wildlife hunting tourism market

Worldwide Wildlife Hunting Tourism Industry to 2028 - by Type, Species Type, Contribution and Region - ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN--( BUSINESS WIRE )--The "Wildlife Hunting Tourism Market, By Type, By Species Type, By Contribution and By Region" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Wildlife tourism is a branch of the tourism industry in many countries that focuses on observing and interacting with local animals and plants in their natural environments. Because wildlife is a renewable resource with a surplus, hunters aid in maintaining a healthy wildlife population for the habitat through wildlife hunting.

Wildlife hunting tourism is an effective way to raise revenue and create economic incentives for wildlife conservation. According to the U.S. National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), in 2016, American hunters spent US$ 7.1 billion on equipment such as firearms, ammunition, and archery gears among others. In addition, they spent US$ 3.2 billion on travel to and from their hunting destinations.

Wildlife hunting tourism helps African nations to practice conservation while also improving the livelihoods of rural and indigenous people so that it reduces their dependence on foreign aids. These nations follow revenue-sharing agreements between rural communities, private enterprises, and conservation agencies.

According to analysis of 2021-2027, in Zimbabwe under the Communal Areas Management Program for Indigenous Resources (CAMPFIRE), rural communities lease hunting and other tourism rights to commercial outfitters.

These communities are then paid 50% of the revenues generated by the tourism activity. In 2019, According to Property and Environment Research Center (PERC, a conservation and research institute dedicated to free market environmentalism), trophy hunting accounts for 90% of revenue generated through CAMPFIRE, which accounted for approximately US$ 11.4 million between 2010 and 2015.

Due to the government of countries like South Africa and Namibia's commitment to wildlife conservation, wildlife conservation factor is expected to have a negative impact on the global wildlife hunting tourism market. There are various wildlife welfare organizations such as Born Free Foundation, Humane Society International, among others which are creating awareness about wildlife conservation and discouraging people from wildlife hunting. Moreover, they also pressure governments to ban wildlife hunting in their countries. This factor is expected to hamper the market growth of the global wildlife hunting tourism over the forecast period. These associations refute claims that wildlife hunting benefits conservation and contributes significantly to local economies.

Description

Table of contents.

The global wildlife hunting tourism market was valued at US$ 369.6 Mn in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 1,775.7 Mn by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 21.7% during the forecast period.

Wildlife tourism is a branch of the tourism industry in many countries that focuses on observing and interacting with local animals and plants in their natural environments. Wildlife is a renewable resource with a surplus, hunter's aid in maintaining a healthy wildlife population for the habitat through wildlife hunting.

Market Dynamics

Wildlife hunting tourism is an effective way to raise revenue and create economic incentives for wildlife conservation. According to the U.S. National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), in 2021, the average annual expenditure on hunting and fishing equipment per consumer unit in the US increased to nearly US$ 59

Wildlife hunting tourism helps African nations practice conservation while also improving the livelihoods of rural and indigenous people so that it reduces their dependence on foreign aid. These nations follow revenue-sharing agreements between rural communities, private enterprises, and conservation agencies. These communities are then paid 50% of the revenues generated by the tourism activity. In 2022, According to Property and Environment Research Center (PERC, a conservation and research institute dedicated to free market environmentalism), trophy hunting will account for 90% of revenue generated through campfire.

Due to the governments of countries like South Africa and Namibia's commitment to wildlife conservation, the wildlife conservation factor is expected to have a negative impact on the global wildlife hunting tourism market. There are various wildlife welfare organizations, such as the Born Free Foundation and Humane Society International, among others that are creating awareness about wildlife conservation and discouraging people from wildlife hunting. Moreover, they also pressure governments to ban wildlife hunting in their countries. This factor is expected to hamper market growth of the global wildlife hunting tourism over the forecast period. These associations refute claims that wildlife hunting benefits conservation and contributes significantly to local economies.

The European market potential for wildlife tourism

Wildlife tourism has been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, as wildlife tourism requires spacious destinations, this niche market is expected to recover faster than others. The United Kingdom, Germany, and France are the largest European source countries for wildlife tourism. As Europeans are becoming more aware of the current climate crisis, the demand for sustainability is increasing. After COVID-19 the European market for wildlife tourism will offer many opportunities, with more tourists wanting to connect with nature and a higher demand for sustainable wildlife travel options.

• Which trends offer opportunities in the European market for wildlife tourism?

1. Product description

Wildlife tourism refers to travel that is concerned with the observation of, and interaction with, animal species at the travel destination. Wildlife tourism consists of three specialist niche markets and their respective passion groups.

Table 1: Overview of specialist niches and their passion groups

Safaris, marine life watching, and wildlife watching are forms of non-consumptive tourism, consisting of a variety of wildlife observing activities. Non-consumptive tourism is only related to viewing and photographing animals that live freely in their natural habitat. Consumptive wildlife tourism is related to influencing wildlife’s natural functioning by engaging in activities such as fishing, hunting, and animal-riding. These niches within wildlife tourism are likely to harm wild animals and their natural habitat. 

This study focuses only on non-consumptive wildlife tourism. It provides an overview of the wildlife specialist niches: safaris, wildlife watching and marine watching. The report will further address reasons for Europe being an interesting market for wildlife tourism, which European countries offer the most potential, and trends that offer opportunities.

