Sammendrag
Hunting tourism can help to diversify local economies in rural areas. In northern

Sweden, hunting tourism has the potential to counteract outmigration and unemployment, but

may entail ecological and social risks. I used a mail survey of 2,110 hunters in rural northern

Sweden to assess attitudes toward hunting tourism. Respondents emphasized the importance

of hunting to maintain economical, social, and cultural values in the rural areas. Most hunters

estimated that game contributed equal or larger amount of meat to their household than meat

bought commercially. Few respondents had first hand experience of hunting tourism and they

were divided on their attitude towards promoting hunting tourism. Many (46%) were

uncertain about their attitude towards hunting tourism; 36% were positive and 18% were

negative. Ethical values on using wildlife in hunting tourism and the attitude towards new

hunters coming to hunt influenced attitudes on development of hunting tourism. Hunters that

were positive to hunting tourism believed that it would create new jobs. Because hunting in

Sweden is highly organized and collective, there are no models of hunting tourism adapted to

the hunting culture in northern Sweden. The uncertainty of the potential local benefits from a

development of hunting tourism should be placed within a research framework, especially in

the northernmost parts where governmental undertakings are large and the state can influence

land use.
