AI Summary
This journal summary discusses the impact of tourism on wildlife and the importance of interpretation in enhancing tourist experiences. Tourism, encompassing movements of people for personal or professional reasons, can offer thrilling experiences, particularly through wildlife tourism, which involves observing and interacting with local flora and fauna in their natural habitats. While wildlife tourism can disturb animals and affect their behavior, it also contributes to conservation by deterring poachers and generating economic benefits for local communities. The profitability of wildlife tourism, being five times greater than illegal poaching, incentivizes animal protection. Countries like those in Africa benefit economically from wildlife tourism, which enhances their GDP. Overall, when managed responsibly, wildlife tourism provides more advantages than disadvantages, creating memorable and heart-pounding experiences for tourists, as highlighted by Weiler and Ham (2001) and Newsome (2020).