• Inform yourself on the niches available in tourism to help you make a clear choice on the niche market you will focus on. CBI offers an infographic which gives a clear overview on all segments and niche markets in tourism.
• Read the CBI studies on nature tourism , birdwatching tourism and adventure tourism , to be informed about opportunities within these related markets.

2. What makes Europe an interesting market for wildlife tourism?

7% of tourism worldwide is concerned with wildlife. In Africa this is 70-80%, with most of their international visitors being from Europe and the United States. However, the importance of wildlife tourism in Africa differs greatly per country. In Morocco, for example, cultural tourism is more important, while in Zambia and Kenya, wildlife tourism is most important. Countries such as Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, and Namibia receive mostly international tourists interested in wildlife. 80% of wildlife tourists in these countries are international. Most of these international tourists are from Europe.

Besides Africa, Europeans are increasingly travelling to the Asia-Pacific region for wildlife watching, being the second region, and rising in popularity. North America is third and South America is fourth. Around 58% of European tour operators provide wildlife watching activities.

COVID-19 travel restrictions and safety measures

Due to COVID-19 travel restrictions, the tourism industry decreased tremendously. Before the pandemic, the number of international visits globally was expected to reach 1.8 billion a year by 2030. Tourism has grown rapidly over the years before the COVID-19 pandemic, with a yearly growth rate of 3%. Now that this development has come to a halt, the wildlife tourism sector is experiencing many job losses .

Because wildlife tourism often uses spacious destinations, it is expected to recover relatively quickly. When travel restrictions decrease, European tourists are likely to travel to destinations that feel safest with regard to COVID-19. For example, small chalets in national parks will likely be preferred over hotels and large group activities. Europeans with a middle to higher income are expected to travel first as travel restrictions become less.

Political circumstances and current affairs in destination countries

Europeans are very aware of current affairs in destination countries. Tourists are less likely to visit a country with unstable political circumstances or recent disastrous events. See the advice the source countries provide for citizens travelling to your country. For example on the Dutch , United Kingdom , Swedish , or Germany ’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs page.

• Learn about managing the effects of COVID-19 on the tourism industry to find reliable sources about Europe’s COVID-19 situation. Read about how to respond to COVID-19 for a step-by-step plan that can help you respond and recover from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
• Focus on the local and regional market while Europeans can’t travel. This might offer you the revenue to keep you in business. At the same time, you need to cut your costs. This can, for example, be done through working with students, or by decreasing the length of packaged tours.
• Target small-scale, specialised wildlife tourism companies in Europe. They will probably be amongst the first to send their clients to your destinations, because they generally have a very loyal clientele. For example, if you offer cycling safaris, target a tour operator in the in Europe that specialises in organising cycling travels.
• Invest in creating a packaged experience for tourists where they can engage in cultural, social, and wildlife activities altogether. Get into contact with your local community, other tour operators, and destination management companies to collaborate on bringing all these activities together. This way, you can offer a large variety of services (for families) while keeping your focus on wildlife tourism.

Market segmentation

European tourists are experienced travellers, with most households taking at least one international trip per year. This makes them well-informed travellers with high demands. European wildlife tourists do not fall within a specific age range, and therefore make a very diverse group. Most European wildlife tourists are well educated and tend to spend more money because they earn higher incomes.

They enjoy travelling with their families or as a couple. Europeans are interested in travelling in smaller groups, because it contributes to a more unique and high-quality experience. Some tourists also enjoy travelling independently, meaning they will plan their trip as they go and do not make use of organised travel offered by tour operators. Business travellers from Europe also engage in wildlife activities, although it is not their main purpose for travel. Therefore, this last group is mainly interested in short trips (1-3 days).

European wildlife tourists are generally interested in intelligent and big animals, elegant animals and animals with vibrant colours. Furthermore, interest in lesser known and rare species is increasing. European tourists are also interested in seeing local predators, such as crocodiles, as long as a safe distance from the animals is maintained. Snakes and spiders are not as interesting for the average European tourist, as they are perceived as dangerous and scary.

European tourists are increasingly concerned with the well-being of wildlife and are willing to pay more to see animals in the wild instead of visiting zoos. They find it increasingly unacceptable when animals are used for entertainment purposes. Feeding animals or making them do tricks is considered unacceptable, because it is not how the animals behave naturally and is not good for their well-being. Swimming with dolphins is an example of an activity that Europeans find less and less acceptable.  

European tourists care about tour operators and their ethics about animal welfare and are more likely to book their trips with tour operators that concern themselves with animal well-being as well.

European wildlife tourists value a unique experience. Personalised tours for European tourists cater to their need for a special holiday experience and add to the idea that their holiday is unique. Offering choices to your customers is beneficial, even if you know in advance which choices your customers will make. Personalising a holiday can be done in multiple ways, including:

• Offering building blocks, such as a walking safari, a cycling safari, and visiting a local village. Let the choices and sequence be determined by your customers.
• Providing options. For example, let your customers choose between a shorter and a longer trail.
• Talking to your clients to make an inventory of their wishes, and coming up with an attractive proposal.

European tourists are also highly interested in learning more about any wildlife they encounter during their tours, to expand their knowledge. Offering a lot of information is therefore essential. Keep in mind that the amount of information that is preferred differs per group of tourists. Therefore, it is important to keep asking your clients about their preferences.

