Estimate of Relative Aesthetic Impact of Northwest Region Caribou Strategy on Remote Tourism
註釋Draft management guidelines for maintaining woodland caribou habitat in northern Ontario require maintaining and renewing large tracts of older forest suitable as caribou habitat. Tourist outfitters in that region have expressed concern over the effect of cutover size and disturbance on tourism in remote fly-in outposts. This study utilizes a remote tourism decision support system (RT-DSS) to explore how implementing those guidelines might affect remote tourism. The RT-DSS models the preference of remote fly-in outpost clients for a total of 25 variables. Only those variables pertaining to shoreline buffer width, cut size, visible cutover area, and other factors relevant to timber management were considered. The effects of the caribou guidelines were compared to those of the status quo in forest management, as represented by guidelines for the provision of moose habitat.
