بخشی از متن:Abstract
Purpose – National Park Service (NPS) units generate a significant economic impact for states and local
gateway communities across the USA. Utah is home to 13 NPS units with visitation accounting for 18% of the
state’s US$9.75bn tourism economy in 2018. Twelve NPS units, including five national parks, are located in
Southern Utah, driving an economy that is heavily dependent on tourism. This paper examines the challenges
and opportunities for visits to national parks post-COVID-19, generally and in the specific context of Southern
Utah. Although the assumption is that visits to national parks will recover quickly, this paper will critically
examine how visitation may change and what adaptive measures and alternative forms of unit management
may be necessary.
Design/methodology/approach – By adopting a holistic-inductive paradigm, this paper utilizes a
descriptive case study approach. Data were collected across a variety of mediums focusing on interviews with
key stakeholders in and around Southern Utah.
Findings – The results from this study highlight the various challenges faced in parks and gateway
communities vis-a-vis changing patterns of visitation, adaptive measures and alternative forms of unit
management necessary due to COVID-19 and their impact on the future management and marketing of
national parks for touristic purposes.
Originality/value – This paper examines the impacts of COVID-19 on an often-neglected yet significant area
within tourism, yielding implications for industry, visitors and destination communities.