Furthermore, European tourists find it important that the money they spend at their wildlife travel destination gets reinvested in the local community to help them support themselves and the conservation of local wildlife. Friends of Wallacea is an example of a touring operator that makes sure the money from tourists is spent on supporting the local communities and their efforts to conserve the local environment. The travel guides are from the local community and can provide a lot of information about the local wildlife.  

European wildlife tourists can be divided into enthusiastic and casual wildlife tourists:

Wildlife enthusiasts

These tourists tend to be more knowledgeable about wildlife and are interested in further information and education about the wildlife and environment they are visiting. They tend to spend 5-7 days at one destination. These tourists travel more independently by booking activities locally instead of going on organised trips. Many enthusiastic wildlife tourists are independent travellers who do not make use of tour operators to decide what they want to do on location.

Wildlife enthusiasts are usually fit and actively participate in wildlife watching. They appreciate a knowledgeable guide who can teach them about the local animals and environment. They have a wider range of interests when it comes to animals, and are interested in more special and rare species.

Wildlife enthusiasts are often loyal and come to the same destination multiple times to discover and learn more about wildlife they may not have seen during their last visit. As these tourists are more informed about wildlife, they also tend to have higher sustainable awareness and care a lot for animal welfare. Many of these tourists are members of nature-related organisations such as, for example, the United Kingdom’s Wildlife Trusts .

Good-quality or even professional cameras are often used to photograph the animals. Some wildlife enthusiasts, such as professional photographers, travel for professional purposes. Many enthusiasts bring along their families or friends on their holidays. These family members or friends are also interested in wildlife, but usually don’t have very specific interests, and fall in the casual wildlife tourist profile.

Casual wildlife tourists

Casual tourists are interested in more iconic animals, such as “The Big 5”. They are interested in basic information about the animals and their habitat but are less interested in learning about special or rare animals. They are also interested in activities that are not related to wildlife watching. In Kenya for instance, most wildlife trips for this target group are combined with sun and beach activities at the end of their stay.

The social element of travelling and wildlife watching is very important for casual tourists. Organising group or family activities with a guide that can provide general information on the animals and their habitat is important. Next to that, providing a broader range of activities can attract tourists whose main goal is not to experience wildlife. Casual tourists tend to stay for a shorter amount of time than wildlife enthusiasts.

• Ensure that you offer enough information about the various animals, the environment and sustainability for enthusiastic wildlife tourists.
• Market to casual tourists through tour operators that offer packaged holidays with a variety of cultural, social and wildlife-related activities. Market to wildlife enthusiasts directly on location as well as through tour operators. Read about the opportunities in the European FIT tourism market to learn about how to accommodate independent travellers on location.
• Ziplining, hiking, cycling and setting up campfires are examples of activities that can be provided for wildlife tourists to enhance their travel experience with more variety. This is especially interesting for casual wildlife tourists.
• Get to know your visitors personally, both before and during their trip, to make the most out of their experience. Europeans enjoy organised trips that are catered to their specific demands. If possible, the best way to learn about your clients’ needs is by a call or email.
• Make sure to be aware of how to treat wildlife ethically when offering wildlife watching activities. The Travel Association established for British tour operators (ABTA) provides a guideline on how to manage animal welfare in the tourism industry .

3. Which European countries offer most opportunities for wildlife tourism?

The United Kingdom, Germany, and France are the most important European source countries for wildlife tourism in terms of market size, followed by Spain, Italy, and the Netherlands.

The demands of wildlife tourists from different European countries do not differ much. However, different countries in Europe have different travel prospects because of the COVID-19 vaccination rates. The European Commission aims to have 70% of all Europeans vaccinated by the end of September 2021. Currently, most countries are not likely to meet this target. This could change, depending on logistic improvements or changing target groups for vaccination.

Middle to higher-income households are expected to travel long distances sooner than lower income European households after the travel restrictions are lifted. It is expected that Europeans can travel again when COVID-19 is under control, which largely depends on vaccination rates. See this live data tracker to stay informed about the percentage of vaccinated people per European country. A higher vaccination rate may reduce travel restrictions.

United Kingdom

Wildlife watching is becoming increasingly popular among British tourists. According to data provided by World Animal Protection the percentage of British citizens that have taken part in any wildlife activity abroad has increased from 23% in 2014 to 32% in 2019. Most of them (85%) agree that tour operators should avoid activities that cause suffering for wild animals. 87% of the British citizens prefer to see animals in the wild rather than in captivity.  

The United Kingdom is the largest European wildlife tourism source country. Before the pandemic, the average British travel budget in 2020 was €2,108 per trip. They are the largest spenders on international travel. British travellers prefer booking packaged holidays, with around 50% of international travel from the United Kingdom being packaged holidays.

The length of stay for the average British international traveller is 10 nights. The most profitable age-group is between 25 and 55 years old, with little difference in expenditure within this age range. Age groups that fall below and above this range both spend significantly less while travelling internationally.

The United Kingdom currently has the highest vaccination rate, with 49% of the adult population having received at least one vaccine in April 2021.

Germany is the largest European source market in international tourism. According to data provided by World Animal Protection the percentage of citizens that have engaged in any animal activity abroad, has increased from 22% in 2014 to 25% in 2019. When attracting German tourists, it is important to respect animal welfare. Most Germans (88%) agree that tour operators should avoid activities that cause suffering for wild animals.

