collection of academic papers. Numerous bibliometric studies have been published in the literature, covering a wide range of topics such as business and management (Podsakoff et al, 2008), economics (Bonilla et al, 2015;Kaur & Kaur, 2020), tourism and hospitality (Kanta et al, 2021), human resources (Kaushal et al, 2021) and entrepreneurship (Landstrom et al, 2012). The analysis focuses on the scholarly research outputs from previously published research articles in academic journals, a phenomenon under investigation, methodology, sampling design and statistical approaches (Cobo et al, 2011;Sakshi et al, 2020).…”

Measuring the Psychological Markers of Birds Encounter Using Virtual Reality Environments

“…For instance, animals formerly exclusively available in zoos are now accessible in their natural habitat. This is due to a rise in the desire for encounters with wild animals in their native habitats rather than those kept in captivity or semi-captivity [14,15]. The rising importance placed on wildlife in its natural habitat may be a result of people's growing knowledge of the environment and interest in the idea of ecology [13][14][15].…”
