| Call
for Papers. Journal of Ecotourism: Special Issue on "aboriginal
ecotourism"
Despite recent studies and research, marketing campaigns, Aboriginal
ecotourism (also known as Indigenous ecotourism) when compared to
other forms of tourism, has been comparatively under-studied. Given
the growth in Aboriginal ecotourism (note this does not include
gambling and casinos) and its potential impacts, it is important
to assess the current knowledge regarding Aboriginal ecotourism,
and to discover to what extent Aboriginal community needs are addressed
by scholarly research in Aboriginal ecotourism. This special issue
on Aboriginal ecotourism in the Journal of Ecotourism will feature
empirical research, feature conceptual, theoretical, and development
models providing a greater understanding of aboriginal tourism,
while promoting the concepts of capacity building, respect, equity
generation, and empowerment in aboriginal communities. Special emphasis
will be placed upon multidisciplinary and/or collaborative articles
written by academic and indigenous partners.
