Abstract

In this research, we systematically reviewed the impacts of wildlife tourism on human-wildlife conflict. Our findings of the four thematic areas provided significant insights about the previous research. They indicated that “wildlife management” and “disturbance” are emerging fields of research in this domain, and more recently, themes emerged around “human-wildlife conflict,” “climate change,” and “ethnoprimatology.” Our literature showed that most of the wildlife tourism conflict involved wildlife behavior change (22.72%), crop riding (15.90%), and livestock depredation (9.09%), and few attempts have been made to explore the effects of wildlife tourism on other aspects of conflict such as attacks on human and negative attitudes towards wildlife. We provided significant insights about key areas of interest in wildlife tourism research, and it is expected that human-wildlife conflict will play a key role in generating future research on wildlife ecotourism research, which is necessary for human-wildlife coexistence.
