Abstract In this study, we assess the relations between nature-based tourism (NBT) products and natural resources. Based on interviews with providers of relatively new and emerging NBT products in Norway, we analyze the requirements set by the NBT products, the relevant resource characteristics, and the in-between connections. Findings are categorized along six dimensions, which are discussed within the context of the NBT experiencescape. Conclusions indicate that key dimensions of the NBT experiencescape are multi-faceted and partly in conflict with each other. The study proposes a framework that may serve as a tool for identifying and managing natural resources important to the NBT sector.
