I think leveraging digital strategies for sustainable wildlife tourism, first needs to be understood in this context. It is basically using digital tools like websites to promote and support wildlife tourism such that it is eco-friendly or environmentally friendly
Again, using online platforms will inform the tourists or visitors about the capacity any eco-friendly destinations can take. When this happens, any number of tourists more than the expected number at the site would resort to overtourism. So beit a researcher, tourist or visitor, Technology is very crucial for promoting and supporting wildlife tourism.
Thank you so much for such a valuable answer provided from your side sir. But for a thorough context study, could you please suggest me some literatures related to the topic mentioned, that will be highly resourceful for me.
