Place of Hunting Tourism in the Structure of Modern Tourism Types
Keywords:
tourism, hunting tourism, formsAbstract
From an economic and social point of view, hunting tourism has two sub-categories: resident hunting and tourism hunting (for the travellers who travel long distances to participate in hunting). Tourism hunting covers six types of tourism: subsistence indigenous hunting, traditional hunting, commercial hunting, recreational-sport hunting, integrated hunting, and optimum level game maintenance hunting. Hunting tourists should be classified into three distinct categories: large game hunting tourists (for whom what matters is adventure and trophies), small game hunting tourists (interested in the hunting experience), and experienced hunting tourists (characterised by the use of frontal charge guns or arrow shooting). Hunting tourism can be considered a sub-category of nature tourism because it contributes to the preservation of area biodiversity, of cultural tourism as educational, cultural activity, and of sustainable tourism in protected areas (ecotourism) whose hunting tourism sub-category is trophy hunting.
