Measuring the impact of viewing wildlife: do positive intentions equate to long-term changes in conservation behaviour? (2013, result): “Similar patterns were found by Ballantyne, Packer, and Falk (2011), who reported that 33% of respondents at four wildlife tourism sites expressed a strong desire to protect and conserve the environment immediately after their visit.”
The influence of recreation experience and environmental attitude on the environmentally responsible behavior of community-based tourists in Taiwan (2015, background): “In the nature-based tourism context, Ballantyne, Packer, and Falk (2011) proposed that the constructs comprising the wildlife tourism experience are experiential engagement and reflective engagement.”
Understanding and Engagement in Places of Science Experience: Science Museums, Science Centers, Zoos, and Aquariums (2014, background): “predispositions and active learning as by the powerful combination of the emotional and social context of the visit (Ballantyne et al., 2011).”
Influence of interpretation on conservation intentions of whale tourists (2014, background): “Previous research has revealed a positive relationship between interpretation and conservation intentions in wildlife tourism contexts (Ballantyne et al., 2011; Miller et al., 2013; Powell & Ham, 2008).”
Investigating wellness tourists’ motivation, engagement, and loyalty: in search of the missing link (2017, methodology): “experience and well-being, and exposes tourists’ memories of destinations (Ballantyne et al., 2011).”
Structural equation modelling and regression analysis in tourism research (2012, background): “…experiences, behaviours, and loyalty with respect to a particular destination or a particular type of tourism or a specific tourist attraction Ballantyne, Packer, and Falk (2011) Tourism Management Ramkissoon and Uysal (2011) Current Issues in Tourism Prayag and Ryan (in press) Journal of…”
Theory of planned behaviour: predicting tourists’ pro-environmental intentions after a humpback whale encounter (2019, background): “whales, as zoo-based experiences may not trigger the same extreme emotions (Ballantyne et al., 2011; McIntosh & Wright, 2017).”
Biological effects, conservation potential, and research priorities of shark diving tourism. (2015, background): “…tourism setting, suggesting that these experiences are likely to be most effective at communicating with those who already possess environmental awareness and a conservation ethos, and are more likely to lead to learning than to long term attitudinal or behavioral change (Ballantyne et al., 2011).”
Zoo Visitors' Affective Responses to Observing Animal Behaviors (2016, background): “A reflective response entails some level of cognitive processing of the experience, which “elicits the personal meaning of the experience” (Ballantyne et al., 2011, p. 777).”
Ecotourism Behavior of Nature-Based Tourists: An Integrative Framework (2018, background): “Demonstrating the disasters caused by environmental impacts to increase tourists’ empathy toward the natural environment can help tourists reflect on their behavior and become aware of environmental degradations (Ballantyne, Packer, and Falk 2011).”
