An ever-increasing number of people use nature for recreation and tourism across all ecoregions. Those activities now threaten the conservation of 5930 species and marine coastal regions are particularly affected (Lusseau & Mancini 2018). We have focussed much of our management efforts on regulating operators and tourism infrastructure, yet very little can be achieved to maintain the sustainability of a destination once many people are attracted to it. This project will assess how tourists develop their preferences for wildlife tourism destinations and determine how those propagate on social networks. This project will take an ecological approach to understand the social and environmental factors shaping tourist attitudes and preferences. This will be achieved through a combination of social media sampling using approaches we have developed as well as engage in observational and manipulative work to understand how biodiversity couples with tourism attraction (which impacts it).The project will build on previous work at a local scale (in Scotland - Mancini et al 2018, Pirotta et al. 2015) and global scale (Lusseau & Mancini 2018) offering the unique opportunities to expand existing socioecological agent-based models of wildlife tourism that are directly applied to innovate new governance approaches to wildlife tourism and influences policy.

越来越多的人利用自然进行娱乐和旅游，遍及所有生态区。这些活动现在威胁到5930个物种的保护，沿海地区受到的影响尤其严重（Lusseau & Mancini 2018）。我们的管理工作主要集中在规范运营商和旅游基础设施上，但一旦吸引了很多人，就很难保持目的地的可持续性。本项目将评估游客如何发展他们对野生动物旅游目的地的偏好，并确定这些偏好如何在社交网络上传播。该项目将采取生态方法来了解影响游客态度和偏好的社会和环境因素。这将通过使用我们开发的方法进行社会媒体抽样以及参与观察和操纵工作来了解生物多样性如何与旅游吸引力相结合来实现（影响）。该项目将建立在以前的工作在当地规模（在苏格兰- Mancini et al 2018，Pirotta et al. 2015）和全球规模（Lusseau & Mancini 2018）提供了扩展现有社会生态因子的独特机会-基于野生动物旅游的模式，直接应用于创新野生动物旅游的新治理方法并影响政策。
