My class is studying impacts of tourism on nature and values of tourists for nature.
The big takeaways for me:
- Tourists want to be allowed to go places but they don't want tourists to be allowed to go there because they don't want to see any tourists while they're touring.
- Tourists don't want to see any infrastructure that implies there are tourists there, but they are certain every other tourist wants this.
- land managers put in infrastructure like tracks and toilets mostly to corral human damage
Tldr: the idea that 'most tourists like the tourist trap but I'm qualified to go off track' is almost universal among tourists and is one of the biggest problems for land management in australia. No one likes the tourist trap infrastructure, it's there to stop you fucking up nature Greg.
