Tourism and wildlife photography codes of ethics: Developing a clearer picture

Annals of Tourism Research, 2020, vol. 85, issue C

Abstract: The global wildlife tourism industry's sustained growth has placed significant degrees of pressure on wildlife attractions, even though there is a push to make the industry more responsible. Photography, ethics, and wildlife are all important aspects of the wildlife tourism experience. While research exists on all three of these elements, there is a paucity of research that intersects all three. The aim of this study was to investigate wildlife photography codes of ethics based on a global search of all web sources based on content analysis. Codes were found to be primarily deontological over teleological, and cosmopolitan over local in origin.
