Determinants of visitors' willingness to pay for the National Marine Park of Zakynthos, Greece (2006, background): “Indeed, financial support of nature conservation is considered among the primary components of the environmentalist dimension of ecotourism (Gossling, 1999; Bjork, 2000; Twindale and Bourne, 2003).”
Ecotourism: The Evolving Contemporary Definition (2006, methodology): “Content analysis is a research technique for making replicable and valid inferences based on the systematic and objective analysis (comparing, contrasting and categorising) of communications (Babbie, 1992; Krippendorff, 1980; Schwandt, 2001).”
Environmentally Responsible Behavior in Ecotourism: Exploring the Role of Destination Image and Value Perception (2014, background): “Ecotourism is a form of tourism that focuses on experiencing natural sites, emphasizes the appeal of environmental conservation and provides satisfaction with experiences for tourists attracted to natural sites (Bjork, 2000; Webb, 2002).”
The perceived value of the rural tourism stay and its effect on rural tourist behaviour (2012, background): “Given the key role played by these tourist motives linked to learning, the discovery of the rural area and its sustainability (Blanco Herranz, 1996; Björk, 2000), this dimension is of great importance.”
The Economic Promise of Ecotourism for Conservation (2007, background): “These understandings of market forces in society continue to pervade our relatively new ideas about ecotourism and the kinds of changes the global tourism market can or ‘should’ introduce to local communities (Acott & laTrobe, 1998; Bjork, 2000; Buckley, 1994; fennell, 2003; Weaver, 2001).”
Using Tourist Typologies for Ecotourism Research (2002, background): “As refinements are made to the definitions and conceptual frameworks for ecotourism (e.g. Björk, 2000;Blamey, 1997;Diamantis & Ladkin, 1999;Hvenegaard, 1994), a major problem in ecotourism research remains.”
Factors Influencing Young People's Conceptions of Environment (2003, background): “For instance, the rise of ecotourism, and an awareness of the idea that maintaining and enjoying the environment is a family-oriented leisure activity, may also lead to the development of concerned and active social groups (Bjork, 2000; Welford et al., 1999).”
Toward a product-based typology for nature-based tourism: a conceptual framework (2010, background): “…undisturbed natural areas” (Ceballos-Lascuraı́n, 1991, p. 31) in such a way that their activities “conserve the environment and improve the well-being of local people” (The International Ecotourism Society, 1991, p. 3) and hence “contribute to sustainable development” (Björk, 2000, p. 196).”
