Description of the research topic:
Research on visitor satisfaction ranges widely, partly because the visitor experience is highly situational and personal, but also because it is determined by factors that play an important role in the "perception" and "experience" of a given destination (nature reserve, etc.). It may be interesting to examine attitudes towards safety comfort in a destination with a safety risk (see Cape Cost, Ghana) or perhaps the supply and demand preference for cultural preservation and traditions (community-based tourism) in rural destinations. The research framework also has a strong focus on the study of the natural experience in nature reserves. Nature interpretation has become an essential pillar of visitor management: tourism planners seek to strike a balance between sustainable conservation of tourism resources and visitor satisfaction. Nature, as a specific and constantly changing phenomenon, is the framework of a unique hermeneutic circle, which always addresses the recipient, the visitor differently and, by its very character (unlike the built environment), contributes to the development of an infinite range of possibilities for the interpretation of visitors. The research topic takes an exciting and less known approach, through the filter of hermeneutics, focusing on attitudes to the experience of nature.