Germans are dedicated travellers and very much enjoy going on holidays. Germans spend the most money during international travel, compared to other European tourists. 74% of Germans go abroad for holidays, and over 50% of German travellers book activities through a tour operator. German tourists enjoy spending their holidays in warm and sunny countries. In 2018, 5% of German international travellers travelled to Africa for their holidays, 25% travelled to Asia or the Asia-Pacific region and 15% travelled to the Americas. The average budget for international travel in 2020 was €1,583

Germans usually go on organized trips and prepare well. They generally book their trips online. Although they prefer less active holidays in comparison to, for example, the Dutch, natural attractions (36%), nature park visits (32%) wildlife viewing (30%) and hiking in nature (26%) are their favourite holiday activities . 

Germany is a forerunner in sustainability and therefore German tourists are likely to care most for sustainable wildlife tourism activities, with 56% of the German population believing that ecological and social sustainability are important factors to consider when going on holidays. According to data provided by World Animal Protection , 88% of the Germans feel that tour operators should avoid activities that cause suffering for wild animals.

Germans are exceptionally well organised, being well-informed about their destination before they travel. Punctuality and well-organised trips are especially important for them.

The German vaccination rate is much lower than the vaccination rate in the United Kingdom, with 21% of the adult population having received at least one vaccine in April 2021. If the speed of vaccination continues at this pace, there is a possibility that the travel restrictions will stay in place for a longer time.

Most French people like to go to French-speaking holiday destinations like Madagascar and the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire. Therefore, when French is a major language, France is likely to be among the main source countries. French travellers between the ages 25 and 55 offer the largest market for international travel. French tourists usually go on wildlife trips with their families. They also tend to spend their holidays at two or more destinations per trip .

The average French travel budget is €1,522. French people mainly base their travel destinations on the value they get for their money, available outdoor activities, and locations that are suitable for the whole family. The French care more for high quality travel packages than other Europeans. Many French people book their holidays through tour operators and prefer to exclusively experience their holidays with their own travel party.

International travel to areas outside Europe has increased, highlighting Asia, the Pacific and Africa as interesting destinations.

19% of the adult population has received at least one vaccine by April 2021.

In 2020, the average travel budget for Spanish tourists was €1,583. Spain has been badly affected by COVID-19 and the Spanish are the most concerned with their health, compared to other countries.

The Spanish have a high preference for Spanish speaking guides and are more likely to arrange their travels with a tour operator than the other countries in this top six.

21% of the adult population has received at least one vaccine by April 2021.

Just like the Spanish, Italians prefer to book their travels via a tour operator and especially value a tailor-made holiday. Many Italians also tend to travel in larger groups, often with large (multi-generational) families, and prefer an Italian speaking guide. It is often hard to fulfil the needs of different family members with different wishes. Also, margins are generally lower for larger groups. However, their large group-sizes offer some economies of scale.

19% of the adult population has received at least one vaccine shot by April 2021.

The Netherlands

Wildlife watching is becoming increasingly popular among Dutch tourists. According to data provided by World Animal Protection the percentage of citizens that has taken part in any wildlife activity abroad has increased from 28% in 2014 to 30% in 2019.

The average Dutch outbound tourist between 45 and 64 years old spends €1,687 on travel. They enjoy socializing with other travellers during their holiday. Dutch people speak English well and often understand and speak some German too.

21% of the adult population has received at least one vaccine shot by April 2021.

• Learn about the European values and standards if you want to attract European tourists, because they care about their standards being met. They expect to leave on agreed times, have clean accommodation, and have the table set the way Europeans do it. Developing organisational skills to run your business is important to accommodate European tourists. These skills can be developed through a training programme, for example.
• Read what the demand for outbound tourism is on the European market to learn about travel behaviour of different European countries.
• Focus on the United Kingdom, Germany and France if you want to enter the largest European wildlife travel markets.

4. Which trends offer opportunities in the European market for wildlife tourism?

European wildlife travellers seek a connection with nature.

Europeans enjoy travelling to remote areas to connect with nature. They want to experience nature rather than just observe it. People have become more interested in their local natural environment since COVID-19. The interest in taking walks and being in nature as a social and individual activity has increased. This increased appreciation of nature is likely to continue to some extent as COVID-19 regulations decrease. People might be more interested in taking their appreciation for nature internationally when international travel is more accessible. The demand for wildlife tourism is expected to increase among Europeans in the coming years.

There is a decreased demand for luxury goods and services in and around accommodations, as this is considered as being at odds with the natural environment. Accommodation for tourists needs to provide the necessities such as drinkable tap water, needs to live up to basic hygienic standards, and needs to be free of bugs. Some Europeans crave a “digital detox”, where they do not want to be disturbed by their phones or incoming emails during their travel.

