Summary: Research conducted in Norway's largest national park and wild reindeer range found that female reindeer herds tend to avoid areas with high human traffic and recreational infrastructure, and they start avoiding crossing hiking trails when visitor volumes exceed 30-50 persons per day. This study highlights the importance of considering human use data in disturbance research to improve management strategies for co-existence between humans and reindeer.

Summary: Protected areas provide important recreational, social, and economic benefits, but their sustainability is dependent on the ability to manage visitation. The design and use of trail networks in these areas often cause negative impacts on natural and cultural resources. This paper reviews trail science research and presents models for evaluating trail sustainability, aiming to enhance the management of trail networks in protected areas.

Summary: Outdoor recreation in natural areas is becoming more popular globally, but its long-term effects on wildlife are poorly understood. This study investigated whether tourism in the Dolomites, Italy, affected wild mammals in the long term and if it resulted in spatial or temporal avoidance. Camera trapping was used to detect mammal occurrences over seven summers at 60 consistently sampled sites. Overall, human presence increased over the 7-year period, but both community and species-level occurrences of mammals also increased. However, human activities caused temporal avoidance in the whole community and spatial avoidance in bigger-sized species.

Summary: Qilian Mountain National Park is a biodiversity hotspot with significant agriculture and tourism resources. However, human activities have led to landscape transformations and fragmentation in certain areas of the park. Human disturbance has a stronger impact on landscape fragmentation than natural factors, with residential area distribution and agricultural land expansion being the main drivers of fragmentation.

Summary: The study focuses on the effects of tourism disturbance on the diurnal activity pattern and vigilance of breeding arctic foxes at den sites. Results show that high intensity tourism leads to increased daytime activity at the den site, contrary to the increased nocturnality observed in studies of other species. The difference is attributed to the higher cost of avoiding a key site for the animal compared to avoiding general human disturbance in the animal's distribution range.

Summary: This study used GPS data collected from visitors in Yosemite National Park to develop an example ABM of visitor use, demonstrating the feasibility of using GPS tracking data to generate agent rules. However, there are still knowledge gaps for further development of ABMs in nature-based tourism research.

Summary: The study reveals that man-made attractions have a significant influence on domestic tourists' choices of regional destinations, with the ability to mitigate the negative impact of travel distance through the construction and enhancement of these attractions. Additionally, taste heterogeneity among tourists due to their city of origin can lead to different preferences in destination choices.

Summary: This qualitative investigation examines Airbnb's Online Experience as a novel virtual tourism initiative using attention restoration theory. The study analyzes tourist reviews from Airbnb's platform, focusing on touring services such as sightseeing and cultural immersion. The findings reveal a variety of virtual tour experiences related to deep immersion, authenticity, nostalgia, hedonism, past-present resonance, novelty, learning, social interaction, and escape. Airbnb's state-of-the-art platform, with features such as super hosts, storytelling, personalization, virtual connection, stay-at-home indulgence, and technology enablement, transcends the idea of home as the central stage for virtual attention restoration amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.

Summary: The challenge of balancing outdoor recreation and public health during the COVID-19 pandemic is a top concern for managers. Protective measures like social distancing and mask-wearing are essential but their adoption is not well understood. An observational study assessed mask-wearing behaviors among trail walkers in the United States and found significant variance in compliance.

Summary: Food provisioning has a negative impact on the social environment and behavior of dolphins, leading to reduced calf survival and reproductive success. Provisioned dolphins exhibit limitations in socializing, activity range, and social associations, likely due to investing time in an unnatural foraging strategy near provisioning sites in proximity to human activities.

Summary: This article explores the language practices used on online forums to understand how people construct meaning of outdoor experiences and how these meanings function collectively in society. Through the analysis of content and style on a trail forum in Washington, the article examines the establishment of recreation norms, systems of power and authority, assumptions about people and place, and the formation of insider and outsider groups. The perspectives shared on online forums can inform management decisions that promote equitable and inclusive access to recreation spaces and services.

Summary: Popular culture tourism attracts fans who travel to destinations associated with their interests, but current scholarship in this area lacks coherence due to fragmented and separate disciplinary approaches. This paper argues for an interdisciplinary approach to popular culture tourism as a distinct field. A literature review identifies the foundational elements and key themes, enabling a comprehensive perspective on the study and management of popular culture tourism. The paper also outlines primary research questions to further investigate this phenomenon.

Summary: The study showed that mountain hiking trails have significant influence on seed rain, seed bank abundance, and seedling emergence, facilitating vegetation shifts. Plots near trails had higher seed rain and seedling abundance, indicating a positive role of trails in plant dispersal and establishment.
