Abstract

In questioning hunting’s effect on tourism, this paper aimed at looking into destinations that host unique animal populations and why their existence is crucial to lasting economic stability in the regions. Several prior research studies have been examined in an effort to understand the different methods that have been recently utilized to protect animal populations and their habitats. Different payment systems, official protected areas, and law enforcement are among the methods examined. Drawing from each of the prior studies examined and incorporating the core principles of ecotourism, recommendations are made on how to ensure that both human and animal populations are considered and supported in their distinct needs. Implementing an ecotourism plan that incorporates education, organizational support, financial benefits, and one that closely monitors the effects of tourism is crucial in protecting people, animals, and the environments they call home.