European tourists seek a connection with nature that is special and unique. This way tourists feel more connected to their holiday experience. Europeans’ demand for tailor-made trips has increased over the past years. They want to be taken off the beaten track and look out for wildlife in alternative ways. Alternative ways in which Europeans like to experience wildlife are:

• Guided walks or cycling. Most Europeans like to be physically active while enjoying wildlife, without the constant noise of vehicle engines. This way, tourists can engage with nature even more. Make sure you can guarantee the safety of your clients when offering such a tour.
• Canoeing, kayaking or enjoying a river cruise , which allows tourists to see wildlife from the water. Most Europeans will find this idea even more appealing if you can offer trips via locally used transportation, such as a mokoro , which is used in some African countries.
• Hot air balloon safaris, which are offered for example in Kenya and Tanzania, offers tourists the opportunity of experiencing wildlife from the sky . An alternative is experiencing wildlife by using a glider.

European tourists care about the wellbeing of wildlife

When going on a wildlife safari, European tourists enjoy a natural encounter over a forced encounter set up by the tour operators. Tourists also care for the animals’ well-being and would rather leave without seeing the animal for which they came for, than having a forced, set-up encounter.

According to data provided by World Animal Protection , European tourists are finding it less acceptable to swim with dolphins and visit zoos or aquariums, and the number of people doing these activities for fun is decreasing. Most Europeans nowadays prefer seeing animals in their natural habitat. They are often willing to pay significantly more to see animals in the wild.   

Europeans are interested in learning about local wildlife and their habitat. Going on tour with a knowledgeable guide is important for them so they can ask questions and learn more about how they can help conserve specific species or the environment in general. Therefore, it is important to offer information on how you conserve the wildlife’s habitat and tell people how they can do this at home. This connects to European tourists’ values and makes them engaged with the experience. Biosphere Expeditions is an organisation that organises “citizen-science conservation expeditions”. They organise trips where they do research on wildlife and let tourists be part of the research process.

Digitisation is influencing the wildlife market for both tourists and tour operators

Social media has a large influence on wildlife tourism, especially among tourists from generation Y and Z. Experiences of individual tourists are shared with their followers on their Instagram , Facebook , or TripAdvisor accounts. Tourism organisations themselves often also have their own accounts to post updates about wildlife (such as when a baby lion is born), or use social media platforms for marketing.

These platforms allow for real-time engagement with past, current and potential visitors. They also allow for direct feedback from tourists. Instagram is getting more important as camera equipment is advancing. People are interested in taking good pictures of wildlife that they can post on Instagram or show their friends at home. Read our study How to be a successful touring company online for more information.

Since 2017, Instagram has been alerting users when they are looking at pictures or searching hashtags related to animal abuse or selling wild animals. Users can report photos that depict animal abuse and there is speculation that Instagram and other platforms are working on machine learning tools that can identify photos that indicate wildlife abuse. As European tourists care about animal welfare, the developments to detect animal abuse will be ongoing.

Virtual Reality, smartphone apps and headset guides are technological tools that are becoming increasingly important to enhance the tourists’ experience. These are useful tools that help provide educational information and explain safety measures while wildlife watching. An example of a tour guide app is Voice Map . This app helps you create audio tracks for tourists on tour. It makes sure tourists stay on the right track, and provides information according to the tourists' GPS location. It is suitable for walking, cycling, driving, and boat tours.

European are becoming more conscious about sustainability

European tourists are becoming increasingly concerned with climate change and are taking more action in their daily lives to be more sustainable through eating less meat, using less plastic, or buying more organic products, for example. The demand for sustainable travel destinations is likely to increase as well.

WAYO Tanzania is a wildlife tour operator that showcases the actions they undertake to be environmentally sustainable, like setting up green tent camps, eliminating plastic waste and making use of decomposing toilets. They also support local NGOs that support child education and buy from local food suppliers to impact the local economy in a sustainable way.

Multigenerational travel is increasing among Europeans

European tourists are becoming more interested in travelling abroad with their larger family, including grandparents and grandchildren. This creates a need for destinations that can accommodate all generations’ needs. See the study on the opportunities in the European multigenerational tourism market to learn more about how to accommodate all family members.

Africa Endeavours is an example of a tour operator that offers various holidays with activities that are suitable for the whole family. They bring tourists to see the Cape Winelands, the Garden Route, and also include driving safaris and marine watching at the bay.

• Develop an appealing offering by adjusting to new trends. An example could be a ‘digital-detox experience’, where tourists travel to remote areas to connect with nature and watch wildlife.
• Focus on partnering with small European tour operators to avoid standard package holidays and create more personalised package holidays that appeal to individual tourists or families. This way you can focus on making the tourists’ holiday a truly unique experience.
• Offer tourists to credit them when you post their pictures on your website or social media pages to make them feel connected and to attract potential visitors. Get help from your network to build a professional website, app, or social media presence to help reach and connect with your audience. 
• Get accredited certifications to communicate to visitors that the activities or products you are providing are sustainable. For example, the Fair Trade Tourism certification provides certificates for social, economic and environmental sustainability, and provides separate certificates for sustainable accommodation, activities and food services. The Whale Heritage Site certification is a certification for sustainable whale and dolphin watching destinations. Read about how to enter the European market for nature and ecotourism to learn more about sustainable certification.
• Pay attention to the individual demands of Europeans and cater to their needs. This makes European tourists feel like their travel experience is unique and cared for.

Wyoming Office Of Tourism Stops Wildlife Ads In Wake Of Wolf Abuse Scandal

Wyoming’s wildlife is a big tourism draw, but the state Office of Tourism has paused all of its wildlife tourism advertising in the wake of the wolf torture case that has sparked worldwide outrage.

