| Abstract: | This paper explores how an ecosophically (henceforth as: ecos.) inspired (here as: inspd.) tourism strategy could enhance a Scottish mountain recreational site threatened by climate change. Drawing on qualitative data, the focus is on three research questions concerning: i. the impact of current infrastructure and management strategies on tourist experiences (here as: exprs.), ii. tourists' current interpretations and desires (herein as: is-and-ds.), and iii. how the notion of an ecos. informed tourist attraction might be realized from the viewpoint of these exprs., is-and-ds. It is concluded that the site is a long way from being an ecos. inspd. tourism resort, possibly promoting an engagement with nature. Insights are offered as to how this might be achieved. |
