摘要:This paper illustrates the malleable boundaries that define nature and tourism. Personal construct theory is employed to examine the apparent contradiction of the human/nature binary posed by landscapes generated by domesticated agriculture and physical and biological processes. The landscapes become attractions through the meanings that are ascribed to them by promotional agencies and tourists. The purpose is to explore how marketing operates to naturalize human landscapes as “wilderness”. Policy implications for the region’s nature based tourism are explored.
