Chambliss Karen-Slotkin Michael H.-Vámosi Alexander R.: A 'javító' fenntarthatóság a'steady-state' fenntarthatóság és a strukturált ökoturizmus

A 'javító' fenntarthatóság.. 27 experts and photographers conduct the workshops, bringing together an impressive collection of talent. - Desire for short trips The time span for BWFs is typically three to five days. The SCBWF is structured so that ecotourists may attend for one day or extend their stay beyond the formal five-day period of the festival to further enjoy the area on their own. The festival brochure has become a year-round outdoor adventure guide for Florida's Space Coast, enabling visitors to choose from a wide array of activities. Structured ecotourists also prefer larger groups, expect a higher level of services, and requisite interpretation. - Larger groups The 2005 SCBWF attracted more than 2,000 individuals. Activities such as the field trips, seminars, and workshops discussed above are supplemented with social activities, providing people the opportunity to interact with the highly respected key notes, trip leaders, interpreters, and like-minded individuals. The structure of the SCBWF is such that registrants can choose as much, or as little, social interaction as they desire. - Services expected The registration process, which can be completed online, provides registrants a user-friendly means of choosing the flavor of their trip to satisfy their desire for birding, wildlife viewing, historical and cultural tours and seminars, or a more scientific choice of activities. The organizers also enhance the ease of travel by recommending hotels, restaurants, and other service providers in the area. The Titusville campus of Brevard Community College serves as the SCBWF headquarters where, upon arrival, visitors check in to receive their registration packets and rendezvous for the seminars, workshops, key notes, and some social events. The campus is the departure point for many of the field trips as well. - Requisite interpretation The SCBWF excels in providing interpretation to festival attendees. Due largely to the efforts of the primary festival organizer and entrepreneur, Laurilee Thompson, world-renowned experts participate as keynote speakers as well as lead and provide interpretation in field events, seminars, and workshops. The areas provided are continuously expanded as exemplified by one of the most popular developments in recent years - digiscoping. Digiscoping combines the technology of the digital camera with binoculars to produce some breath-taking photographs that previously were the purview of dedicated professional photographers.
