• Visitors’ learning for environmental sustainability: Testing short- and long-term impacts of wildlife tourism experiences using structural equation modelling (2011, background): “Many of these outcomes, particularly in relation to changes in actual environmental behaviour, may only become apparent weeks or months after the experience (Adelman et al, 2000; Anderson, Storksdieck & Spock, 2006; Ballantyne and Packer, 2009b; Falk, et al., 2004).”
