Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This study examines the values and environmental attitudes of three independent samples of ecotourists, including (i) Polish ecotourists, (ii) Canadian ecotourists visiting Costa Rica, and (iii) American ecotourists visiting Mexico. The purpose is to provide a base of cross-cultural data on contemporary measurement scales which have utility in allowing researchers to better understand the ecotourist. The paper further discusses these groups in the context of the ACE tourism framework, which suggests that ecotourists can be differentiated on the basis of adventure, culture, and natural history according to programme offerings, setting, and other factors.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
