editorial
Like any industry, tourism responds to market forces and tries to give customers what they want. The nature-based niche is no different. Those who get it right prosper and those who don’t fade into oblivion. Some of the more farsighted and intuitive operators might even attempt to anticipate the next wave of enthusiams, but most will follow tried and trusted formulas until they no longer work, and then try hard to adapt. The big question is whether any of it is sustainable in the long term, given that more and more people want the wilderness and wildlife ‘experience’.