April 19, 2024 7 min read

With Wyoming in the crosshairs of an ongoing international scandal over the torture and killing of a wolf, the state is dialing back all its wildlife advertising, according to an emailed advisory sent out to the Cowboy State’s travel sector and obtained by Cowboy State Daily.

The email was sent out by Wyoming Office of Tourism Senior Communications Manager Piper Singer.

Wyoming Office of Tourism Director Diane Shober said her team is continuing to monitor sentiment and activity around the incident, and will act accordingly.

“The Wyoming Tourism Board and Wyoming Office of Tourism join Gov. (Mark) Gordon and the Wyoming Game and Fish Department regarding the recent incident in Sublette County, and the conviction of the defendant for illegal possession of a warm-blooded wildlife.”

Shober said Wyoming Office of Tourism supports a statement provided by the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission.

“What happened is not reflective of the values of the state of Wyoming,” Shober added. “As the travel and tourism industry, wildlife is a primary reason why people come (to) Wyoming, and its protection and preservation are of utmost importance to us. We encourage all visitors to respect and cherish Wyoming’s wildlife and natural resources.”

In the emailed advisory, Piper acknowledges the widespread public criticism “over the wolf abuse by a resident.”

“Over the past week, Travel Wyoming and many other state agencies are at the forefront of a social boycott,” she wrote. “As a result, we have paused all paid and organic social media until further notice, along with ads related to wildlife experiences.

“We will not be issuing any public statements or engaging with any social comments.”

How To Handle The Backlash

The email goes on to say that the situation will be evaluated daily, to determine when marketing and content strategies around wildlife should resume.

The email also outlines steps that organizations can take to manage emails, phone calls or social media comments, and urges managers to share the advice with front-line staff and welcome centers.

“As an organization, refrain from sharing your opinion or making public statements related to the situation,” the email states. “It’s important as an agency to not make any personal stances in a statement. Please note that it is perfectly OK to NOT engage with these messages that are abusive or aggressive in nature.”

Piper even shared a statement for organizations to use:

“We appreciate your feedback and value your decision to voice your concerns,” her suggested statement reads. “It’s important to emphasize that the actions of one individual do not reflect the broader sentiments or actions of the state of Wyoming.

“As the official travel and tourism authority in Wyoming, our purpose is to promote and inspire travel, and federal laws and wolf management plans fall outside of our jurisdiction.

“For specific inquiries regarding Wyoming’s wildlife, we recommend reading out to the Wyoming Game and Fish Department.”

Roberts And The Wolf

The decision follows worldwide outrage caused after a Sublette County man was accused of capturing a wolf by running it down with a snowmobile, taking it home, then showing it off at a local bar before taking it behind the bar and killing it.

Videos of the captured wolf show a man identified as Cody Roberts, 42, of Daniel at one point stooping down over the wolf to kiss its muzzle , which had been taped shut at one point.

A photograph Roberts with the wolf has also emerged. In it, Roberts poses beside the wolf, whose head is cast downward. Roberts is smiling in the photo, with his arm around the wolf’s neck, seemingly to hold its head still. He has a beer in the other hand.

Roberts was fined $250 by Wyoming Game and Fish for possessing a live wolf, which further outraged many people across Wyoming, as well as other states and other countries. Authorities have said they are investigating the incident further, and there could be more penalties, including loss of hunting privileges.

The incident has brought on a flood of criticism, inundating local law enforcement and Game and Fish phone lines with accusations that the state’s wolf management is too lax, helping to foster questionable practices.

Some of the criticism, however, has targeted people named Cody Roberts who had nothing to do with the incident, they just happen to have the same name and live somewhere in Wyoming.

Wyoming Gets Blasted

One of the most visible results of the fallout over the wolf has been on social media. Every Wyoming official is now a target for comments about what happened in Daniel, no matter what the original topic of the post was.

Sen. Cynthia Lummis, for example, was taken to task over the wolf incident in Sublette County on a post she made blasting the Postal Service’s decision to downgrade Wyoming’s mail processing centers in Cheyenne and Casper.

“Hello Senator Cynthia Lummis, it seems also unacceptable that Wyoming is allowing animal cruelty on a massive scale, and not a word from any elected Wyoming official,” a post from Alan Crawford of Bozeman, Montana, read. “My state, Montana, is no better. Do you approve of chasing animals with motorized vehicles? Your silence speaks volumes about your morals.”

A California respiratory therapist named Laura Shelby, meanwhile, mocked the senator’s post by saying, “If your ZIP code doesn’t impact your ability to commit heinous animal/wolf torture, then it shouldn’t impact your mail center either. Way to go, Senator Lummis.”

Piper, in her email advisory, recommends against deleting such comments from social media, but suggests instead to block aggressive or abusive language such as “torture” or “abuse” using Meta’s (otherwise known as Facebook’s) platform.

She also recommends against directly engaging with comments or posts about what happened to the wolf, and to direct private messages to “more appropriate” resources.

Wildlife A Huge Draw

Wyoming’s untamed wildness, where the deer, antelope, moose, elk and even the wolves play, draws in more than $500 million of the $4 billion or so that tourists spend in Wyoming every year. Wildlife money also supports employment for nearly 10,000 people.

Watching wildlife is also the No. 1 reason many people cite for traveling to the Cowboy State, so it is a substantial part of what draws tourists to the state every year.

