    Ecotourism Production Process: Best Practices for Developing Ecotourism in the Pacific Northwest Michael Anthony Montanari A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Marine Affairs University of Washington 2013 Committee: Marc L. Miller Dorothy Paun Program Authorized to Offer Degree: School of Marine and Environmental Affairs ©Copyright 2013 Michael Anthony Montanari University of Washington Abstract Ecotourism Production Process: Best Practices for Developing Ecotourism in the Pacific Northwest Michael Anthony Montanari Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Marc L. Miller School of Marine and Environmental Affairs The field of marine and environmental affairs is multi-disciplinary connecting the complexities of science, law, and policy and incorporating the framework of Human Dimensions of Global Change in the Marine (and Terrestrial) Environment. Ecotourism focuses on sustainability and is causally affected by the driving forces in global change. The tourism industry is increasingly recognized as an enormously potent force for sustainable development and positive change in the environment. Today, people travel more than ever. In recent years, elements of the travel market have begun to insist that their travel not jeopardize the quality of the natural environment and their travel not jeopardize the quality of life for the visited communities. Ecotourism is examined in connection with the sociological model of tourism that includes brokers, locals, and tourists and this model is expanded to include nature and technologies. Ecotourism definitions incorporate principles of sustainable tourism and the triple bottom line is the metric for measuring ecotourism success. Ecotourism is an experience and an industry jointly produced by Broker-Local-Tourist dynamics.

  • Emily Doherty Environmental Studies April 10, 2014 Women in Ecotourism Abstract
    Emily Doherty Environmental Studies April 10, 2014 Women in Ecotourism Abstract: Ecotourism is one of Costa Rica’s main industries, and while it brings huge economic capital into the country, these new opportunities are not equally distributed among all genders. Women are slowly gaining social equality, but currently women are limited by only getting specific domestic jobs in the ecotourism industry. Many argue that ecotourism in Monteverde is empowering women and it is true that more women are getting jobs outside the home, however, they are generally still confined to domestic types of jobs like cleaning and cooking. A survey of 12 businesses in Monteverde revealed that out of 22 outdoor educational ecotourism guides, only 2 of them were women. The women who are working in ecotourism are not being active members of the experiential process. Resumen: Introduction: Women are fighting all over the world for gender equality, and the prevalence of sexism can especially be found in specific parts of the world, including Central America. In Costa Rica, machismo is often prevalent in the street, in the family structure, and in the job force. Ecotourism brings in the vast majority of Costa Rica’s overall revenue and bolsters their economy and provides many more new jobs (Horton 2009). Within ecotourism though, there are many different classifications of jobs, ranging from janitorial staff, guides, gardeners, receptionists, accounts, managers and administrators. According to Gender and Tourism (2014), “women make up the majority of the tourism workforce, but they tend to be in the lowest paid, sometimes even un-paid, and lowest status jobs”.