Wednesday, however, brought at least 100 people to Riverton for an entirely different reason — to express outrage, in person, over the wolf captured and abused before being killed in Daniel.

Many of the commenters told the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission they were questioning whether they could support Wyoming tourism any more.

“The incident (with the wolf) in Wyoming has given me nightmares,” Lorraine Finazzo of South Carolina told the commission. “Unless there are changes in the laws, we cannot continue to support Wyoming tourism. The laws must change, the world is watching.”

Dozens of people from Wyoming also expressed their outrage over the incident and called for a ban on the practice of running predatory animals down with snowmobiles.

“Wyoming hunters will forever be associated with the likes of the wolf torturer in Daniel, and I refuse to be associated with that,” Wyoming native and hunter Jim Layborn said.

He told Cowboy State Daily after the comment session ended that he’s planning to not obtain hunting tags over the incident.

Spring 2024 Hunter Safety Course, a good i-deer

BENNINGTON — The Hale Mountain Fish and Game Club in Shaftsbury hosted the Spring 2024 Hunter Safety Education Program for Southern Vermont.

All of those who completed the course passed their certification test.

Sherry Schwarz, who brought her children to participate in the course, noted that the educational programming is offered at no cost to participants.

“All our instructors volunteer their time to teach courses. Hale Mountain Fish & Game Club donated the use of its space, including the clubhouse and rifle range for the course," she said.

Materials for the educational program were funded by the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department and the United States Wildlife Restoration Division of Federal Aid, and funded by the Pittman Robertson Act – an 11 percent federal excise tax received through the sale of sporting arms, ammunition, and archery equipment, along with a 10 percent federal excise tax on the sale of handguns.

“One-half of the excise tax on handguns and archery equipment is used for hunter education and target ranges,” explained Schwarz, adding that the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service provides federal aid to state wildlife agencies in order to support hunting-related projects, including education programs like this one, designating protected lands, and improving habitats for a variety of wildlife. The agency also funds research.

Schwarz also pointed out that non-hunters also benefit from the initiatives, since funding supports the management of wildlife areas and wetlands. The improvement and maintenance of these areas assist all wildlife and, the investment in the natural assets that Vermont is known for, provide for locals and the tourism economy.

According to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Department , nearly 10 percent of all Vermont residents register to hunt, with hunting licenses bringing in nearly $5 million in revenue. In 2023, the Vermont Agency of Commerce and Community Development reported that tourism contributed $3 billion to the Vermont economy, with a state-by-state analysis from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis showing that nearly 5 percent of tourism revenue in Vermont was due to outdoor recreational activities.

Kyle Marshall of Pownal brought his two children, Tucker who is 8 and Addison who is 11. Marshall grew up hunting with his father, and wanted his youngsters to be able to experience the same with him. He also noted that his involvement in the course served as a good refresher course, and added to his own extensive knowledge.

Kaitlyn Hamilton, a 19-year-old participant in the course, said, “I’m doing the Hunter Education course because I’ve always gone out with my dad and finally I decided I wanted to be able to hunt myself. I tried to take the course when I was 12, but I lost interest in it. Now, I really want to. I plan to hunt deer. The course has been great. I thought I knew a lot already, but I keep on learning.”

Instructors Monty Walker, Craig Bottesi, Robby Hamilton, Jack Dix, Dan Reap noted that they were surprised by the large turnout for the Spring 2024 course.

“When COVID hit, classes went mostly online,” explained Walker. “When they did resume in person they were mostly small classes of about 10 people, one was even seven students. The first night for this March 2024 class, we had 29 show up.”

The instructors also noted how special it was to be able to work as a team, “It’s why I like working with a team of instructors like our current team, as we each have a different teaching style,” added Walker. “If one of us doesn’t connect, there’s a high chance that another instructor will.”

Reap, who stressed how thorough and comprehensive he felt the course was, agreed, “We’re a good team.”

Vermont is the 14th best state to find a starter home, prospective vermont homebuyers face a 57.5% mortgage payment increase compared to two years ago.

Hamilton, who became an instructor after his daughter took the course, added, “Watching the kids – the younger generation – absorb all the information made me want to give back and be able to teach the youth and carry on the tradition of hunting and being safe.”

Walker, who taught his own son and daughter when they were young, said that that experience was one of the instrumental motivations for becoming an instructor.

“All the memories I have of my kids, I want other people to have with their kids,” he said. “Even myself – to get out in the woods – especially in the morning when everything is waking up, is special. You don’t see that at home – the black bear walking on the downed tree, the turkeys gobbling in the tree, the birds landing on your toes or the end of your gun. You won’t see that at home. Sitting on your couch, you won’t get that experience.”

According to Walker, hunter-related deaths are down. Dramatically, “Vermont goes years without seeing fatalities; I’m not saying accidents, but fatalities.”

Schwarz emphasized the rigor of the education program.

“There were four 2 hour evening classes and one field day, as well as the exam. Everyone had to read ‘Today’s Hunter,’ an almost 100 page guide to hunting responsibly and safely. Students were expected to read this on their own time and then complete the accompanying workbook, which had to be turned in on the day of the test and before being able to earn a Hunter Education Certificate.”

According to Vermont law, hunters must complete a recognized hunter education course and earn certification before being able to purchase a hunting license.

The participants, according to Schwarz, also learned about personal and social responsibility, conservationism, and citizenship.

“They learned that hunters were the first conservationists,” said Schwarz. “Conservation being the wise use of natural resources without wasting them, and preservation being the protection of natural resources that does not include any consumptive use. The 'father of wildlife management' Aldo Leopold was quoted, as students learned about ethics, ‘Ethical behavior is doing the right thing when no one else is watching – even when doing the wrong thing is legal.’”

Foremost in the course was safety. Participants practiced constant muzzle control; keeping the safety on at all times and fingers outside the trigger guard while carrying firearms; respect for every firearm as though it were loaded, even if they believed it wasn’t; to speak up if they see anyone they are hunting with behave in a way that felt unsafe; tree stand safety; extensive wildlife identification, including birds; how to understand and navigate topographical maps, use compasses, and basic orienteering; survival skills and first aid training; and more.

The State of Vermont maintains that enrolling youth in hunter safety programming like this is about more than just safety. It is about building responsible, knowledgeable, and involved hunters who understand hunting laws and the importance of ethical behavior.

Moscow metro to be more tourist-friendly

For many years now, Moscow has lagged behind St. Petersburg when it comes to making life easy for tourists, especially where getting around the city is concerned. Whereas the northern capital installed English-language maps, signs and information points throughout its subway system in the late 2000s, the Russian capital’s metro remained a serious challenge for foreign visitors to navigate.

Recent visitors to Moscow may have noticed some signs that change is afoot, however. In many stations of the Moscow subway, signs have appeared on the floor – with large lettering in Russian and English – indicating the direction to follow in order to change lines. Previously, foreign visitors using the Moscow metro had to rely solely upon deciphering the Russian-language signs hanging from the ceilings.

Student volunteers help tourists find their way in Moscow

However, this new solution has a significant drawback. “The floor navigation is visible only to a small stream of people – fewer than three people per meter. During peak hours, this navigation will simply not be noticed,” said Konstantin Trofimenko, Director of the Center for Urban Transportation Studies.

One of the biggest problems for tourists in the Russian capital remains the absence of English translations of the names of subway stations in the station vestibules and on platforms. The Department of Transportation in Moscow has not commented yet as to when this problem will be solved. However, Latin transliterations of station names can already be found in the subway cars themselves.

Finding the right exit

At four of the central stations – Okhotny Ryad, Teatralnaya, Ploshchad Revolyutsii, Lubyanka and Kuznetsky Most – the city authorities have now installed colorful stands at the exits with schematic diagrams of the station’s concourse and surrounding area, which provide information about the main attractions and infrastructural facilities.

The schematic diagrams are the work of British specialists from the City ID and Billings Jackson Design firms, who have already implemented successful projects in New York and London.

According to Alexei Novichkov, expert at the Design Laboratory at the Higher School of Economics, the design of these information booths raises no objections: The color solutions, font, layout and icons are consistent with international standards.

However, the stands do have some shortcomings. “Many questions are raised about the fact that the developers of these maps did not apply orientation to the north, and have provided layouts of the surrounding areas with respect to the exits,” says Novichkov. “A system like that is used for road navigators, but most of the ‘paper’ guides and maps are oriented strictly to north. The subway map is also oriented to north, so people may become confused.”

Muscovites and foreign visitors are generally positive about these navigation elements, with most of them citing the numbered exits from the subway as the most useful feature.

The fact is that many Moscow subway stations have several exits. One of the busiest central stations of the Moscow subway in particular, Kitay-Gorod, has more than a dozen exits. Previously, these exits were differentiated from each other only with signs in Russian referring to the names of streets and places of interest to which they led – making it easy for tourists and those with poor navigation skills to get confused.

Now, when making an appointment to meet a friend, instead of struggling to find the right spot when they tell you: “I'll meet you at the exit to Solyanka Street,” you can just propose to meet under a specific exit number.

“I’ve lived in Moscow for seven years,” says Angelika, a designer from Voronezh, “but I still don’t always know where to go to find the place I need, so the new schematic diagrams will be very useful. Previously, some subway stations had maps, but not with so much detail.”

Teething problems

Foreigners, meanwhile, focus their attention on other elements. “It is good that the new information boards have QR-codes, which can be ‘read’ by smartphones,” says Florentina, a writer from Vienna. But there are also shortcomings. “The English font of the information on posters and in the captions to theaters and museums is too small – you have to come very close to see it well,” she says.

Pleasant encounters on the streets of Moscow

Florentina was also dissatisfied with the fact that such posters are not provided at all subway stations: “When I was trying to find Tsaritsyno Park (a museum and reserve in the south of Moscow) at a subway station with the same name, it turned out to be quite difficult,” she says.

“There are no maps with landmarks for other areas, such as those already in the city center. There were no clear pointers in the English language, and the passers-by I met did not speak in English, so they could not help me,” she adds.

Officials say that the navigation system is gradually being redeveloped and improved. According to Darya Chuvasheva, a press representative for the Department of Transport of Moscow, the introduction of a unified navigation system will take place in stages.

“By the end of 2014, the system will first appear on the first subway stations on the Circle Line. By the end of 2015, we plan to install the system at all major stopping points, subway stations and transport interchange hubs,” says Chuvasheva.
